Mario Kart Madness & Friends Pandora Archive Card

The racing card, with Mario riding shotgun

Mario Kart Madness & Friends is the card for living-room races and the arguments that follow them. Mario Kart 64 is the headline, but the card goes a long way past it: Mario platformers, arcade drivers, PS1 Need for Speed and a stack of PSP racers.

One reason people buy it: discs scratch, cartridges die and online stores close. An archive on a card keeps playing long after the original media gives up.

Sticks or pads?

Arcade racers like Out Run feel fine on a joystick. The N64 and PSP games were built around analog sticks and extra buttons, so a lot of owners pair this card with a controller pad. The Pro board supports several controller types, and you can map buttons per game and save the setup.
