In Super Mario Kart, you can pick a total of 8 characters. On the other hand, you can also pick your engine speed, ranging from 50cc to 150cc, with the difficulty increasing as the engine speed increases.

Super Mario Kart Tips​ Avoid Drifting Super Mario Kart is quite different when it comes to drifting. If you have a longer turn, instead of drifting, you should just hop, since that way, you’ll be moving from the curve much faster and safely. This is because if you drift for a long time, you’ll just spin, breaking the drifting momentum. Get Extra Lives In order to get extra lives, you’ll have to win three races in a row. Starting Boost Starting the race with a turbo will make you surpass all the other racers in the game. You’ll have to hold B right when Lakitu’s first light flashes.
