Super Nintendo Classic: All 21 SNES Games Announced - Ranked

2. Super Mario Kart

What really needs to be said about the OG Super Mario Kart that hasn't been hyperbolically said before?

It would be easy to be quite flippant about the racing classic - especially as it appears to be such an immature take on the race formula - but the longevity and the endless replayability of it is the perfect answer to any cynicism. It is a local multiplayer legend - almost seminal in that respect - with an irresistible hook of in-race battle and the best power-up system of any game ever.

And it's not simple either: sure, playing against the compute quickly became easy, but the community of local players was so invested that almost everyone in a SNES-playing friend group was capable of putting up a challenge. Which is precisely what made it all so intoxicatingly competitive.

The fact that it still holds up today says a lot.
