Think of it this way, SMK created the franchise, MK64 took it in 3D with four players, MK Super Circuit took to our pockets, MK Double Dash made characters useful with a co-op system, MK DS took the franchise online, MK7 added the customization and flying, MK8 added antigravity and expansions. MK Wii added motion controls, but I played better with the analog stick...
