Super Mario Kart's use of a wider cast of characters such as Bowser and Peach was the first of many multiplayer-oriented Super Mario spin-off titles that included a diverse, playable cast of Super Mario characters such as those from the Mario Tennis and Mario Party series. Examples of these kinds of elements include a level designed after Super Mario Kart's courses appearing in Super Mario 3D World, item-based battles in multiple Mario sports games, Rainbow Road making an appearance in Paper Mario: Color Splash and an entire scene dedicated to Mario Kart in The Super Mario Bros. The game's success has also influenced the greater Super Mario franchise, with elements from it appearing throughout it. The game's success spawned the hugely influential Mario Kart series, while also helping to pioneer the kart-racing genre. This includes sprites reusing assets from Super Mario World as well as the game's soundtrack rearranging several Super Mario World melodies. Much of this game is heavily based on Super Mario World with both graphics and general themes being taken from this game. Another notable aspect of the game is its Mode 7 graphics, where the game simulates a 3D plane by rotating and scaling a background graphic on a scanline-by-scanline basis, allowing players to simulate driving in a 3D environment. The development of a one-on-one Battle Mode was invented as another way to enjoy the competitive aspects of the game. Unlike the other racing games at the time, which focused on single-player racing with more complicated tracks, Super Mario Kart was focused on two players and was designed to be an easy and intuitive 'pick up and play' experience that heavily involves the use of acquiring weapons on an obstacle course-like track to impede another player's progress. Super Mario Kart is a racing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which was first released in 1992 and re-released in 1996 as a Player's Choice title, being the first title in the line up.
