Mario Kart Arcade GP is an arcade game based on the Mario Kart series. It runs on one of Nintendo's Triforce arcade machines.

Gameplay

Like most arcade racers, the game is controlled with a wheel controller and has an attached seat. The game has 24 different courses, divided into six cups. The playable characters include the main eight Mario Kart racers from Mario Kart 64, and three characters from Namco's Pac-Man series - Pac-Man, Ms. Pac Man and Blinky. The game also utilizes rewritable memory cards and a special Nam Cam which will take a picture of the player's face for use in representing the player's character in the game.

Legacy

The next game in the Mario Kart series was Mario Kart DS. However, Mario Kart Arcade GP will be receiving a direct sequel in the form of Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.
