Enjoy this fun, captivating kart racing experience with Mario Kart Super Circuit for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. In this game, you can enjoy up to 40 different tracks — the largest number of tracks ever featured in any of the Mario Kart games until the release of Mario Kart 8. Fasten your seat belts and start your engines as you race on any of the courses you want, from Shy Guy Beach to Rainbow Road. Choose from one of eight famous Mario characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Bowser, each of which handles and plays in a different manner. You can also play Mario Kart Super Circuit on the Nintendo DS, which is backwards compatible with GBA games. The main feature of Mario Kart Super Circuit is the grand prix mode. One or two players race against computer opponents across five different cups, containing four tracks each, and attempt to place in the top three. Once you meet certain conditions, you can also unlock an additional sixth cup that contains all the courses from the original Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo, doubling the number of courses available. Choose between three difficulty levels, each corresponding to the size of the kart's engine and therefore the speed of the race: 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc.Super Circuit also features four other game modes: a time trial mode, for practicing on your own and competing against your best times; a single player quick run mode, in which players can customize their own rules; a multiplayer race mode against two to four other players; and a battle mode, in which up to four human players attempt to defeat each other with items scattered throughout the battle arena. Using the GBA link cable or wireless adapter, you can connect with up to three friends and enjoy multiplayer together. Best of all, Super Circuit requires only a single game pak for all your friends to play.Just as in any Mario Kart game, Super Circuit features 14 different items that you can unleash on your adversaries. The red shell will home in on the driver in front of you, while the star powerup grants you temporary invincibility. Throw the lightning bolt item to shrink the other drivers down so you can squish them beneath your tires. With so many different items, you can easily create chaos on the driving course or battlefield.Mario Kart Super Circuit, created in 2001 by Nintendo developer Intelligent Systems, is a fun nostalgia trip, whether you're a new gamer who wants to experience it for the first time or a veteran who owned a GBA and wants to relive a classic racing game. Super Circuit is also notable for being the last of the Mario Kart games to feature 2D graphics. So max out your speed by grabbing coins and blast your rivals with weapons you pick up along the way.
