Mario Kart 73ds Guide

Search trends show that "mario kart 73ds" spikes every time a new Mario Kart game is announced. Fans hope that Nintendo will finally acknowledge the meme. In 2023, during a Nintendo Direct, a split-second shot of a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe track selection screen showed a "73cc" placeholder text. The internet exploded—but it was just a developer oversight. The myth continues.

: Note that the Nintendo 3DS eShop has officially closed for new purchases; however, you can still redownload the game if you previously owned it digitally, as detailed on the Nintendo Support page.

The “73” supposedly referenced the number of unique item combinations possible. Pure chaos. Pure fun.
