This and Mario Kart Super Circuit is the only Mario Karts i need for the complete collection, i hope this game will come to the Virtual Console.

When I was four I played this with my friend a lot, even though neither of us could ever win a course we still had lots of fun! I hope this comes to Virtual Console soon!

Super Circuit was garbage.

Yes, Super Circuit was garbage. However I do enjoy seeing Super Circuit courses on the DS and Wii Mario Kart games. I'll be downloading Super Mario Kart as soon as it appears.

OH MY GOSH! IT'S BEEN RATED! THANK YOU NITNENDO!

Nope wait a minute! It's been OFLC rated. No ESRB rating. Never mind.

Super Circuit was not garbage, it was good. However, this is the Mario Kart I have been waiting for since the VC was announced.

When is the ESRB going to rate this?

It probably already is for all we know. The ESRB doesn't always show games before they get released.

I actually liked Super Circuit. I had this, although I prefer the N64 version.

Mario Kart 64 was always my favorite. But, this game was pretty fun!

Super Circuit being garbage? It's the second best Mario Kart right after the original.

Can we say top 20 VC Games list anyone? I see this as being at least number 3 or 4 on that list once it is out.5th at the very least.

I hope this or SSB is VC Game number 300.Then again if it comes out before or after as long as it is this year i'll be just fine.

Come on ESRB. Let's rate this game.

@JTCPingas09: Yeah, we all can't wait for the ESRB rating, but at least the OFLC rating's worth something! Even though it's not alot lol

@WolfLink22: There have been many rumors out there that Zelda: Majora's Mask will be the 300th release in the US, however, anything's a possibility!

I also agree that we can't wait forever for this game to be ERSB rated... but my guesses Nintendo might hold out on the surprises after E309 & maybe, just maybe; Super Mario Kart will be ERSB rated & might come out within the end of 2009! So my guesses sometime within June or July it gets ERSB rated & maybe come out... it its later though in Q4 of 2009; so be it!

BTW I probably will get the game; but it looks SOO outdated to the N64 Mario Kart! I probably won't play it at all ever so often & it'll sit on my SD card menu with all of the other games I rarely play!

& BTW; I think the N64 version is the best in the series... unlike Mario Kart Wii however!

Yes, Super Circuit is garbage in my opinion, well compared to every other Mario Kart game, it is definetly the worst game in the series. Now as for a prediction, I don't have a clue. I know Majora's Mask is going to be 300, while Europe probably will get it for 300 and we get it for 350 and then it starts a cycle in which good games we get every 50 after Europe, theres my prediction I don't want to be mean, but this is how I see it is going to happen and it will piss off a lot of NOA gamers including myself.

If MM is vc game number 300 then i'll be ok with it.Because i still have it in cart form.

If VC Game number 300 is SSB then i'll need more Wii Points.

If we do end up getting Super Mario Kart for VC Game number 300 then i'll have just enough for it unless we get ClayFighter as VC Game 299.

I just hope we start getting great VC Games again very soon.

i'm super happy to see this coming
its the only mario kart i really like and which gave me the best memories
actually the best racing game for me, and i dont like much racing games
thx alot nintendo, now put it up in VC soon enough

Never got to play this, but it looks like Wacky Wheels for PC. Anyone who can compare these two?

At long last! This is the game I've been waiting for years to download! Hopefully we'll get the SNES-style controller that the Japanese have as I can't imagine winning the 150cc Special Cup with anything else!

This is without a shadow of the doubt one of the greatest games of all time and by far the best Mario Kart in terms of pure racing. Don't judge it off it's appearance, yes it's a bit blocky but the game moves at an incredible speed on 100cc/150cc for a 16-bit game (far faster than the dreadful N64 game). There is more emphasis on the racing and no blue shell so the game relies on your driving skills and the more tactical use of weapons.

Oh how you'll hate the Princess and her special mushrooms!

@21 Mr.64

If you shrink your Racer in Super Mario Kart and want to be bigger without resetting the game then Princess Toadstool and Toad's Poison Mushrooms will make you bigger instead of making you smaller.

Such a great game My only complaint would be it's perhaps a little too unforgiving if you make mistakes. Otherwise it's the best racing game ever made in my opinion.

Needs to come to NA, & not until the next 50th, or 100th release, either!

it will probably be the 250th release or something:(

@gardawg62: don't you mean 350?

