Mario Kart series

Mario Kart, the famous game, now has a mobile edition that allows family and friends to compete against one another through their smartphones. In addition, when players download the game, they can communicate with one another addition, family her in real-time, or introduce one another as buddies.

Mario Kart is a video game franchise centered on go-kart racing produced and released by Nintendo as a spin-off from the company’s flagship Super Mario series. It features Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing franchises participating in races while using different products.
