Super Mario Kart is easily the worst Mario Kart but it is far from a bad game. My biggest recommendation for this game is to give it some time to learn the controls, once you do this game can be fun. I should also mention that the CPUs blatantly cheat but there isn't much they can do if you just keep your acceleration going.
My favourite tracks are Rainbow Road and Mario Circuit 2 while my least favourite track is Bowser Castle 3. Music isn't super crazy but I do enjoy Koopa Beach and especially Rainbow Road.
Give this game a fair shot, it paved the way for future kart racers.

The game that started it all, a pretty alright Mario Kart for the time, but with improvement upon improvement with every subsequent title, this game feels quite bad to play, but in a charming way! The controls are super slippery, like you're playing on ice all the time and the CPU rubberband to hell and back but I don't think it could be any other way, otherwise the future games might have stagnated, who knows. Even if its extremely dated now, it is still worth a shot to try.
Compared to the other games in the Mario Kart series, this one obviously doesn't age as well. It's kind of hard to get used to how it works after playing the newer, more refined ones. Though I'd still say it's a pretty comfortable, enjoyable experience. Obviously I think this game deserves some respect for starting, if not at least popularizing an entire racing sub-genre, too.

Super Mario Kart is the kart racer that started it all, and it still holds up remarkably well! Sure, the graphics are dated, but the tight controls, wacky items, and classic tracks are as fun as ever. Battle Mode with friends is chaotic joy, and the harder cups offer that old-school challenge. It's a timeless classic and a must-play for any retro gaming fan or Mario Kart enthusiast.
O jogo é interessante. Embora hoje em dia existam jogos melhores graficamente, esse jogo ainda te pode tirar do tédio. Claro, jogo em um android, e isso influencia na jogabilidade e melhora os gráficos. A negatividade é que eu uso somente o Bowser, então o Mario automaticamente é difícil de passar. Até aí tudo bem, pois cada personagem que você controla tem um principal rival, digamos assim. O problema é que o Mario ativa frequentemente um poder especial (power up) da estrelinha [foi mal, não sei o nome 😅] pra compensar a falta de velocidade do personagem, e isso, bem, é chato pra caramba... Claro, o jogo pode enjoar fácil devido aos poucos personagens, powerups e mapas, devido às limitações. Mas com certeza foi uma febre na época. Ah! Só não bata o kart neste jogo, pois isso atrapalha bastante. ;)
The first Mario Kart! I didn't even know a SNES version existed until I started collecting in 2011. After completing it, all I think of is, this game is better when you're playing with friends but not in single player. It's a good game but definitely not as refined as the other games. The drifting feels like I'm slip n sliding everywhere even after I let go of my drift. HOWEVER, I respect this game because it was the first of its kind and single handily created the "Kart" genre. It's not my go to Mario Kart, but it's still a good time with friends.
super mario kart may be one of the definitive examples of a barebones project that allowed for so many ideas to flow in the future. it's an equally challenging as it is rewarding game play loop that is great for short bursts of fun. a light-hearted experience, it's delightful color palletes & range of locals offer just enough variety that one could expect from a super nintendo game. nothing that will blow you away or make you say "they don't make games like they used to", but good enough to jump in here and there.
