'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is the second game in [[Nintendo]]'s ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series. It was first released for the [[Nintendo 64]] (N64) in 1996, and was the second bestselling title for the system.

It was the first game in the series to feature blue spiny shells, and introduced mini-turbos from power slides. It was also the first in the series to offer 4-player split-screen play.
