It might not be pretty, and you may only be able to race around the track forever against your two CPU opponents with no weapons or anything else to break up the monotony, but Nihilogic Labs has managed to create a working JavaScript demo of Super Mario Kart that includes three playable drivers and two different maps.
At this point, it’s just an experiment, and basically exists as a technical demo/proof-of-concept, but hey, it works, so go check it out.

Finally someone has brought together two things that have for too long been separated: Femininity and weapons. Antonio Riello’s Ladies Weapons is a mix of “female stuff” (fashion) and “male stuff” (guns) with real military weapons restyled as fashion items using leopard skins, brightly lacquered colors, inset jewels and fake furs. It’s fashion you could die for.

…Digg is a killer?
DiggKiller: The Game is a clever use of the Digg API that turns the site into a space shooter game.
By shooting at the enemy (Or is it bury?), you decrease its Digg score until it reaches zero and explodes in a shower of good and bad comments.
You then collect these comments for an increase in weapon power, as well as a few power-ups that are triggered by certain comment keywords.
Additional weapons include the Rose Bomb and the F-Bomb, and there are plenty of surprises in store during the later levels.
Dugg!
