As you're hopefully aware, we announced earlier this week that we're running a marathon live stream of Mario Kart 1-7, in which two courageous souls from the Nintendo Life team will sacrifice their Saturday for your entertainment. We'll also be hoping that the elaborate setup of cables for the broadcast won't spontaneously combust; there's a lot of stuff plugged in.
During this broadcast we'll be capturing all of the main series games (not the arcades!) off their native-ish, hardware. We will be slightly cheating and using a Game Boy Advance player in the GameCube for Super Circuit, a 3DS for both the DS entry and MK7, and a Wii U for Mario Kart Wii. Our plan is to seamlessly switch through the games, and it'll all naturally run perfectly...
Below's the schedule for this run:
- 09:30 Eastern / 14:30 UK / 15:30 CET — Super Mario Kart
- 10:00 Eastern / 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET — Mario Kart 64
- 10:30 Eastern / 15:30 UK / 16:30 CET — Mario Kart: Super Circuit
- 11:00 Eastern / 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET — Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
- 11:30 Eastern / 16:30 UK / 17:30 CET — Mario Kart DS
- 12:00 Eastern / 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET — Mario Kart 7
- 13:00 Eastern / 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET — Mario Kart Wii
We're finishing with the Wii entry simply due to the fact that, of course, its online component will be switched off on 20th May; it deserves the finale. We'll be running a community in Mario Kart 7 for you to join us, while in Mario Kart Wii we'll invite you to send us friend codes throughout, which we'll then add when the time comes. For you MK7 fans, below is the number you need.

I think the last Mario Kart I owned was super circuit
I'm ready to win (lose) in MK7 and Wii, bring it!
Looking forward in seeing a video of this later but does anyone agree with me that Mario kart 64 feels slow?
Why not end with Mario Kart 7?
@DonnaxNL I say why near the end of the article
@ThomasBW84 Sorry Never though I would be that guy, that makes such comments.
I might watch double dash i haven't seen much of that game and hopefully have a few mario kart 7 races
@DonnaxNL No worries
Cant wait for Double Dash. I have great memories of that game, and I lost it a couple years ago. It'll be fun seeing you guys play it
Hyped for Double Dash. It's been so long since I've seen actual gameplay of my favorite MK game.
Right now, the video doesn't stutter, it's OK.
Awesome. Made it just in time for Super Circuit. ^^
This is really fun to watch. Please do this more often.
Who's winning? I am rubbish but may still join you for MK7.
Very excited they are doing this, but they should really test the stream first before putting it on. It's very much unwatchable for the most part. Hopefully it will be better when they get into Mario Kart Wii.
I had to stop watching unfortunately, after looking forward to it all week. Better luck next time I guess.
It won't let me watch it!
1 PM for Mario Kart?
Might I say that using Yoshi in that vehicle is my personal favorite for the DS game. Good times that was.
So why are they playing 7 before Wii? Thought they'd do them in order..
hahahah

I'm "Red" in MK7~
The internet on my 3DS and Wii is being wonky, so I think I'll sit this one out. Still fun to watch though.
I seem to have gotten a bit "rusty..." Haha, that's it...
I had a disconnection and am getting stuck at a "Please wait" screen, so I guess that's my day. Fun playing, though, GGs to anyone I played~
I had fun with the few I was playing with some close battles as well
@Sonic_Blur_111 I was Lichi from Norway, remember me? We had a few races together
@LichiRichi yes those were close and fun races wish I could of continued but I had to go
Those were some pretty fun races. A good way to past the time. ^^
For MKWii, I was Morgan playing as Bowser Jr. in the Mach Bike. Great times!
Bring double dash, along with its network multiplayer feature, to eshop virtual console (along with GameCube aswell obviously)
@DESS-M-8 This
I remember when we were all talking about that on the stream.
I'll join in the MK7 stream! :3 I'm a little rusty at MK, but I'll do my best (~_~;
