Mario has starred in his own kart racing series since 1992, and has since continued as a strong venture of the ''Mario'' franchise. Taking a spin-off of racing games of the past, the ''Mario Kart'' games discard the need for realism and add a party atmosphere in the form of items on the course. Classic ''Mario'' items such as shells and bananas can be used to gain the lead on the player's opponent. Though Mario stars in the series, characters are drawn from various Nintendo games.
