If you're separated from your beloved Super NES and Super Mario Kart, there may be another way for you to get your fix of its speedy charms by following the example of anime association Motsukora.
The Spanish group built a real-life Mario Kart circuit for its remote controlled cars to boost around, displaying it at a Japanese event, but as you can see from the video below the drivers could do with honing their skills just a little more. Still, the combination of music, driving and those tiny little green shells on the course makes it look like all the team's hard work paid off.
Next stop: this, but life-sized.

you know... i've always wanted a lifesized Mario Kart. if they could figure out a way to make a go-kart track with powerups you can collect, throw, and mess up other drivers with, i'd be all over that.
I have a Mario Kart rc toy, which resembles the N64 kart design. I got it at Gamestop for like $10.
That was the coolest thing Ive ever thing in my life! .....as it was when I saw it couple of weeks ago......
Lol all that crashing reminds me when I first played Mario Kart on the SNES. That is sooo cool I wish I was that skilled to make something like that. They did a great job on that.
I hope that someday they would make Mario Kart RC cars, that would have different abilities, like snappier acceleration for Koopa or higher top speed on DK. Perhaps they could even sell different track pieces like coin- or item tiles, that would grant you mushroom or increase maximum speed. I would have to collect them all.
This reminds me of this Mario Kart DS Slot-car set I've seen while waiting for a friend to finish shopping at Hobby Lobby. (That store is sooo dull, I felt like I was going to die)

More like Mario Kart Drunk Driving
Very impressive but it would've been even more impressive if the cars worked better.
They should know better that those are N64 item boxes. tut tut
This is f*cking awesome.
At first, I was also thinking it was going to be something about the Mario Kart DS slot car thing.
Oooooooooooh dat is awesome.
Looks awesome...
That's pretty neat!
Nice! I want to build something like zat!
Is there a place to get those karts? Seems like a kick christmas gift ;D
I have two of those karts, I got them at Target.
@yodarulez: When was this?
Well, I went to iTunes and bought the album for that music immediately, so the video did its job at least on that point. This band wins my heart by covering the Mario Sunshine theme for Delfino Plaza.
I saw a Mario Kart game at Toys R Us. It had Wario and Mario karts and the course looked like Figure 8 Circuit. It was based off of Mario Kart DS.
Now for them to learn to drive an RC
Awesome!
lol fail driving
