[Mario Universe] Given the kinds of tracks in Mario Kart, what does it say about the state of technology in the Mushroom Kingdom?

For example, Neo Bowser City is a fairly high tech place. Hell, the Karts themselves are fairly high tech--why do we never see examples of such technology outside of the Karting games?

The mushroom kingdom is constantly being devastated in the war between the Princess and Bowser. There is no time to build much of anything outside of the Princess's castle. Sometimes we get to see a toad village, but it never seems to stick around for long. The only time the fighting ever stops is when all the opposing forces unite to go play go carts. The bits and pieces of mushroom society that contain these tracks are the only parts that Bowser's troops leave alone during attacks. There is *nothing* more important than winning the gold cup. Thus, we see the tech contained inside of the tracks advancing and getting better, while everything else gets devastated. Simple, really.
