Pelea de arte de caja: Duelo – Mario Kart: super circuito

Hola amigos, y bienvenidos a otra edición de Pelea de arte de caja!

La última vez que echamos un vistazo a uno de los Sega Genesis’ mejores juegos, Castlevania: líneas de sangre (also known as Castlevania: The New Generation). It was a close call and it looked like Japan might have run away with the crown, but ultimately, the North American variant – with its bold colours and busier composition – took home the win with 42% del voto.

This time, we’re going to check out the GBA racing classic, Supercircuito de Mario Kart. Released back in 2001, it received significant critical acclaim for its visuals and slick gameplay. For this week’s edition of Box Art Brawl, North America and Europe will be teaming up against Japan, which once again utilises a horizontal landscape for its GBA box art.

So let’s get cracking!

Asegúrese de emitir sus votos en la siguiente encuesta; pero primero, echemos un vistazo a los propios diseños de box art.

América del norte / Europa

So this is the one we’re probably all familiar with, derecho? It showcases Mario himself chilling out in his kart, looking back at the camera with a look of, uh… Determination? Seduction? We’re not sure, but it’s a striking image nonetheless, even if it lacks the inclusion of other characters from the game. The blue background is nice and we like the logo at the top, demasiado – nice and bold.

Japan

Japan’s cover features the same image of Mario, but the landscape orientation allows for a bit more to be added in, including Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Durazno, and Toad in the top left corner. The white background here is a nice contrast to the western design, and the Japanese text is very striking, en efecto. We’re kind of glad it wasn’t called “Mario Kart Advance” aqui, mente.

Gracias por votar! Nos vemos la próxima vez para otra ronda de Box Art Brawl.
