“My favorite video game, probably Mario Kart.”

The seminal Nintendo title, Mario Kart, is one of the most popular franchises in the Japanese video game company’s arsenal. The best-selling iteration of the franchise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, has sold over 38.74 million copies as of 2021 (reporting by Eurogamer)

However, this does not imply that the 2014 Nintendo release is the Marvel actress’ go-to game. Quite anticlimactically, Scarlett didn’t reveal which iteration of the franchise was her favorite, but as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has already seen a release by then, it remains a strong contender.

Significantly, fans have a much more lucid answer to Johansson’s number one character to play as. She mentions that she usually plays as Toad because the mushroom-headed mascot is “so cute”. Shigeru Miyamoto would be proud.

It would cost $24.99 to purchase the Booster Course Pass, but it would be free for players with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
