Well, I dunno how up you are for modding your Switch or if it's already modded. But there's track replacement mods for MK8DX. I just grabbed one that replaced the original 48 tracks with custom tracks and fan-ports from other MK games. It has a couple of the Arcade tracks. And soon, ish, the mod "CTGP Deluxe" is gonna come out for it that adds even more and does way more stuff Or if you don't mind playing an older MK, there's the mod "Mario Kart Wii Deluxe" that legit has around 800+ tracks, including everything from SNES up to Wii, tons of the Arcade tracks, tracks from other kart racers, and a ton of fully custom tracks. Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS also has a version of CTGP.

Mario and Pac-Man are among the earliest gaming icons Of course they look well next to each other

20:49 As an SEA WMMT player myself, the "Banana" Passport [BanaPassport] is used for our save progress in WMMT6RR *WMMT6RR+ later this April* (Japan/SEA only) since the game has a ridiculous 100 chapters in story mode, (Story Mode is required for you to tune up your car to max power) so that card is also necessary for MKGPDX too, if you want to keep your TA records in a certain course. *If it the JP version only.*

DX has a more ambitious Japanese version rather than the version you’ve probably seen at Dave and busters and malls. You can race against player “ghosts” to take over Japan, which also let you save data to a data card

Something to note: Most, if not ALL of the tracks from the arcade games, have been fan-ported to other Mario Kart games via modding. Even over in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on my Switch, I have a mod that replaced all the original 48 tracks with custom tracks and fan ports, and it has a couple tracks from the arcade game, like that Asian themed one, and the Taiko track. Mario Kart Wii has a bunch of mods. "Mario Kart Wii Deluxe" is one of the HUGE ones with legitimately like, 800 tracks. Pretty much every track from Super Mario Kart up to Mario Kart Wii. Along with a bunch of Arcade track ports, ports from other kart racers, and a lot of fully custom tracks. CTGP is another popular mod that exists I think for MKWii, but also Mario Kart 7 on 3DS, and soon for 8 Deluxe on Switch. Mods are amazing for someone like myself who actually missed out on most Nintendo consoles between the N64 and Switch, thus missing a bunch of Mario Kart games. Right now, the mod on my Switch is great, I'm loving playing some of these older tracks it adds. But I can't wait for CTGP. Most mods can't add new tracks without replacing some, but CTGP seems to have been able to mod the actual list, so hopefully it has ALL the tracks.

you forgot CTGP Nitro, i wonder why people always forget that one

Mario and Pac-Man not being out of place together is true and it makes sense because they were both arcade games when they were first created PAC-Man got his own arcade game and Mario was featured in Arcade Donkey Kong. So those two are nostalgic for the series.

I saw this game at one of the Disney Resorts small arcade area. It caught my eye but didn't have a long time to play as I was mostly just getting a drink at the nearby quick food before heading out to the parks. Seeing Pacman as part of the cast was wild.

No, I've played this franchise, was my favorite game to play whenever I went to Chuck.E.Cheese

Oh yes I did play these games. They were something I would always look forward to at my local Dave and Busters alongside Daytona USA and Guitar Hero arcade lol

It's bizarre how this is the only Mario Kart (thus far) to think to include something big related to Wario's adventures. Seriously, a Mario Kart that takes advantage of the "larger" Mario universe would be great.

I loved seeing these, whenever I went to an arcade, I PRAYED that these were there!!!

