Remember The Game #155 - Super Mario Kart (Part II)

This week, it's another one of our 're-visited' series, where we take another look at one of the heavyweight titles we covered back in the show's early days.    And this time, it's all about one of the most influential titles ever made. It launched a franchise, a genre, and convinced Nintendo they could stick Mario into literally any scenario they could think of and it would make money; Super Mario Kart!   By popular demand, my buddy Kait makes her long awaited return to the Blankphone this week, and we spent almost an hour gushing about the first time Mario and Bowser rounded up their crews and destroyed a bunch of Lakitu's go-karts.   And before we talk about that, it's another edition of the 'Remember The Game Infamous Intro'!    This time around, I get called out for cheering for Canada in the Euro last week. A listener is looking for help getting their retro games running on modern TVs. And someone writes in in defence of Ubisoft Plus (after I came down on it a couple weeks ago), and raises some great points.   AND, we have another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', featuring Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Mario Kart 64!   Are you on social media? Of course you are. So follow us! We'll probably follow you back ;)   Twitter: @MemberTheGame Instagram: @MemberTheGame Facebook.com/MemberTheGame Twitch.tv/MemberTheGame Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
