Last week we shared details on a month-long StreetPass UK contest, in which gamers in the country are encouraged to tackle challenges and share their exploits in order to try and win 3DS games or eShop credit. It's a nice way for players to compete and interact with each other on Twitter.
The second challenge has now been shared; this time proof is needed of clearing Toad Circuit (in Mario Kart 7) in under 1:30. If you post proof (and you're in the UK) you're entered into the draw.
Are any of you in the UK tempted to give this a try?

Mario Kart 7 is still a good game, even going on five years later. Kind of surprised there are no DLC tracks or updates to it in that time span, but glad there are occasional still events for this title.
My best is only 1:34, but since I already have two of the three prize games there's not much point in me spending hours to get to a 1:30 time.
I found this one quite hard, only just managed it. Lots of entries now.
Literally, got it five minutes ago having started trying yesterday night. Really enjoyed the challenge since I've never put a huge amount of time into the game. It's lovely of the StreetPass folks to run this
I entered the last one, and a few minutes before it finished, 2 people with the same last name and very very similar user names jumped in and stole it, also the "winner's" account was only used for competitions and the version they used on the winner tweet wasn't clickable, so it's harder to prove it even exists, so I'm not entering this little publicity stunt again.
@Bengyman That was a real sucker punch i can imagine. A few days before the end of that one, i did wonder whether some might be 'sitting' on high scores, which they would then deploy strategically at the end.
Nothing illegal about that. In a way, it makes sense from a competitive stand point. People are less likely to better their efforts in they're in first, and more likely to better them if you deploy proof that you've beaten their score early.
As for the potential for both accounts being owned by one person. I can't rule that out either way, it isn't an issue insofar as the scoring goes for Challenge #1, it was a legit jump, but as far as the entries in to the prize draw, it may be something we have to look at come October 29th, just to be fair.
