Mario Kart Arcade GP is an arcade-only iteration of Nintendos Mario Kart , developed by Namco. Designed for the Triforce arcade board (also used for F-Zero AX), players can race as one of eleven charers in twenty-four tracks. On certain machines, for an additional fee, a players data can be saved on a magnetic card which can be inserted into the machine again later to retain unlocked items and records. Nintendos limited role of development was mainly isolated to ensuring that it was a worthy title for the established franchised.\r<br>This games arcade cabinet houses a camera that will take a photograph of the players face. The photo can be customized and then will be displayed above the players charer during multiplayer races.\r<br>The game is noted for being the first Mario Kart to feature playable crossover charers: Namcos Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Blinky. The game received a sequel in 2007 in the form of Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.
