Best Answer

The Mario Series Started with Donkey Kong in 1982 which was an Arcade game. During this time the goal of all Arcade games was to get the highest score because their was no end. Super Mario Bros. was the first major game to ever have an ending. They kept the scoring to keep those early gamers familiar to what they were comfortable with. Scoring stayed in the Mario series up until Super Mario 64.

It's a score, the higher the number, the better you're doing. What's not to get? It doesn't really do anything. But if you're score's higher than someone else's, than you're better at it than them.

What is the high score in Mario Kart?

The high score would depend on which Mario Kart you are talking about. Also, in some of the Mario Karts, in Multiplayer mode, you can set how many races you want to do. In the Grand Prix on Mario Kart Wii, your maximam score that you can get in points is 60 points; 15 points per race. In Double Dash!!, you can get a Max Score of 40 points. Most every Mario Kart has a Max Score of 40 points. In Mario Kart Wii, if you set the races to 25, your Max Score (let's say you got 1st every time) would be 375 points. It all depends on how many races and which Mario Kart you are referring to.
