Mario Kart has been the gold standard of kart racing for so long that it can be easy to take for granted, but the series is not a static thing. There have been gradual shifts in game design over time that you can really only see if you zoom all the way out. Especially in the series' track design. Let's go over the series, from Super Mario Kart to 8 Deluxe, and look at how the track design philosophy has changed and adapted over time.

Featuring:
Super Mario Kart
Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Mario Kart Double Dash!!!
Mario Kart DS
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
It's all the Mario Karts. 'Cept the other ones.
