Mario Karted

To be in the lead in something or to have a streak of success, only to have your success snatched away from you at the last moment, possibly through unfair or unjust means on the part of the person beating you.

Popularised from the game's frequent result in which a 1st place can be snatched away just before the finish line with a powerup.

Can be used as a more friendly version of cockblocked.

Super Paper Mario

One of the greatest Wii games. Has one of the darkest plots in a Mario game, a lot of lore and worldbuilding, and a sympathetic villain. Unfortunately it is criminally underrated due to the change in gameplay from its predecessor.

Mario Kart Effect

When you are falling behind, or doing poorly in an event, and the greater power or governing force allows you to catch up to the pack. The reverse effect is had on the pack leader.

Derived from Mario Kart -- the Greater Power of Mario Kart inevitably grants the 8th place racer stars and lightnings until he catches up with the pack. On the other side of the coin, the first place racer will receive bananas and green shells until his lead diminishes.
Jeremy, the CEO of an I-Banking firm, is doing very well.

Stu, the man dancing in the street wearing a sign for Mattress Land, is not doing so well.

The Mario Kart Effect takes place, and the government makes Jeremy pay more taxes than Stu -- hopefully one day they will both return to the pack and do pretty well.

mario kart ds

A kick ass game for the Nintendo DS, released on November 14, 2005 for the US and December 8 in Japan, it was also the first game (along with Tony Hawk's American Sk8land) to make use of the DS's wifi capabilities. You could race online with up to four players in 16 of the 32 tracks.
Because this was Nintendo's first foray into online gaming, the online part of the game had a couple minor issues. For one thing, there was no way to communicate. Also, you could not trade friend codes in game, which meant if you found someone on Worldwide mode with whom you had a really fun time, there is no way you will know if you will play them again. Despite these and other small problems the game still kicked ass.
Mario Kart DS might be described as the best WiFi game released to-date.
