The first Mario Kart game ever. There are four cups to race each with 5 tracks a-piece. Excellent multiplayer game. Co-op or versus.
Hack Description:
This of course is a hack of the popular SNES game, Super Mario Kart. Just like the base game, there are 4 different cups with 5 tracks per cup, with 3 different speed classes, 50cc, 100cc, and the unlockable 150cc.

- 20 NEW custom tracks to replace the original game's tracks with
- 4 cups to race through, those being Shitake Cup, Rose Cup, Superstar Cup, and finally Hero Cup
