Mario Kart began with Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo in 1992 and grew into Nintendo's best known kart racing series, famous for items, tight tracks and last lap comebacks. Short epic edits of its music and race sounds spread through gaming videos, memes and soundboards because the style is instantly recognisable. Creators reuse this version to exaggerate everyday races and rivalries, borrowing the game's competitive energy without needing any footage from the game itself, which keeps it useful far beyond gameplay.
