Kart Fighter is a bootleg versus fighting video game released for the Nintendo Family Computer game console, utilizing the characters from Super Mario Kart. Some background sprites are based on the NES game Little Nemo: The Dream Master and the SNES game Mario & Wario. The title screen music and character select music, are those of the respective title screen music and character select music from the SNES Super Mario Kart.
The cartridge is hard to find, while the ROM can be downloaded from various websites on the Internet. There is no game over screen (although there are buried 'Game Over' graphics inside the ROM). Beating the game or losing the game (and not continuing within nine seconds) displays the high score screen. After beating the game on the highest difficulty, the player also sees 'The End' cutscene.
Kart Fighter's fighting engine is used in some other games such as "Turbo Mortal Kombat II/III", "AV Mei Shao Nv Zhan Shi", and "Yuu Yuu Hakusho Final (NES)".

[edit] Characters
The selectable characters in Kart Fighter are: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yossy (Yoshi), Koopa (Bowser), Donkey (Donkey Kong Jr.), Nokonoko (Koopa Troopa), and Kinopio (Toad).
[edit] Origins
The game is believed to have originated from Gouder Co. (which produced the NES game Street Fighter IV and Master Fighter VI), although some sources point to the makers as "Family". The uncertainty is due to a lack of copyrights, Easter eggs, or any other information within the game. The game shares a Huang-1 chip with Somari, AV Mei Shao Nv Zhan Shi (also known as AV Bishoujo Girl Fighting), Samurai Spirits (by Rex Soft) and Garou Densetsu Special (Family Computer port of Fatal Fury 2); [1] Street Fighter IV, made by Gouder Co., contains a modified version of the Huang-1 chip.
