'''''Mario Kart XXL''''' is a Game Boy Advance tech demo created by Denaris Entertainment Software for Nintendo in 2004. The purpose was to demonstrate the GBA's ability to render and scale/rotate two different background layers. There is only one course, similar to Donut Plains 1, and only one playable character, which is Mario. The race consists of three laps and can be cancelled at any time by pressing X. Unusual for Game Boy Advance games, the course is rendered in true 3D. The camera can zoom in and out on Mario using the L and R buttons, also rendered in full 3D. | '''''Mario Kart XXL''''' is a Game Boy Advance tech demo created by Denaris Entertainment Software for Nintendo in 2004.<ref>[https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_XXL The Mario Wiki's article on the tech demo.] Retrieved 16 Jan '19.</ref> The purpose was to demonstrate the GBA's ability to render and scale/rotate two different background layers.
