The '''Kart Gods''' (not to be confused with a "god", or a person who has reached god status in one of the MKs) are all-powerful beings, similar to gods in other religions, who have omnipotent control over everything related to Mario Kart.  They are the gods of the religion and philosophy associated with kart.  Their exact age is unknown, but they have existed since ancient times, but don't age and continuously look like their in their 20s.

==The meaning of life==

According to the Kart Religion, the meaning of life is to have fun, compete to be the best you can be, to be honest, and to help people.  Before Kart was created, there were other inferior methods of having fun, but it was like the dark ages, and for thousands of years people wandered aimlessly and unguided through life.  Then when the Kart Gods finally created Kart, it became the people's savior and the main method of having fun.  It was the main event in the Kart Religion, similar to Jesus in Christianity.

==Rules and guidelines of the Kart Religion==

Karters who follow the basic guidelines of the Kart Religion are sent to Kart Heaven when they die, and karters who perform the evil kart-related sins are sent to Kart Hell when they die.  The guidelines are as follows:

Karters who follow the basic guidelines of the Kart Religion are sent to Kart Heaven when they die, and karters who perform the evil kart-related sins are sent to Kart Hell when they die.  Unlike other religions, the Kart Gods don't get offended easily, so it's relatively unimportant that you believe in the Kart Gods.  Of course it's better if you do, but if you don't you can still make it into Kart Heaven if you follow the guidelines.  The guidelines are as follows:

* Take kart seriously and understand that kart is an important part of your life, and that karting more makes you a better person.

* When [[Thomas Bolton]] was ranked 5th in MKDS, it's rumored that he started praying to the Kart Gods (though this hasn't been confirmed by an official statement from him).  It took him only 3 days to pass [[Michael Fried]] to become world champion.

* When Thomas Bolton quit time trials in MKDS, the Kart Gods were mad at him for betraying them and decided to help [[Sascha Brauninger]].  It took Sascha only 3 days to become world champion by closing an incredibly large gap in AF between him and Bolton.  However, when Bolton quit he managed to make a deal with the kart gods that involved him not being sentenced to kart hell, which explains why he was able to make a short return later to get a few new world records.

* Shortly before Michael Fried passed [[Miguel Rodriguez]] to reclaim his world champion title, the Kart Goddess caused Miguel's R button to break, followed by causing Michael to make what was by far his fastest improvement so far in MKDS.

* The Kart Goddess helped Troy Ullman get his very strong CM 3lap WR in MK64.  Well, I suppose there's no proof of that, but given how superhuman his performance was, surely there must have been some amount of divine intervention, right?

* The Kart Religion is the only religion with a god who chats with people online, which creates a more personal relationship between the god and the followers than in other religions.

==Why did the Kart Gods put prb in MKDS?==

==Why did the Kart Gods put prb in MKDS?==

They didn't.  The only MK programmed by the Kart Gods themselves is MK64, which is why it's the best MK and the Kart Gods' favorite MK.  For every other MK, the Kart Gods hired servants to do the programming.  The Kart Gods just gave them general guidelines to follow, but because the servants are only human, they made mistakes.  Therefore every MK other than MK64 has mistakes in it.  SMK has zig-zagging that makes your thumb hurt, annoyingly slow acceleration, and replays where you need to press L and R to move the camera.  MKSC has too many glitches to count.  MKDD has messed up replays.  MKDS has messed up replays and prb.  The reason that the Kart Gods allowed these mistakes to be put into the games was to give people more motivation to want to go to kart heaven, where the games no longer have the mistakes.
