The heat of competition burns at your pounding heart, rivulets of sweat drip down your brow but you can't afford even a second to wipe it away. Your pulse marks each passing second, the weight of the world gathers on your weary shoulders and as the finish line comes into sight, you know the true meaning of the word triumph. That's right, it's MARIO KART!!
The Winter Olympics in Sochi are almost over, and its been an incredible run. Both glory and heartbreak have washed over the athletes, which isn't so dissimilar to a particularly passionate round of Mario Kart if you're inclined to get as invested as some of us here at Nintendo Life. Today, special effects-laden YouTube channel timtimded has once again bridged the gap between reality and video games, providing a vision of the Mushroom Kingdom Winter Olympics.
The result is suitably chaotic, as the Olympic speed skaters blast each other with blue shells and chain chomps at every opportunity. To make matters even worse, it takes place at Sochi's infamous Baby Park Stadium, and Double Dash fans know just how bad that can get...
You can check out the video below, but be warned that it isn't always a pretty sight when thunder clouds and koopa shells are involved!

That's so funny! Made my day. Hate that baby park though, pretty uncreative track in a game bursting with creativity.
Meh, that could've used some polish. But Baby Park was one of my favourite tracks! The intense warfare with bowser shells, bob-ombs, shells and DK bananas was such a blast!
That was great! Loved Double Dash!
Could've done without the commentary but I did get a chuckle out of the Chain Chomp.
Hahaha oh my god, that is hilarious
@Benjerocks Its simplicity made it so creative! It required more skill to stay in fist because of the onslaught of items. It was simple like no other mario kart course. I enjoyed Baby Park, but DK mountain is the best!
Speed skating with Mario Kart items is serious business! O_o
I liked the part where the guy stopped to eat the banana and the commentary.
"He'll be going home with plenty of potassium, but no gold..." Classic!
The blood trail at 0:22...
Um...wat? xD
Yes, just...yes!
That's not weirdness, that's just epic.
This is brilliant.
One of the skiers representing Austria, Mario Matt, his nickname is "Super Mario".
Now they need to make Mario hockey
Classic!
@Falchion Rainbow Road is always the best track.
@Falchion Baby Park - Ice Edition
Great! Shared. Let's keep building up MK8 Hyyyyyype
@unrandomsam It faces competition from SNES Mario Circuit 3 and Peach Beach.
Lol that was simply amazing. Hats off to the gyys who created this
@Matts14 They did it in Mario Sports Mix, though in all fairness it wasn´t a pure hockey game and unfortunately only so-so. Speaking of - here´s to Sweden grabbing the gold medal today!
I do believe that's shorttrack actually. Yeah, I'm Dutch, I care about the things we dominate.
GO USA!!!! Also, this footage is from Vancouver 2010, not Sochi 2014...
Wanted to laugh, but... well, it wasn't that funny. Funniest video game/real life mash up is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Jb4UJ_1SU
You're welcome
Great Video and Great Track, Baby Park can only truly be experienced with friends, the enemy A.I. just don't play it right.
After how they did at speedskating (and at Sochi in general), team USA can use all the blue shells, red shells, chain chomps, and any other help it can get before 2018.
Haha awesomeness!
Lol, pretty cool!