Aw, I like Mario Kart Tour. Though I never played it I love it cause you get to travel the world and they have some cool titles for the courses. So I love it. ❤💗

I wish GP DX went all out with the Namco guests. Like, PAC-Man and Don-chan are great, but imagine instead of adding characters like Baby Mario and Baby Peach, they added other guests like Dig Dug, Lloyd from Tales, Klonoa, or even someone from Tekken, that’d be hilarious 😂

Title: “you’ve never played” 0:29 “you might’ve even played it”

Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! That game was my very first Mario Kart experience! I still remember that I played it at a resort arcade. I had never played any Mario Kart game prior to that, and that was years before I ended up being able to get my own DSi and a copy of Mario Kart DS. I completely forgot about the camera feature! I do now remember taking a photo of my 10 year old self. (8:20) I'm certain the one I played didnt have the card stuff. Also, I didn't think there was a sequel, as the arcade I played it at had the first one, but your explanation helped me understand that the operators likely didn't think it was worth to get them in or upgrade their existing cabinets.

i have played it only once in my life and it was at disney world, the item button was broken and so i just had to stare at a basin stuck in my item slot while on bowsers castle

The fact that Mario Kart GP DX characters have skins instead of taking up extra slots like in Mario Kart 8 DX is INSANE to me. Why does this have that but not one of the mainline games?!

For the next Mario Kart game, I want Link, Pacman, Sonic, Captain Falcon, and Rob

i do love the music for Arcade GP2 (mostly because those songs are extended from the first Arcade GP); you have Mario Beach/Mario Highway, Rainbow Coaster/Rainbow Downhill and the new addition Yoshi Park, all of which are bangers. The Challenge Mode music is pretty great too.

I played Arcade GP DX once at some Cineplex theatre in a mall, it was neat, wish I got more out of it, possibly come across it again

For someone who takes all of the tokens around the arcade this is my favorite arcade game that I play for hours at my local arcade even in the modern year, I played it this month actualy!

I've actually played it back in 2015, it was really fun game and very underrated. I'ma glad it's available with a emulator

Very informative!! I played the 2nd one in an arcade recently, the controls were kind of busted from age and use, but fun regardless!

0:07 Mario Kart Tour ain’t even bad. LOL. Definitely better since launch.

I am so glad to hear people talk about Arcade games. GPDX is my favorite.

I've got a few of the new versions in the arcade/ entertainment centre I work at! It's pretty darn cool. Underrated fr

growing up i would play these games all the time in arcades, then i grew up and couldn't find them anywhere until i went to this place in Michigan called "dave and busters" and they have these there so i could play them as an adult. it was a blast from the past.

I played the OG MK GP as a kid in my local movie theater. This video gave that nice nostalgic nudge… ah…

It's interesting that I had played all of these mario kart games besides the vr game. Some places still have the 1st and second versions of the arcade games without the cards

I’ve played Mario Kart Wii, DS, 7, 8, and 8 Deluxe. I’ve also played the Mario Kart 4 Arcade system once and I hope the do it again. But I’ve never played the first Mario kart games or Mario Kart 64, Double Dash, GBA, GCN, SNES, or Tour. But I’m hoping that remaster the courses from those games so I can try them out. And I love the Mario karts series today.

My Favorite Mario Kart Series, Thank You!

My local arcade had this one and I loved it. Pac-man, Mamechi? Mainline mario kart could never

"ha loosers didnt make it" got me rolling on the floor 💀

Mario Kart Arcade GP Deluxe is such a huge favorite of mine whenever I go to an arcade or bowling alley!

I played this one time at the Disney's Contemporary before the remodel when the arcade was in the ground floor with the quick service restaurant, now i think its a fancy-pants restaurant called "The Wave" which was extremely mid but I digress. It was broken or something because I couldn't get the items to work. That sucked because it looked like a lot of fun, but it was unplayable since the CPUs just wiped the floor with you and you couldn't do anything.

I'm so glad I watched this video cuz Mario kart DX was absolutely amazing to play, mainly cuz it was first and last time I played this with a friend which was the last time I saw them before I moved to the other side of the U.S., but also cuz this game hits so hard

If you get 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or last, you have to redo the race until you win! It would've been common sense if 2nd and 3rd received partial credit!

I love these man

My local game and geek store has a mini arcade and has one of these mario cart arcades in it. Its a lot of fun

I wish these tracks were added into the Booster Course.

