i doubt that, Mario Kart is not an arcade racer, its closer to a party game. Burnout Paradise/ Ridge Racer, NFS, Midnigh Club are arcade racers, and Mario Kart is not.

I figured Kyliedog would try to fire back with this before someone else did but here goes.

1 I implore you to show me how Mario Kart does not fit the definition of  arcade racer, 2 I ask you to tell me how it lacks any modes and content you'd find in an arcardey racer (since the series has tracks, cars, and characters to unlock, non realistic driving physics that keeps it from being a sim, and online with leader boards and challenges) and finally 3 Racing Party Game is not a genre, it does not exist...

Thank you  

Ironically, Mario Kart actually HAS an arcade game in its series, something which I don't believe the cited arcade racers do. 

I know right?

Totally not an arcade racer ya know?  It's almost comical
