Which company published Super Mario Kart?

Which company published Super Mario Kart? Nintendo published Super Mario Kart.

Released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Mario Kart was both developed and published by Nintendo. It was the first game in the Mario Kart series and introduced Mario characters, item-based attacks, drifting-style racing, and the battle mode that became series staples.

The game grew from an idea inspired by F-Zero, another Nintendo racing game. F-Zero lacked simultaneous multiplayer, so the developers designed a smaller-scale racer that could support two players. The SNES's Mode 7 graphics helped create the impression of a three-dimensional track surface.

A common mix-up is confusing the publisher with the developer: Nintendo filled both roles here. Capcom, Namco, and Sega were rival companies, not the publisher of this original Mario Kart. Super Mario Kart eventually sold about 8.76 million copies worldwide and became one of the SNES's best-selling games.
