''Super Mario Kart'' has eight available drivers, divided into statistically identical pairs of two. While subsequent ''Mario Kart'' games would classify characters based on weight class, in this game other criteria are used. The stats presented here are derived and inferred from the manual<ref>http://gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_SNES//Manual/formated/Super_Mario_Kart_-_1992_-_Nintendo.pdf</ref> and the Japanese ''Official Nintendo Guidebook''.<ref>''Super Mario Kart Nintendo Official Guidebook'', pages 17 and 126.</ref> The Bros are above average drivers, The Dragon and The Lady have the highest acceleration, The Showdown have the highest top speed and weight, while The Small Guys have the highest handling, which makes them recommended for beginners. Each pair of characters has different engine sounds for their karts, which reflect their appearances and characteristics. All drivers also have a unique theme music whenever they finish a race with a good position.

On a side note, this is one of only two ''Mario Kart'' games to feature [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] as a playable character (subsequent installments have replaced him with [[Donkey Kong]]), the other being ''Mario Kart Tour''.
