    F-Zero was more WOW but Mario Kart had staying power.

    As a kid f-zero would be put on to mix it up after we’d played hours of Mario kart

    Mario Kart simply for the entertainment the split screen mode brings.

    Not to take anything away from F-Zero. The sense of speed was amazing for a console game. I dare say no console racing game at the time provided the thrills it did.

    I’d personally vote MK, especially on SNES, but agree with everyone else - they’re very different types of racing games.

    Today I’d rather play F-Zero because its controls are more responsive, but there’s more to do in Super Mario Kart.

    F-Zero, despite the outdated hardware I still find it fun. Controls aren’t bad and I like most tracks. Super Mario Kart on the other hand feels outdated in terms of controls and track design.

      F-Zero GX is still one of my favorite racing games. The cross-progression with the arcade version, F-Zero AX, was also really cool, though it was nearly impossible trying to find one of those machines. I found one in Vegas a long time ago and it was a blast. Probably not worth the $5 per credit, though, but still very fun.

      I really wish Nintendo would revisit the series again. Or at the very least, let another studio make one. It’s been too long.

        Nintendo: We won’t make a new game, until there’s new innovation, and new avenues of creativity to explore.

        Also Nintendo: It’s Mario Party 15, ya’ll!!!

          Who do they think they are, Valve?

          (And to be clear, it isn’t okay for Valve to have that attitude, either. I want my Half-Life story conclusion, damn it!)

    Both. They may be both racer but that’s the only similarity.

    I really wish for a successor to F-Zero GX/AX. Perhaps on the Switch 2?

    It just depends on which type of racing game you are in the mood for. Mario Kart is well, Mario Kart. F-Zero always felt more like the older, arcade style racer in the vein of Out Run.
