Ragnarök

Na mitologia nórdica, Ragnarök (nórdico antigo "destino final dos deuses") é uma série de eventos futuros, incluindo uma grande batalha anunciada que resultaria na morte de um número de figuras importantes (incluindo os deuses Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr e Loki), a ocorrência de vários desastres naturais e a submersão subsequente do mundo em água. Depois, o mundo ressurgiria de novo e fértil, os sobreviventes e os deuses renascidos se reuniriam e o mundo seria repovoado por dois sobreviventes humanos. Ragnarök é um evento importante no cânone nórdico e tem sido objeto de estudos acadêmicos e teóricos.

Mario Kart

The primary gameplay in the Mario Kart series sees players control one of a selection of characters from the Mario series competing in a go-kart race. One of the most notable features of the series is the use of various power-up items that can be found by driving into item boxes laid out on the course. These range from Super Mushrooms that can give the player a speed boost and Koopa Shells that can be fired at opponents to Banana Peels that can be laid on the track and Lightning that can shrink all other players. The type of weapons that can be earned often depends on the player's current position in the race; players running at the back of the race may receive more powerful items whilst the leader will only receive small defensive items.
