"Kart Fighter" is a fighting game for one or two players on the Nintendo Famicom game console. It is an unauthorized combination of "Street Fighter" with the characters from "Mario Kart" (copied from the similarly unauthorized game "Somari"). Some background sprites are taken from the NES game, "". The title screen music however is that of the title screen music from Mario Kart for SNES.

The cartridge is hard to find, while the ROM can be downloaded from various Internet websites.

Characters

In this game, you can choose from eight different characters, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong Junior, Koopa Troopa, and Toad.
