Mario Kart Arcade GP is a series of arcade games developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment in partnership with Nintendo, acting as spin-offs to the Mario Kart series.The series consists of the following titles Mario Kart: Arcade GP (2005) Mario Kart: Arcade GP 2 (2007) Mario Kart: Arcade GP DX (2013) Mario Kart: Arcade GP VR (2017)The games are largely identical to the console Mario Kart games in terms of gameplay, however, there are a few notable differences between these games and their console counterparts. The most notable of which is the inclusion of Namco characters, such as Pac-Man and Don-chan as playable characters, acting as the first crossover titles in the franchise.Another noteworthy difference is that items act very differently to the console titles. Unlike the console titles, you are given a random choice of specific items before a race, the likes of which you are stuck with until the end. Also, while some items have carried over, such as the Star, Banana and shells, the Arcade GP titles add a slew of new items to the mix, including a tornado that can throw racers in the air, a pie item which you throw backwards, trash cans you throw at other racers and square tires that make it harder to control, amongst other new items.On top of that, tracks are far simpler than the mainline titles (fitting of the different format) in favor of kart speed, boss races are added (for the first two games), and there's in-game commentary since the second game.The Asian releases (and not the North American ones) of the first two games feature a card system for the first two games similar to Initial D Arcade Stage or Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune (the latter also developed by Namco), which saves the player's single-player GP mode progress, time attack times, and items unlocked for multiplayer matches. Arcade GP DX would remove the proprietary card system in favor of using the Banapassport cloud-based player data system.Notably, these titles are historically not acknowledged by Nintendo and are currently the only games to not have any retro courses in the other entries. Likely due to Namco developing them as opposed to Nintendo. | |

Extendo Boxing Glove: The Stretch Punch (or Extendable Glove in GP DX) is an item that can only be used by Wario in GP, but is available to everyone in GP DX. When used, the user will repeatedly extend it for five seconds, with anyone being hit getting forced to stop. | |

Pac-Man Stadium and Namco Circuit from GP DX goes out of its way to have sprites and illustrations from classic arcade games, including the above mentioned three as well as The Tower of Druaga, Galaxian, and Mappy, all a Shout-Out to Ridge Racer series. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Most prominent in GP DX. Some of the game's Downloadable Content gives the playable racers alternate outfits. Toad can be switched out into a blue variation. Don-chan can be switched out to him wearing his Strawberry and Hero outfits. Yoshi can be switched between red and black variants. Mario has two costumes that resemble his Fire Flower and Tanooki Suit powerups. In contrast to the other outfits, the Tanooki costume is the only unlockable palette swap. Luigi has an outfit that resembles his appearance when picking up an Ice Flower. Dry Bowser is relegated to an alternate costume of Bowser in GP DX. Just like in 8 Deluxe, Metal Mario has a Gold Mario palette swap. Some karts in GP DX have alternate colors. For example, the Vacuum Star's primary colors are green and blue, but it also has a "Type S" variation that changes its colors to red and gray and a "Type X" variation that changes its colors to yellow and black. | |

Fusion Dance | |
| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_302730a | comment |
Fusion Dance: GP DX introduces the Fusion Kart. If two players are playing in adjacent cabinets and opt to play in co-op mode, they can activate the fusion kart for 17 seconds so long as one player obtains a special power-up in a race. When activated, the player in a lower place is teleported to the other player. While the player who didn't activate the fusion kart drives, the player who did controls a cannon that can shoot an infinite amount of green shells in any direction. The Japanese version lets the player level it up and shoot stronger items and level 6 (the maximum level) allows the player to shoot Bowser Shells! | |

Rubber-Band A.I. | |
| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_34439d52 | comment |
GP DX adds Mushrooms after GP and GP 2 lacked them, thus making the Rubber-Band A.I. much more manageable, and if you still fail a race in GP DX repeatedly, you will be given three Mushrooms, which are much more powerful and useful in these games. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: While also present in the main games, the Rubber-Band A.I. is utterly merciless in these games, particularly GP and GP 2, where any time when they're not in your view, will reach impossible speeds (in games that lack Mushrooms) to stay right behind you. The Fake Difficulty is likely due to the games being Arcade-only, thus making it harder to win to make players retry. | |

Deflector Shields: While performing a powerslide, a shield will cover your kart, protecting you from enemy attacks. Shields and Reflector Shields appear as items throughout the series.

