Mario Kart 64: 8 years later, the race for 32 records is over

If Mario Kart belongs to the arcade category of the racing game, it adapts just as much to the general public as to the most determined players. Since the birth of the license with Super Mario Kart on SNES in 1993, players have been fighting body and karts to appropriate the record times of each race. And concerning Mario Kart 64, the second opus of the franchise (1996 in Japan), only one man holds 32 time trial records.
