MKS Texture Pack V1

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! Keep in mind that we won't include stuff from non-Mario games (So no suggestions like Sonic, Link or other games).
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.

Since today, Mario Kart Source is now an opened project !
What does it mean ? Every progress made by the team is now instantly viewable on the forums by everybody. You can now see the latest progress from coders, the latest new map, the latest new music and more without restriction !
The objective of this big change is to attract more people on the project. When the Dev Team still continue to produce most of the work, community can also help, and why not have his work included in the game ! This will make this project a real community project, where everyone can contribute providing ideas, creations or even just encouragement :)
Now just go on the forums and have a look on all the topics ! Most of them were in a private section before, and you may find here exclusive contents. But keep in mind that everything you will find in may not be included in the game, especially for some maps which where only tests and not final projects.
Note : the Pit Crew, a group of people who donated for the project, will still have advantages, like earlier access to playable build. Remember that donations are here only for hosting purposes. This help Joker, the owner of the website domain and the original creator of Mario Kart Source, to pay the hosting. Thanks !
Another thing, we just got a new developer : Hideous ! He's a good modeler and there is a big chance that you already saw one of his work if you're a Team Fortress 2 player : the Western Wear hat is one of his creations ! Welcome him to the team !
And in case of you've missed it, have a look on the latest video from Mecha the Slag, showing some code progress with the kart, the music system and some items. Thanks for supporting us !

I just want to know... I have Left for Dead 1 and i think it runs on Source. I don't know if this mod can run on left for Dead..??
You should be able.
It can't because L4D and L4D2 both use a different version of Source than HL2, CSS, TF2, and ect. For example, you can't use L4D and L4D2 with Garry's Mod.
we will see what mario will look like if he was in a pc exclusive game :D
Really can not wait! There should be maps from the SNES game revamped, that would be the tits ^_^.
Sounds very promising :)
Awesome news :)
And the Mario model is just awesome!
Omg, not dead!
<3
Truly awesome.
How it can better as the orginal Mario?? :D
I'm not to sure what you just asked.