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Diamond City from WarioWare appears as a course in GP and GP 2. However, likely to avoid any potential legal issues (given that they don't have the rights to use the WarioWare IP), there are no direct ties or references to the WarioWare series in the course outside of some of the buildings from that series appearing (which, even then, have been altered to distance themselves from their WarioWare counterparts) and a "blink and you'll miss it" sign promoting Diamond Taxi. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: The Arcade GP titles tend to be ignored by Nintendo and are largely not acknowledged in anything Mario Kart related, with none of the other entries featuring tracks or characters original to the arcade games. This is most likely due to Bandai Namco being the developers of the games as opposed to Nintendo. | |

The Dinnermobile: Ms. Pac-Man's alternate kart in GP 2 resembles a slice of cake. The Sweets Party and Hamburcar karts in GP DX resemble food items, a slice of cake (which is different to the one used by Ms. Pac-Man) and a hamburger respectively. The Pie Kart is an item that turns the user's kart into one that is literally a pie on (donut) wheels. The item itself made the user have greater protection against others. | |

| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: In GP 2, the final mission of the Bowser Cup is a fight against Bowser where the player must destroy the pillars that support the platform he is standing on. If the player is using Bowser for this mission, then the player fights the Mecha Bowser seen in Super Mario Sunshine. | |

Cumulonemesis: While not as dreaded as its Wii incarnation, the Lightning Cloud makes an appearance in the GP series, and it brought friends. The Snow Cloud makes the racer hit by it lose traction and slows them down while the Rain Cloud makes their kart harder to control. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Tired of getting smacked by homing items you can't avoid? The Arcade GP games exclusively have a shield that activates when you perform a drift, much to the joy of many players. This is likely due to there being many more homing items to use and these games not having any ability to drag items behind your vehicle to block attacks. The first Arcade GP locks your character choice to your card, meaning that if you want to play with another character, you'll either have to play without a card or use a different one. Arcade GP 2 and following games and no longer tie character to card, letting you pick any character every time you start a new session. In Arcade GP DX, if no pedal input is detected for the first few seconds of the race, the game will take over accelerator input, which can help players too short to reach the pedals or those on cabinets with broken pedals. GP DX adds Mushrooms after GP and GP 2 lacked them, thus making the Rubber-Band A.I. much more manageable, and if you still fail a race in GP DX repeatedly, you will be given three Mushrooms, which are much more powerful and useful in these games. Notably, all games in the series are missing the Lightning item, and the first two lack the much-hated Spiny Shell, which even in the third game can be blocked by the drift shield. | |

| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: The game notably features various Namco characters, most notably the likes of Pac-Man, with Ms. Pac-Man and Blinky appearing as drivers is GP and GP 2. Several courses are also based on Namco characters, with Pac-Man getting his own set of tracks in every installment and Don-Chan having two tracks of his own in GP DX. GP 2 gets Mametchi from Tamagotchi of all things appear as a playable driver. Diamond City from WarioWare appears as the main location for both of the courses in the Wario Cup in GP and GP 2. | |

| Mario Kart Arcade GP (Video Game) / int_ef43c232 | comment |
Some of the game's Downloadable Content gives the playable racers alternate outfits. Toad can be switched out into a blue variation. Don-chan can be switched out to him wearing his Strawberry and Hero outfits. Yoshi can be switched between red and black variants. Mario has two costumes that resemble his Fire Flower and Tanooki Suit powerups. In contrast to the other outfits, the Tanooki costume is the only unlockable palette swap. Luigi has an outfit that resembles his appearance when picking up an Ice Flower. Dry Bowser is relegated to an alternate costume of Bowser in GP DX. Just like in 8 Deluxe, Metal Mario has a Gold Mario palette swap. | |

Intangibility: GP and GP 2 have the Slimy Mushroom and the Ghost Morph, the latter of which can only be used by Blinky. Depending on which item is used, the user's kart either turns into yellow slime or become light blue and translucent and can pass through rival karts. | |
