Super Mario Kart is the first installment in the Mario Kart series. Most elements of the game, such as items and courses, were based off of Super Mario World.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
Super Mario Kart appears as a Masterpiece in Smash 4. It is available from the start, with a 3 minute time limit. The provided demo immediately starts the player on Mario Circuit 1 in the Grand Prix mode, as Mario.
Items
While a majority of Smash items that first appeared in Super Mario Kart had debuted 7 years prior, only one item that appears debuted in Super Mario Kart: the Lightning Bolt. Similar to its appearance in Super Mario Kart and future Mario Kart games, the Lightning Bolt, when used by a player, shrinks all opponents in size, making them easier to KO; the item, however, can backfire in Smash, while it cannot do so in Mario Kart.
Of note is that the Red Shell item, while originating in Super Mario Bros., behaves more similarly to its appearance in Super Mario Kart. Upon being thrown, the item moves back and forward on whatever platform it lands on, quickly homing in on any opponents that land on said platform.
Music
The music that plays in the game's Mario Circuit racetrack appears in remixed form in both Brawl and Smash 4; the track is used in each respective game's Mario Circuit stages.
Miscellaneous
In Melee, a kart from Super Mario Kart appears as a collectable trophy, under the name "Racing Kart".
