Super Mario Kart (SNES) Gameplay

UPDATE, 11/19/2011: Over half a million views. What else can I say?

Wait, I got an embed from Time Magazine? HLOY SIHT
Wait, they linked to this on the Top Gear website? WHOA

Gameplay from the Super NES game Super Mario Kart, emulated in ZSNES.

The start of a legend of gaming. The original SMK was unbalanced, brutal, and unrefined. It was also pretty much unlike anything we'd ever seen before. It was a racing game, something we'd seen before, but with Mario characters and items. It let us not only race the game, or our best times, or each other, but it also let us turn our aggression, built over the course of CPU-administered beatings, onto each other in direct battle.

No wonder it spawned imitators. No wonder it's a fixture on Nintendo systems. No wonder it's a favorite.

UPDATE, 6/7/2008: Geez, nearly 1,500 views in a month. Most of my videos don't get that in three or four months. Some don't even get it in six.

Thanks.

UPDATE, 7/22/2008: Less than three months and this video has over 4,000 views. Jeez, do you people like this thing or WHAT?

UPDATE, 11/5/2008: 15,000 VIEWS IN SIX MONTHS HOLY SHIT WHAT MAKES THIS VIDEO SO DAMN POPULAR?

UPDATE, 12/14/2008: 20,000 VIEWS GOOD GOD WHY

UPDATE, 4/1/2009: Over 40,000 views. Sweet holy screaming crap. This is, by far, the most popular video I've put up. Am I bringing in people or something?

UPDATE, 6/19/2009: Over 60,000 views. I've been pointing this video out as an example of what happens when one video unexpectedly gets really big.

UPDATE, 7/6/2009: A little less than 14 months has passed, and this video is approaching 70,000 views. I'm amazed, really.

UPDATE, 10/23/2009: Well over 100,000 views. Thank you. Really.

UPDATE: 12/09/2010: 300,000 views and more. Is there anyone out there who would argue that this video is triggering nostalgic feelings in a whole lot of people?

UPDATE, 11/11/11: Just shy of 500,000 views. I understand why.

@golfgaz That's an awfully stupid thing to be mad-in-the-ass about.

[golfgaz]

@HardWiredGaming Yeah well nothing annoys me more than people who go to all the trouble of uploading 90s based console gaming footage & then not even bother using a difficult to master character like Kong or Bowser & a difficult level such as Ghost Valley 2. People like you make me sick & typify all that is evil in the world.
