Super Mario Kart has two single player modes, Mario Kart GP and Time Trial. In Mario Kart GP one player races against seven computer controlled characters in a series of five races, these are called cups. Initially there are three cups available the Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup and Star Cup at two difficulty levels, 50cc and 100cc. By winning all three of the cups at the 100cc level, a fourth cup the Special cup is unlocked. Winning all four cups at 100cc unlocks a new difficulty level, 150cc. Each cup consists of five five lap races, each taking place on a distinct track. In order to continue through a cup a position of fourth or higher must be achieved in each race. If a player finishes in fifth to eighth position they are "ranked out" and the race must be replayed at the cost of one of a limited number of lives until a placing of fourth or above is achieved. Points are awarded by finishing in the top four positions in a race; first to fourth place receive nine, six, three and one points respectively. The racer with the highest number of points after all five races have been completed wins the cup. In time trial mode players race against the clock, through the same tracks that are present in Mario Kart GP mode, attempting to set as fast a time as possible.
Super Mario Kart also has three multiplayer modes; Mario Kart GP, Match Race and Battle Mode. The multiplayer modes support two players and the second player uses the bottom half of the screen which is used as a map in the single player modes. Mario Kart GP is the same as in single player, the only difference being that there are now two human controlled drivers and six computer controlled drivers. Match Race involves the two players going head to head without any computer characters on a track of their choosing. In Battle Mode the two players again go head to head but this time in one of four dedicated Battle Mode courses. Each player starts with three balloons around their kart which can be destroyed by power ups fired by the other player. The first player to have all three of their balloons destroyed loses the battle.
Super Mario Kart was re-released on the Japanese Virtual Console on June 9th 2009. Previously, when naming it as one of the most wanted games for the platform in November 2008, Eurogamer stated that problems emulating the Mode 7 graphics were responsible for its absence. The game has also been given a classification by the Office of Film and Literature Classification in Australia for the Wii.
