LAN Party Calculator (Mario Kart, Kirby Air Riders, F‑Zero)

Nintendo has multiple popular racing franchises, including Mario Kart, Kirby Air Ride, and F-Zero. Each of these franchises spans multiple titles and consoles and have ways to play with more than one console in a single shared “game lobby”. This feature makes these games interesting for LAN parties, where you have many players, consoles, and games in one area. What does it mean to be the most “LAN-party-able” Nintendo racing game? There are three metrics I found interesting for this question: most-players, price-per-player, and “real-estate”-per-player (aka: TVs/consoles). There is a different “best” game according to each of these metrics. I've compiled the data and created a small calculator to compare: Game (Any) F-Zero (FZ) Super Mario Kart (SMK) Mario Kart 64 (MK64) F-Zero: GP Legend (FZGL) F-Zero: Maximum Velocity (FZMV) Mario Kart: Super Circuit (MKSS) F-Zero GX (FZGX) Kirby Air Ride (KAR) Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (MKDD) Mario Kart Wii (MKWII) Mario Kart DS (MKDS) Mario Kart 7
