11 KB Super Mario Kart

8:00AM June 9, 2008 | Owen Good

Got this far and realised we’ve had no hot flashes this weekend. So here’s a super-slimmed down Super Mario Kart, done in 11 KB of pure javascript goodness. Pick from Mario, Luigi or Peach and then race on two different maps. It even has a soundtrack.

You’ll be beaten off the line easily every time, but if you race the second map and take advantage of the turns, you can get into first pretty quickly.

There’s no timer or lap count and your opponents seem to float in the air until you overtake them. Still, I killed a few minutes with this while going off on a reverie, wondering if I’ll be 55 and playing a slimmed down javascript Assassin’s Creed or something.
