It's been more like Shigeru Miyamoto Life around these parts this week, with Nintendo's legendary designer hitting the headlines for his apparent — though later rescinded — announcement of his retirement. He's still a fun lovin' kind of guy though, as these photos of him sat in a real-life Mario Kart prove.
Miyamoto was in Canoga, California's Westfield Topanga mall — judging by the photos he may have been the only one — as he was in town for the Spike Video Game Awards.
Enjoy these photos of Miyamoto in a Mario Kart and anticipate future memes arising from this very moment.

I hope He got to take it for a spin seeing as they are real working go carts.
What if he doesn't have a driving license?
I can already hear the sirens of the police with their speeding ticket and pen coming
Miyamoto Kart! Dede...dididi,,, TUTU! TITIRI!!!!
That's a pretty massive kart, Mario must be really fat...
And if Remi Gaillard got one of those, oh dear... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MytfhzcSF-Y
I smell a meme? LOLCAT: CANT TIS TING GOW ANY FASTR?!1
I will give you 1 million dollars for that thing.
is it just me or does the karts seem a little biger then what they would look in the game
I'm guessing the designers needed to make it bigger to house the engine and what not. Think of a bike but with 2 extra wheels I suppose. :3
photo becomes a meme in 3... 2... 1...
No matter how many times I read "Photos of Shigeru Miyamoto Sat in a Real Life Mario Kart" all I can imagine is that someone took a photo of Miyamoto and then placed it into a kart, though clearly these are photos of Shigeru Miyamoto sitting in a kart. Surely there was a better way to word that!
By the way, I think the karts are oversized so that someone in a Mario mascot costume (which has a huge head) would look proportional sitting in them. Just sayin'.
Shiggy forgot to take his Super Mushroom that day, it seems.
Shiggy drives?! What blasphemy is this? Where's the chauffeur?!
