Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Mario Kart: Super Circuit is a 2001 kart racing game for the Game Boy Advance (GBA). It is the third Mario Kart game and retains its predecessors' gameplay: as a Mario franchise character, the player races opponents around tracks based on locales from the Super Mario platform games. Tracks contain obstacles and power-ups that respectively hamper and aid the player's progress. Super Circuit includes various single-player and multiplayer game modes, including a Grand Prix racing mode and a last man standing battle mode.

Where Mario Kart: Super Circuit sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Mario Kart: Super Circuit lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 61ahead of 15% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 50ahead of 88% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