Play these all the time on my my homebrew wii. Such great games, brings me back playing these 10 or so years ago

The "national battle" character icons are from Bandi Namco's Go Vacation series of games (there is only one Go Vacation but they also used the same assets for We Ski & We Fishing

I remember playing the SEQUEL of the arcade version as a kid. Even though I haven't heard of the characters in my naive time, I would main Mametchi! Mario Kart DS would forever be my number one, though. It was the one game that lured me into the entire Mario series as a whole!!

lmao I searched your exact video title to see if someone made a video about these arcade games, and I'm glad you did.

I've been to a mall that has kiosk games. Never went in because going to the mall is something I rarely do. Public areas are getting crazier

MKAGPDX is one of those games that I’m ALWAYS seeing at every Dave and Busters and Kings Bowl that I visit. It’s such a great game to play, and a great entry point into Mario Kart.

I rerembered playing this when I was 4 or 5 and it was so much fun! Even though I was bad, I have some fond memories of playing it with my sibling in a mall but I dont know where

5:16 damn look at how Yoshi swings that saber.

They had one of these at the chuck e cheese where i lived as a kid. Pretty fun :)

Fun fact! If you have a Nintendo Wii with Custom Firmware and the application Nintendont to run GameCube games off storage, it is quite possible to play Mario Kart Arcade GP on your system! And the same goes for F-Zero AX, too! Legally acquiring the dumps is up to you, but they are out there.

I want to play Mario Kart arcade gp Dx so bad but just don't know how to go by doing it, it looks like such a splendid game

To be honest this is the first mario kart game I've ever played. I've never had a Nintendo console and never played a mario kart game. However when I was younger I used to go to a bowling/arcade room that had mario kart.

The DX outside Japan really makes me think twice before even touching it with friends. Those features ported over from Japan would easily break my bank like when I used to play GP1 and GP2. Many good memories. I once collected Mario card designs as well.

Oh yeah, I've actually encountered and played one or both of the first two machine a couple of times in the past as a kid. (Not sure which one exactly) Even went against other players. Didn't mess with the cards though. Sometimes I forgot this exists but I had no idea there was a more modern version.

Just to be able to play Mario Kart on a arcade cabinet with a racing wheel makes it worth it. It's a shame the arcade scene outside of Japan is so poor.

It would be cool to have the best tracks from the game added to 8 as DLC though. Or just, releasing the games in a collection.

I actually played GP before. I did in an arcade on a cruise. By December it will be 10 years since then.

I had decent knowledge of the first one, and I've even played it a couple times, but I had no idea about the others.

8:18 Ah yes, the modern arcade Save Card. Gauntlet Legends' password system was revolutionary (even if it was carried over from the NES port of the first game) but it never did quite catch on like the IC cards.

9:18 The home console versions do have it to where you can play the track backwards. Its called mirror mode. Its been in the game since the 64.

I work at an arcade, and yeah it suck that the western GPDX machines don't have what the Japan cabinets do. It's literally just one race, and then bam more credits. Regardless if you win or not.

I played GP 2 a couple times in an arcade, the machine was usually malfunctioning though. Now I play it on my Wii with homebrew. The announcer Justin Berti had actually played GP 1 with his family several times, according to an interview, so that's cool. I wonder if anybody finished it 100% in the arcades. Assuming the operator was super generous and set it to 25 cents per play, it would still take $48 minimum to complete every cup in every mode. And that's not even counting the Staff Ghosts in Time Trials, which would add another $8 minimum, probably more because the ghosts are very tough.

I’ve actually played 2 of these Mario kart games and they are very underrated. I’ll might put it on my wii or it should get rereleased on consoles.

It's amazing how to play and drive the Mario Kart games.

This is a great game. Loved playing it in arcades. Also why the hate on tour? It’s probably my fav game in the series just due to being able to always pickup and play plus the amount of courses is insane. I also really like the point system instead of just win races. I’ve played every mk at launch and outside of 64, got boring after awhile once you do everything outside of a random night with friends. Your at least changes the track lineup every two weeks. Feel like shitting on the game is just the “cool” thing to do.
