Super Mario Kart é um jogo maluco de corrida estrelando Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, e muitos outros personagens do universo Mario. Esse clássico foi o começo da série Mario Kart que mais ou menos começou com toda a moda de "corridas de mascote".
Sub-Pages#
Modo de Debug#
Um número de comandos de Debug podem ser acessados com o código de Pro Action Replay 7E1F06??, onde "??" é substituído por:
- 04 - Apertando L põe você na última volta
- 08 - O jogo trava no início da corrida
- 10 - Debug de itens. Apertando certos botões permite você que você um item instantaneamente.
- L - Casco verde
- R - Casco vermelho
- A - Cogumelo
- X - Estrela
- Y - Pena
- Select - Banana
- Y + Up - Raio
- Y + Down - Fantasma
- 40 - A corrida começa instantaneamente
- 80 - Medidor de uso da CPU
Mais de um comando de Debug pode ser usado ao mesmo tempo adicionando os bytes acima juntos (por exemplo, entrando com 14 no lugar de "??" irá ativar tanto apertar o botão L para pular para a última volta quanto o depurador de itens).
Diferenças regionais#
Na versão japonesa, as animações de vitória de Bowser e Toadstool os mostram bebendo champanhe. As políticas da Nintendo of America naquele tempo não permitiam demonstrações de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas em jogos, então as animações tiveram de ser mudadas adequadamente. Estas mudanças foram mantidas no lançamento europeu.
Mario Circuit Unused Block#
This block can be found in the tileset from the Mario Circuit courses. It acts like road and not like a normal block if placed on a course with an editor.
Rainbow Road Unused Coin#
An alternate version of the coin from Rainbow Road, which act as road and not like a normal coin.
It can also be found in the source files, where it was in place of the coin graphic in early tilesets.
Interestingly, this is found at the beginning of the tileset among the main track's graphics, while the objects such as item fields, jump bars and the normal coin itself are always at the end of the tileset, so it may be something different and part of the main track (maybe a star decoration?). Or it was just kept there by mistake.
It also has some shining on it, unlike the used coin.
Choco Island Unused Tiles#
A different looking dirt tile. Unlike the other used dirt tiles, this acts like the snow from Vanilla Lake; it has a different sound and doesn't makes you too slow when driving over it.
An unused piece of a bumper. This tile was meant to extend the diagonal bumper that runs from top right to bottom left, but only a short version of it was used.
It was used in the April prototype for both Choco Island 2 and the scrapped Choco Island 3 track.
Donut Plains Unused Corner Tiles#
Unused corner tiles meant for the edge of the grass. Only the tile with the corner being on the down right was used.
Ghost Valley Unused Plank Pieces#
Unused edge pieces meant for the diagonal planks.
These were used in the April prototype in Ghost Valley 1.
Vanilla Lake Unused Tiles#
A road tile with a single pixel, a narrow piece of the lake and a duplicate of the water tile that doesn't animate when placed on the track.
Unused Tile Features#
Loaded within every track theme are the graphics for Item Fields, Coins, Zippers, but also the Oil Slick can be found there. They use their own unique palette, which is different for each track theme, to fit the tracks.
Oil Slick#
The Oil Slick is loaded within every track theme, however it is only used in Mario Circuit tracks. Its palette is altered for each track theme to fit the tracks (except Rainbow Road).
There is also some extra detail around the Oil Slick, which looks like dirt, meant to fit Donut Plains or Choco Island. This can not be seen in the Mario Circuit theme, because the dirt uses the same colour as the road.
Tilesets are in this order: Donut Plains, Ghost Valley, Bowser's Castle, Choco Island, Koopa Beach, Vanilla Lake and Rainbow Road.
The Choco Island oil slick can be seen in the April prototype where it's placed in Choco Islands 2 and 3.
Zipper#
Just like the Oil Slick, the Zipper has a unique palette to fit every track theme. However, some tracks don't use Zippers at all, so its palette's colour goes unused.
Tilesets are in this order: Donut Plains, Choco Island, Koopa Beach, Vanilla Lake and Rainbow Road.
The Koopa Beach zipper can be seen in the April prototype where one is placed in both Koopa Beach tracks.
Unused Object#
Objects consist of a set of tiles, which are placed on the track and are not visible in Time Trials. Item Fields, Oil Slicks, and Coins are an example.
However, there is an unused object consisting of the 4 colored blocks. This was used in the May and June prototypes, to block the middle lane path in Bowser Castle 3.
According to the debug menus used in various protoypes, this object is called "KABE" which means "WALL" in japanese.
More Unused Graphics#
Unused Treetop#
A smaller treetop, meant for Mario Circuit's background.
Exclamation Mark#
|
Unused |
Used |
|---|---|
|
|
An alternate version of the big Exclamation Mark, which has actually more detail than the used one. This was used in the Japanese version in the Match Race and Battle Mode results screen, but goes unused in the international versions.
Unused Font#
Found among the graphics for the Item Storage and the Race Time numbers.
This was used for many debugging purposes and such while the game was still in development.
Unused Track Colors#
Koopa Beach#
The first palette of Koopa Beach features 12 unused colors, only 4 colors are used by one sand tile and the deep water tile. It seems to be an early copy of the mainly used second palette and overides the animated waterwave colors with these ones when used. This was possibly used by the track designers to place the animated tiles correctly.
Used |
Unused |
|---|---|
 |
 |
It also contains early colors for the bushes.
Ghost Valley#
Used |
Unused |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The second palette features many unused colors including duplicates and brighter colors for the wood planks and the frail blocks. Only the starting line uses two colors of this palette.
Estrada Arco-Íris#
Used |
Mockups with unused colors added. |
|---|---|
 |
 |
A Estrada Arco-Íris tem várias cores não utilizadas para os ladrilhos coloridos. Cada tile usa apenas 2 cores, mas existem 3 cores disponíveis para cada um.
Unused Background Palettes#
The backgrounds have 2 reserved palette rows, one for the foreground and one for the back layer. Each row has four palette sets consisting of four colors (with one being the transparent color) for the background graphics. However, there are some backgrounds, that don't use all palette sets, making them unused.

