Kirby, with his mouth open; wonder what powers he'll get. This isn't out of hate; it's more about wondering what would happen if those were real Kirbys.

Super Mario Kart probably isn't the best game in the series. I remember loving multiplayer Mario Kart 64 battles when I would rent it or play at a friend's house. Double Dash was a pretty good Christmas memory for me and the only kart game I own. Mario Kart 8 is solid from what I've played of it, minus the battle system, and looks quite pretty.
But Super Mario Kart might actually be my favorite, due to personal experience. I loved the Mode 7 graphics at the time, and it's the only game in the franchise that really "wowed" me when I played it, in large part due to my age. I was 2 when it released, and likely played it via rentals around 4 or 5. I can't remember if my older brother rented it, or I was allowed to pick games out for his system to keep our parents happy, but I still love the core game that set the groundwork for everything that came after. It's definitely an early gaming memory that for some reason reminds me of summer?
I think I'd like the series more if I played multiplayer more often, but I've always played more single player.
Julian, I think there are a handful of audio issues toward the end.
