Super Mario Kart received positive reviews and was praised for its presentation, innovation and use of Mode 7 graphics. In a third multiplayer mode – Battle Mode – the aim is to defeat the other players by attacking them with power-ups, destroying balloons which surround each kart. In multiplayer mode two players can simultaneously take part in the cups or can race against each other one-on-one in Match Race mode. Alternatively players can race against the clock in a Time Trial mode. During the races, offensive and speed boosting power-ups can be used to gain an advantage. In single player mode players can race against computer-controlled characters in 4 multi-race cups consisting of 20 tracks (5 in each cup) over three difficulty levels (50cc, 100cc and 150cc). In Super Mario Kart, the player takes control of one of eight Mario series characters, each with differing capabilities.
