Mario Kart World just launched with Switch 2, but PC gamers are playing Mario Kart 64 instead thanks to a "many-year" fan project that doesn't contain Nintendo's original code

Mario Kart 64.

Over two weeks have passed since both the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World released, but not everyone is playing the racing game series' new title – in fact, the arrival of a Mario Kart 64 port for PC might have fans excited to try Nintendo's beloved 1996 gem instead.

That's right, you can warp back to simpler times and play Mario Kart 64 again, thanks to a PC port made possible by fans reverse-engineering the original game. SpaghettiKart, as it's been hilariously dubbed by its developers, is now available to download and try out via GitHub – and no, there's no risk of Nintendo taking it down. That's because the "many-year" project, as developers describe it, doesn't actually borrow any code from the Nintendo 64 game.
