Nintendo’s own real-life playable video game museum (Smash Bros.) just got its last round of updates until the next version, but this Mario Kart video one-ups it on character count—by about double, that is. As Toad races up the track to make it to first place, gamers will notice a lot of familiar faces, or at least the backs of heads. In fact, many gamers will know them all by name, which is an impressive testament to how many memorable video game characters are out there.

… And then there’s Goku, because of reasons. If you saw anyone you couldn’t identify, check out the full list from the video’s YouTube description:
