#5 Super Mario Kart
Super Nintendo: 1992
The Mario Kart series is, at its heart, all about bananas. Banana peels are the most salient hazard an opponent will throw down onto the track, and man, nothing smarts like careening into one.
Adding insult to injury, it hardly helps that the banana peel has a face. Uh, I can lose this entire game without your intervention, friendly little Banana Peel. So thanks. Thanks a lot.
