Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart 64 is a racing video game released by Nintendo in 1996 for the Nintendo 64 console, featuring characters from the Mario franchise competing in go-kart races while using power-ups to gain advantage.
The game pioneered four-player split-screen multiplayer and became iconic for its chaotic competitive dynamics: We stayed up all night playing Mario Kart 64.
Its courses and items—particularly the blue shell—remain cultural touchstones in gaming.
