In the kart-racing genre, Mario Kart’s reigns supreme. But the social media team behind Garfield Kart: Furious Racing and Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift didn’t miss a chance to dunk on Nintendo’s decision to sunset Mario Kart Tour this fall.
On X, the official account for Garfield Kart declared its superiority to Mario Kart because it “will not randomly kill your game license.”

While the Garfield Kart games are far behind Mario Kart in terms of popularity, the title characters do share a connection on the big screen. Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt is the voice of Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie and its sequel, while also portraying Garfield in the most recent animated film. That’s about as close as these two franchises will come to a crossover short of another Smash Bros. sequel that may seek lasagna-craving felines for its roster.
Mario Kart Tour will be shut down on September 29, seven years after Nintendo began its push into mobile. Most of Nintendo’s other mobile games from that era have also shut down, with a few exceptions including Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, and Pikmin Bloom.
On consoles, Mario Kart
