The Mario Kart series is a magical franchise. In the decades since its inception, it has strengthened as many friendships as it has shattered. Despite being a development studio whose audience is primarily children, Nintendo sure has a knack for making the most frustratingly competitive games. Heck, the only games that top Mario Kart in terms of injecting tension into friendships are Super Smash Brothers and Mario Party.
