Ultra Mario Kart is in a lot of ways similar to OTL's Mariokart 64. The driving is similar, the games have identical character rosters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Bowser, Toad, Donkey Kong), and most of the OTL stages appear in this game as they do IOTL, though with a few butterfly-altered changes, different shortcuts and the like. The power drift and mini-turbos introduced in Mario Kart 64 OTL also appear in this game. However, this game and Super Mario Kart have the same number of courses (20), with 14 courses from OTL and six entirely original courses. This game also features six Battle courses, with only two appearing from OTL and four original ones. The game also features a lot more voice samples from the individual characters, and even an announcer that commentates on position changes and item hits, which never appeared IOTL. The announcer's commentary is limited to short quips, which can be on the silly and overdramatic side (which lends this game very well to Youtube parodies in the future).
