#40 Mario Kart Super Circuit
I never thought I would see this game on my top 50 games ever. But because of this years theme the black sheep of Mario Karts finds its way this high up for one simple reason. I was f**king good at it. Had several top 10 times (unofficial sadly since I never bothered to send anything in) and the second best time on rainbow road back when 2000 had just started. Today I probably cannot master up a top 1000 time.
Way more technical than most other Mario Karts. Almost as difficult to drive as the original Mario Kart which it most resembles. Today I enjoy almost all other Mario Karts more since they are more laid back fun. But the GBA release just needs to be mentioned for being the only time that I felt I was not just good at a game in my local community, but actually great even on an international level. A true first. And a very true last.