There exist blue and orange palettes alongside the used bright and dark purple colors for the Boos, possibly once used as extra colors for the scrapped Hitodama background.
Bowser's Castle#

Only one palette was used. Note that the fourth palette uses red colors, maybe for a scrapped lava animation?
Choco Island#

Only one palette was used for the tasty choco mountains.
Vanilla Lake#
Used |
Unused |
|---|---|
 |
 |
A slightly darker palette, which could have given some mountains more contrast. The third and fourth palette are the same as the unused Mario Circuit palette (most likely leftovers).
Koopa Beach#
Used |
Unused |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Same as above, it could have given some clouds a more greyish color.
Hidden Background Parts#
|
|
To do: |
The background layers are made of tilemaps with an height of 32 pixels, but in game they are only visible in 21 pixels of height, so the highest piece of the backgrounds are never seen. Some have only an empty tile at the unseen space, some have hidden detail there like full gradients and unseen clouds.
Here are some background layers with their full size.

Donut Plains#
Ghost Valley#
Bowser's Castle#
Choco Island#
Unused Track Tile Types#
|
|
To do: |
Each track tile has an ID that determines how the tile will act (Road, Block, Lava, etc.). Besides some unused duplicates, some new and some unused variants can be found as well:
ID |
Description |
|---|---|
04 |
Road, but you sink one pixel when driving on it. |
2E |
Same as 04, but it stops your drift and items "die" when it comes in contact with it. |
32 |
A strange deep water tile. Once you sink in it, you will jump out immediately, which leads to a permanent in and out jumping. |
2A, 3A |
Jumpbar variant, items "die" when it comes in contact with it. |
2C, 3C |
Choco Island bumper variant, items "die" when it comes in contact with it. |
88 |
Variant of the destroyable ice and falling frail blocks, but this makes the normal wall crash sound when touched. |
Oddities#
Bowser's Castle 2 Checkpoint Zone Oddity#
In Bowser's Castle 2, the Checkpoint/AI data shows a zone at the middle-right side of the track that extrudes into the lava that is all that remains of a horizontal STOP seen in earlier iterations of the track.
Object Zone Oddity#
The track's hazards like pipes, Monty Moles and more, are divided into groups, each with a zone. When entering a zone, its object group becomes visible. However, Mario Circuit 1 and Choco Island 1 have 3 zones, even though they only use 2 object groups. The game is programmed that when being in a zone with no objects, it will automatically display the objects from the next zone.
Object Zones as shown in track editor Epic Edit:

