A brand new Mario Kart game is just around the corner, and while its mobile roots have meant that it hasn't generated the usual amount of hype in Nintendo-focused communities like our very own, it's still a particularly interesting time for the franchise.
Mario Kart Tour launches on 25th September and whatever your feelings on the game's potential, it's hard to say no to these 'real-life' trailers that have been popping up over the last few days. Starring a crew of construction Toads, the videos showcase the game's various tracks being built ready for the big release next week, but Toads can be pretty clumsy when they want to be.
The first video in the series was set in Tokyo (you can remind yourself of that one here), but we've now been treated to small clips for Paris and New York, too.
There's just something really cool about seeing Nintendo characters mixing with our world; we were actually just about to say that we'd love to adopt a Toad or two into our homes, but then we remembered their horrifying screams.
Send help.

Oh dear goth make it stop.
cuuuute alert
Sounds like he's getting pegged
Whoever made the call to post the screaming Toad video is a genius.
Omg those two videos are amazing. When he sits on the power ramp and goes flying! Byeeeeee
Respect for the Toads. They try to make themselves useful.
Fire all of those Toads. All of them. No wonder the Mushroom Queendom is a mess. You know Peach is over there apologizing for all of the damage.
@Andymad Do you mind editing your comment? We have profanity rules here.
Someone need to make a Toad flying into Space meme out of the Toad that got launched upward from the dash panel.
@Kalmaro lol whoops
@Andymad All good! That was my fav part of the video too.
I see Nintendo is promoting worksplace safety hazards.
I love these vids ! makes me want a cgi film just featuring toads though, as long as its more minions than smurfs lol
I feel like the toad that got smacked in the face with the shell is the same one that got launched in NYC. Dude is going to have to pay a very high deductible.
