Mario Kart is a series of video game produced by Nintendo. It is a racing game series in which you drive karts. The drivers of those karts are mostly famous characters of the Mario series, like Mario himself, his brother Luigi, Toad and many others. Each of them has a particularity that contributed to the game play of the kart.

One of the main assets of this series is the fact that you can use object in order to slow down your enemies, to protect yourself, or to go faster.
The first opus of the series, Mario Kart, was released in 1992 and it met a huge success. Since then every gamers awaits the new opuses for the fun they give and for its multiplayer part.

Indeed Mario Kart is known to be one of the best multiplayer games ever. There are many types of multiplayer modes, like the simple racing and the battle-mode in which you're in an arena and your goal is to use the different items you find in order to destroy your opponents.

This mode is one of the funniest in video game history, personally I haven't had as much fun since and I think it is the same for many gamers.
Let's hope the incoming Mario Kart Wii will be as good the Mario Kart 64 was. It would be a shame if it isn't.
