It may seem weird to call one of the best-selling franchises of all time underrated, but I feel like Mario Kart is more than worthy of all its success. Personally, I love Mario Kart as a series, and actually think it’s somewhat underrated. One could even argue that every single Nintendo platform since the SNES has been defined by its Mario Kart entry: Mario Kart DS is perfect for portable play Double Dash is just as wacky and creatively “out there” as anything on the GameCube and Mario Kart Wii has optional motion controls that most people hate. Though it lacks some of the cultural cache (at least within extremely online circles of game enthusiasts) found in other major Nintendo franchises such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, Mario Kart consistently dominates sales charts and likely has the farthest reach of anything Nintendo has done outside of Pokémon. Think about it: Basically every single person you know is at least familiar with the series, and whether they are the most hardcore or the filthiest of casuals, they’ve probably played (and enjoyed) a Mario Kart game.
If there’s one universal truth about video game players of all stripes, it’s that they generally like (or potentially LOVE) Mario Kart.
