Robo Mario


It’s no question at this point that Mario Kart earned its place as Mario’s most profitable spinoff series. While it saw plenty of life on both consoles and handhelds, Nintendo felt it worth their time enough to work together with Bandai-Namco and develop a version to be played in arcades. Both Mario and Pac-Man characters would appear as players, and rather than a grand prix, it had a short one-player mode that ended in a race with a strange robotic duplicate of Mario.

This is Robo Mario, who only appears in the Mario Kart arcade games. He will race the player one-on-one, and if they can beat him, they will move on to the final boss.

As a character, Robo Mario will play more or less just like Mario Kart, though not quite a clone. The arcade series came with its own items and logic behind the way they work, so Robo Mario will represent that as a whole, his moves pulling from those items and other features of the arcade series.

Likelihood rating: Probably not
