These Super Mario Kart depictions by artist José Emorca Flores add a serious twist to the Nintendo plumber-focused franchise.
Super Mario Kart made its way into the consoles of gamers and Mario enthusiast back in the 90s. It allowed players to play characters in the Super Mario games other than Mario and Luigi. These 1930s-stylized grand prix depictions showcase several popular characters from the game. Luigi, Mario, Toad and Yoshi are featured in style that many fans of the franchise aren't accustomed to. The characters' vehicles have also been revamped to look similar to the cars in the 1930s -- I just wished that Princess Peach had her own vehicle.
The characters are depicted in a violent retro-styled illustrations that a lot of vintage enthusiast will like.
