Much of this game is heavily based on Super Mario World with both graphics and general themes being taken from this game.
Another notable aspect of the game is its Mode 7 graphics, where the game simulates a 3D plane by rotating and scaling a background graphic on a scanline-by-scanline basis, allowing players to simulate driving in a 3D environment. The development of a one-on-one Battle Mode was invented as another way to enjoy the competitive aspects of the game. Unlike the other racing games at the time, which focused on single-player racing with more complicated tracks, Super Mario Kart was focused on two players and was designed to be an easy and intuitive 'pick up and play' experience that heavily involves the use of acquiring weapons on an obstacle course-like track to impede another player's progress. Super Mario Kart is a racing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which was first released in 1992 and re-released in 1996 as a Player's Choice title, being the first title in the line up.
