UK trade publication MCV has conducted a survey to find out who exactly who plays Mario Kart. The results are interesting as out of the 6,835 people surveyed 56 per cent of players are male, and 44 per cent are female. Here’s a few of the reasons why people play Mario Kart:
“It makes me laugh or feel happy”
“I can play it for short periods of time”.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who seriously thinks it’s a good idea to put the word “first” into their post in the event that it is,
does not deserve the accolade.
Putting first in a comment is both sad and pointless so I agree with you.
I see what you did thar
Mario Kart was my first game on GBA. It’s still my favourite now.
UAH! He put “first” into his comment!
DON´T USE THE F WORD
It’s fun, frustrating and a great party game for you and your friends. It’s something guys and play with their girlfriends or girls can play with their boyfriends. It’s easy to understand, especially since the Wii version came out with FOUR ways of controlling the game. The online multiplayer is pretty good too, especially for a Wii Game, but hopefully the WIiU and 3DS versions will have even better with a potential ability to download new DLC tracks, just so long as Nintendo don’t skimp out on the content, which they never have done.
haha your comment was longer than the entire rest of the article!
Nintendo already pointed out they won’t do paid dlc. Only third parties will. It would be if they did and it was free instead.
I can expect Nintendo to do it for free.
No you weren’t, idiot.
I play Mario Kart because it’s fun,not because it’s funny or I can play it for a short period of time.
I love playing Mario Kart, I’ve played all games from Mario Kart 64 onwards and love them all, double dash was brilliant but I think I prefer Wii mainly for the tracks and characters.
I’ve been playing Mario Kart since n64 and my dad was the one who bought me the game randomly which goes to show how popular it is. It’s a fun, competitive, social game.
I love playing Mario Kart. The online is really solid.
i love mario kart because there,s a lot of depth in the gameplay mechanics, and it’s simple enough for anyone new to the serie to pick up and play.
We play the junk out of it! We love it. My wife is a lot better at it than I am. We are in our mid 30’s. I wish there were more characters (we have them all unlocked) and vehicles, AND circuits that were available to be downloaded to expand the game.
Lucky for you guys, they’re pretty likely to create more stages for download in the Wii U and 3DS versions
I love Mario Kart! I play Wii all the time and double dash now and then. The new one kinda looks a little dumb but we’ll see!
So, this is the most useless article in the world…
I borrowed Mario Kart Wii from my sister’s friend, and beat it in 5 Days :D
My guess is a lot of the people who play Mario Kart are a lot of the same people who play either A. Mario games or B. fun online games
I started to play Mario Kart since the first one and I’m still playing them caues they are one of the best games ever !
I play it because its fun and the on-line mode its the best
“It makes me laugh or feel happy.” WTF! That statement made me laugh and feel sad.
…anyways, I play it hardcore – been doing so since the original. I’m very competitive on it. And the Blue Shell is the devil.
I bet it was a 2 year old who said that “It makes me laugh or feel happy” part.I certainly doubt it was a grown man.I’m not saying only 2 year olds play Mario Kart because it’s not just them,Mario Kart is for all ages.I play Mario Kart and I’m 15.
I like Mario Kart because I tried playing a friend’s Need for Speed game on the PS3 and felt like the car was fighting me the whole race but he can race circles around even the toughest AI. He said you have to develop a knack for it. Screw that, I pick up any Nintendo controller on any Mario Kart and I can control any kart just fine but there’s still a great deal of strategy to learn from the tracks, drivers, specific vehicles, and the best use of a particular item at certain times.
Me, it’s fun playing it.

Mario Kart is awesome. I own Mario Kart 64, Double Dash. and Mario Kart DS. I used to own Mario Kart Wii, but I sold it, and now I am getting Snes and Super Mario Kart next month, Mario Kart Super Circuit through the Ambassador Program, and Mario Kart 7 when it comes out.
Mario Kart is only game that is guaranteed playable by any person. All of my non-video game playing girlfriends enjoyed playing Mario Kart. I think it’s because it’s immediately recognizable and understandable. It’s driving cars. This is the reason the Wii was so popular with non-gamers, it brought real life games to the console world.
I’ve loved Mario Kart since version 1, I still remember when my cousin came to visit and we drove to Toys “Я” Us just to look around, and saw this Mario racing game…
Well, have any of you played Mario Kart and not laughed or felt happy while playing?
Mario Kart 64 was the best and currently is the best
i play it. have several mates that do too. 3 being girls. funny, its the same %
mario kart is a good game to just chill out relax and have fun playing if i still had my 64 id occassionally pick it up and play every now and then.
I remember the first time I played Mario Kart… t’was on the 64…. Then I played it on gba and Gamecube… Never had any chance to play it on DS or Wii though… -_-
You should when you get the chance. It is rally fun on wi-fi. also, Wii is really easy with the gamecube controller.
Those are valid points.
They didn’t add my answer
I said I play Mario Kart…BECAUSE IT MAKES ME A MAN!!!
I thought the whole point of gaming was for escapism. ‘sif you’d short period of time 0.o