Choco Island Finish Line#
The finish lines seen in the Choco Island tracks are made of 2 tiles, despite both tiles having the same graphics (the second tile was given a blue color here to show the layout). This might suggests that the finish line was supposed to be more detailed like the starting brackets.
Bowser Castle Finish Line#
Although it is barely noticeable, the finish line seen in the Bowser Castle tracks has some gray pixels on it. These pixels are in fact the first bits of the Titlescreen music which was housed in Bowser Castle's track graphics.
Choco Island Tile Animation Routine#
Choco Island has its own tile animation routine although there's no data for animated tiles. This is a leftover when the choco mud was planned to move.
Regional Differences#
Quite a bit was changed between the Japanese and international version, mostly related to censorship and minor touch-ups.
Title Screen#
|
Japão |
Internacional |
|---|---|
|
|
Na versão japonesa, os gráficos da tela título têm uma pequena letra "O", e as letras sobrepõem umas as outras substancialmente mais do que na versão internacional. A escrita na tela título japonesa é muito semelhante a de Super Mario Bros. 3, enquanto a versão internacional é voltada para um visual um pouco mais refinado. Além disso, o "TM" está em uma posição diferente.

O fundo usado na tela título da versão japonesa tem o que parece ser um Ai-Ai Gasa (相合傘; traduzido como compartilhar um guarda-chuva) dizendo "Mario" e "Peach", e "Mario Kart" escrito em japonês. Estes foram removidos na versão internacional, e o cogumelo foi movido para preencher um pouco do espaço de sobra resultante.

Censored Victory Animations#
In the Japanese version, Bowser's and Princess Peach's victory animations depict them drinking champagne. Nintendo of America's policies at the time did not allow depictions of drinking in games, so the animations had to be changed accordingly. These changes were kept for the European release.

Na versão japonesa, Toadstool graciosamente sorve sua champanhe, apesar do detalhe de seu rosto diz que ela pode já estar bêbeda. Nas versões internacionais, ela arremessa a champanhe no ar.

Donkey Kong Jr.#
|
International |
Europe |
|---|---|
|
|
While Donkey Kong Jr. juggles his champagne beads wildly in the international versions, he only swings them up and down in the European version. Perhaps to prevent them from shattering on the floor?
Some of the prototypes also feature the European animation.
Yoshi#
|
Japão |
|---|
|
|
Internacional |

Vários dos sprites de Yoshi são um pouco diferentes na versão japonesa, tendo uma cabeça mais fina. Curiosamente, os gráficos de Yoshi usados nas versões internacionais se assemelham mais àqueles do protótipo que não tem dump do que os da versão japonesa, embora esta última tenha sido lançada primeiro.
Interestingly, the Yoshi graphics used in the US version more closely resemble those in the undumped prototype than the European and Japanese versions, though the latter was released first.
2 Player Results Font#
The japanese version uses its own roundy font for the Match Race and Battle Mode results screen, while the international version uses the same font as all the other text in that size. There was also a kanji next to the win/loss totals, that was removed in favor of "W" and "L" column headings.

Some of the roundy font (like the exclamation mark) can still be found in the international versions, unused.

Hidden "Unlock Special Cup" Function#
The Japanese version plays a Boo sound when you unlock the Special Cup using the L, R, L, R, L, L, R, R, A cheat on the Time Trial menu, while the international version doesn't.
Turbo Start#
Probably due to the conversion from 60 to 50 FPS, the turbo start is slightly different between the European and the international version.
In the international version, you have to hold down the accelerator shortly after the first light sounds, while in the European version you have to hold it down shortly before the second light sounds.
Engine Burn#
Your kart burns shorter in the American version than in the other versions, when failing the turbo start at the beginning of the race. However in these versions, the burn can be shortened by letting go of B.
Replay Text#
The Japanese version shows a flashing text while the replay is playing while in the international versions not, which can be seen here. The text, "リプレイ", translates to "Replay."
Ghost Saving#
In the Japanese version the ghost saving button combo is different. After a Time Trial race at the options menu hold L, R, Y and press X to save a ghost in the International versions. In the Japanese version it is required to press A instead of X. It also displays the text "バックアップラムにゴーストをセーブしました" (which translates to "Saved ghost (data) to the backup RAM") in the bottom map while saving; the international versions displays nothing.
The game also ask you if you want to play with the recorded ghost before playing: the text displayed is "バックアップラムから ゴーストをロードしますか?", which translates to: "Do you want to load the ghost (data) from the backup RAM?". In the international versions, you don't get asked; instead, you need to hold either L or R button when starting a race.
Course Names#
Some tracks from the japanese version have slightly different names.

European Version Changes#
The European version fixes a glitch in Match Race and Battle Mode, where the loser could still drive when the race is over.
Mudanças de Virtual Console#
O flash de quando se usa a estrela e o trovão foi suavizado para evitar o risco de convulsões.
