The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Super Mario Kart began development as a straight-forward go-kart racing game before switching directions and adding elements from the Mushroom Kingdom. Super Go-Kart Racing aims to “recreate” what the original intention of the game was. There are no weapons, coins or jumps. It’s just no-frills racing across 20 brand-new tracks set in realistic go-kart race locations. All of the music and many of the sounds have been changed to create a different experience.
