Mario Kart Source aims to bring the fun and excitement of the Mario Kart series to the PC though the powerful Source engine used in Half Life 2. We hope to create the ultimate version of Mario Kart (MK) by combining all of the best aspects into one game. We're not simply recreating one version of MK, but using the best parts of each. We want to have all the traditional weapons, characters, and maps but also bring out new weapons that make game-play interesting. We're redesigning the maps so that they keep their appeal, but truly utilize the power of the source engine. We plan to have at least 8 different characters, all the ones you know and love as well as some others from the Super Mario World.

We want this mod to reflect what you guys want in a Mario Kart game. Have some cool weapon ideas? What special characters do you want? What about maps? We want to know!

And now the question on everybody's mind, a beta release. “When is it?” “Is it a closed beta?” “How much longer?” As far as a public beta is concerned, we will not release anything until we are satisfied that it will be a beneficial experience for the gamers. We want you guys to enjoy playing and not be driven away by countless bugs. Right now, we're making progress, so please be patient, a beta will come.

We will have a closed beta that's reserved for the Dev Team and the invite-only MKS Pit Crew. More information about that on the Forums.

Want to help out? We're currently in desperate need of some Sound Technicians, and Animators. Click the “Open Positions” link on your left or stop on by the Forums and show us your stuff, we're looking for talented help to make this mod better. Experience with Source would be very beneficial but is not required. Honestly, the only things keeping us back are these areas, as evidenced by the “Mod progress” in the upper right.

For the latest and greatest, click the “News” link on your left to see what's new. Take a look around and come visit us on the Forums, we'd love to hear from you.

Thank you for your interest in this MOD.

Hello folks!

The team just released some new contents for the community!

This pack include some official textures, sprites and skies. This pack is only for creating maps for Mario Kart Source, it's why the textures are "watermarked", to prevent the use of this pack for other mods and games like Garry's Mod. If you want to use some files for another mod, you will have to wait the release of MKS.

To use this pack, you will need to copy the materials folder in the game/mod folder you want to use while waiting a MKS release. Don't try to modify the folders of the files, for many reasons:

-Some problems will happen (especially non-working textures or purple pictures)

-When the mod will be released, you will automatically see your textures replaced by the latest official ones, without having to modify your maps

 Read the text files included in the pack for more help.

You can download this pack in the download section of the website.

 Pack details:

 MKS Texture Pack V1:
Included textures packs:
-Double Deck
-Skyscraper
-Pipe Plaza
-Water textures

Included Skyboxes:
-Sunset sky (Double Deck sky)
-Space sky (Skyscraper sky)
-Blue sky (Pipe Plaza sky)

Included Sprites:
-Classic Super Mario Bros. Cloud
-Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Sun Style  

 Feel free to pass on the forums to show your creations!

 Thanks,

 The MKS Team.

I'm not really a fan of mario. I mean I like it, but I'm not a HUGE fan. Nor am I a HUGE fan of racing games, I like them though. I do prefer Half-Life. But I do think that this is a very good mod. VERY good. Good job, mates!

NOTE: If anyone says Mario is better than Gordon, then you should check out Gamespot's "Greatest hero of all time". GORDON FREEMAN is the GREATEST HERO OF ALL TIME. It was voted by the world!

i'm wondering if not only it'll be like mario kart was, but have the mario kart double dash features implemented,

-2 characters on a cart
- selectable carts
- push starting

for some characters..

i'd say 1 up the game itself and add characters found in super smash bros.

It's planned multiplayer only at this moment.

Maybe someone will program some bots after, like for CS ^^