I think 1 of N's biggest flubs this gen, is how they are handling the VC. I know they wanna stretch it out, but 1 VC game per week is stupid.

Well this is coming out for freaking Japan on June 9th. The only way we'll get this before Japan is if we get this on June 8th.

still not on VC yet, but maybe we get right after japan gets it
that is next weekend, we'll see
all i hope is that it'll be before 350th VC game if not, THE 350th one

I have to admit i'm a little bit jealous of Japan getting this first but what do you expect? they make the games. But at least we know that SMK is confirmed for America & Europe.

jealous of japan?
you're nuts... but so am i cuz i also am bit of jealous now
japan has it, we get it, i'll wait for it
the character i always used in SMK is Toad
simply cuz Toad and Koopa Troopa are fast and handlings are easiest IMO

I too agree I'm jealous of Japan... actually MAD at them though!
This is in fact the second good game they got; other than SSB64!
Somehow I bet we'll get both for June & July of 2009 though... that's what I'm hoping for anyway!

The only reason I was able to get gold in all the races was because this was one of only three games I had for 6 or 7 years. Lets hope my skills from Mario Kart Wii transfer over, otherwise it will be a while before I can master this one again.

@12. KeeperBvK I agree.
When I heard about the VC for the first time all those years ago, the first game I taught about was super mario kart. Now 3 years later its still not released. I had given up hope but now it looks like we might get it soon.
Nintendo Please release this game in europe and america sooner rather than later.

This is my Second Most Wanted VC game. I hope it comes Very Soon.

Shoot if USA and Europe get SMK in June then i will get SMK and skip SSB for i long while since i no longer own Super Mario Kart i want to have it again.

The daddy of all Mario Karts - none of the others come close. Most looked forward to VC release ever

this would be my 1st place of wanted list if:
1. robotrek wont come to VC
2. hanabi wont come for long time
and i think nr 2 is sure
so, its my most wanted for now

Best racing game ever made. So many great memories playing this in my pre-teen years. Can't wait for it to come out on the VC.

I hope that this game comes out sometime this Summer along with SSB64!

My original for SNES doesn't work as well anymore... I would love it if this was on Virtual Console. Gotta respect the classics.

Hey, this game might come out soon for VC after all! It came out June 9 for Japan!

I hope this comes out in U.K this fri, but I can't see it happening this soon...

Absolute classic with the music and all,will absolutely buy this when it comes out.
Absolute classic!!

Oh my God...the Mario Kart series of games has to be one of the best franchises ever. IMO, Mario Kart Wii is the best and 64 is a close second but I used to have this on the SNES before it broke and it was one of my favorite games and since I've just had it on an emulator. But now that its on a real platform I'm so excited. I can't use my laptop keys anymore. I want to use a controller. The minute this comes out I'm downloading it!

And BTW, the music on this one is the greatest over each Mario Kart game with the exception of 64.

Wow I've never played this on the snes. I'll have to get this game when it comes out.

Definitely the most difficult, and the most thrilling, Mario Kart ever ! Don't expect the bonuses to compensate for you lack of talent in this game. A must-buy when it comes out on the virtual console catalogue !!

this is an great racing game. I encorage everyone with a with a wii to download this as soon as it comes on

This really has to come to Europe & America! Come on Nintendo!

This os the only mario kart i havent played. Thank you nintendo!

Before Christmas would be nice

@51: Hmm....

I hope this comes out by Christmas 2009

It is a classic game that everyone has to try

This is seriously the best mario kart game

I agree with carson. Come on Nintendo this has to come out by Christmas 2009.
Please release next week for Europe and America

if it comes near xmas, it should come to both europe and america, so first in europe at friday, then next monday to NA, would be fair and more people can be happy that way

this game has the best game music in the history of the planet

Too bad I already own this game. I expect this to come out for Christmas or as game #350.

Please let it come out by Christmas this year.

@Mario 34: Your prayer is answered. It's coming out this Monday.

It would be if it were coming out in Australia. But hopefully it should come out here on Friday as well. Thanks for the news Super Smash Bros Fan 1999. Please Nintendo Release this in Australia and Europe this Friday PLEASEEE

Maybe they didn't release anything on Friday for Europe Or Australia Because if this came out on Friday it would be the 300 for Australia, 320 for Europe. Since NA is geting it on Monday it will be the 330 release.

DS my fav
Then 64
Then Wii
This is the last one I need to complete the collection

P.S Super Circuit Rocked
