Super Mario Kart - Video Game Series South Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

RetiredGuy: Farewell Florida

Dear Fellow Geocachers,

In 2011, I created the Video Game Classic Series South to celebrate video games from the 1970’s and 1980’s. The series grew to having 50 caches with container, location, or puzzle connected to the classic video games. Having almost all of the containers be themed meant that maintaining them has been difficult but well worth it. The series has had 5700 cache finds by 1100 different geocachers. I have also maintained a leaderboard of cachers’ progress in the series, now with fourteen cachers having found all 50 caches.

In March of 2020, my wife and I moved back to Boston to be near our first grandchild and I can no longer maintain the caches. I will be archiving them when they go missing or have serious issues. While you can still access the leaderboard by clicking on this message, all 50 caches will no longer be available to find.

I deeply enjoyed the Florida geocaching community. Should you make it to Boston, feel free to look up my caches or me while you are in the area.
Best regards and keep on cachin’

Geocache Description:

You are looking for the item that would give your kart a speed boost!


Super Mario Kart was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. The development of the first game was overseen by Shigeru Miyamoto, the Japanese video game designer who helped create the original Super Mario Bros., as well as many other successful games for Nintendo.


In Super Mario Kart, players competed in go-kart races, controlling one of a selection of characters, typically from the Mario franchise.

One of the features of the game was the use of various power-up items obtained by driving into them which were laid out on the course. These power-ups included mushrooms that gave players a speed boost, Koopa Shells that could be thrown at opponents, and banana peels that could be laid on the course as hazards.
