I hooked up my SNES some weeks ago and played Super Mario Kart.
And it's funny how much more challenging that game is.
If you are racing in the back of the field, you really don't get back in front as easily as in later Mario Karts.

The tracks are more challenging too.

I haven't played MK Wii yet.

Super Mario Kart doesn't have online, only has 8 opponents on screen and 2 player multiplayer so of course the difficulty is going to balanced differently. While it is probably easier to get gold on all of Mario Kart Wii's cups than in Super Mario Kart, getting 3 star ratings on Mario Kart Wii is harder.  Furthermore it is very possible to make comebacks from way back in the field (last going into the last lap to first) on every track except the Vanilla Lake ones, it just requires different skills than in Mario Kart Wii.
