Why did so many good racing games on the SNES get overshadowed by Mario Kart, when it's such a mediocre game?

SMK wasn't directly competing with other racing games, and it wasn't mediocre at all.

I liked this game when I was a kid but it isn't as good as mario kart

Nintendo IP Bonus and Mode 7 propaganda, both are also true for F-Zero.

Gimme Top Gear and Rock 'n' Roll Racing any day of the week.

For being "mode 7 propaganda" F-Zero is a fantastic game and the only racing game I have ever enjoyed and enjoy going back to play.

Because the SNES couldn't into things moving fast so speed games had to resort to gimmicks.

BMFM is a great game, but it has balancing issues.

Vinnie and Modo are definitely OP with their turbo systems, although damn they are fun.

Modo's turbo system is very easy to achieve, and he can kill anyone trying to overtake him with it...

Vinnie's turbo is a lot harder to master, but once you do, it's actually a lot faster than Modo's.

All the other chars suck.

Great game though
