Random: You Can Now Buy A Real-Life Mario Kart And We Want One

Use under parental supervision.

I can't help but take that personally.

And hold up, hold up, hold up...

This thing runs on AAA batteries?! Surely they jest! That's about as ridiculous as The Simpsons' Kevin Costner's Waterworld gag.

Does it need a driving license too ?

“Awww, so nice, so innocent, oh I got a blue shell? 😐”

@Silly_G
I think the AAA batteries are for the sounds effects only. It has a bigger battery build in for driving i think

Eh ...I'd rather just have Mario Kart 9.

Maximum carrying weight of 81 pounds. Hmm...that kinda looks like 200 if you squint hard enough.

@Nickjet : That sounds more plausible.

@Vil :::sigh:::
There's always got to be at least one.
Do you realize that this product is not being manufactured by Nintendo? This is the product of an independent toy company, with no affiliation with Nintendo. Perhaps you missed that line?

TL:DR: this thing existing isn't delaying MK9 at all. 😁

I need this. Will get buying one for my kid, but I need one for me too :_(

My three-year-old would have a field day with this.

My butt won't fit in that

@Anachronism ha ha, yup, I’m planning on breathing in

Brb, buying two to wear them as roller skates

@prismt basically the same thing

I wish this had been a thing when I was a kid... kids today don't know how good they got it...

I'm about 200 lbs and 5'11", So I think that the kart will work for me

Where was this when I was a kid? Then again power wheels back in the day drank batteries like water.

And I thought a Big Wheel was awesome . . .

@Debo626 Well aware of that. Just a wish. Chill out, we're all friends here. I agree it came across as a bit too whiny, though, so I've changed it.

Also, I know more than most just how bad it can get with those comments, but I assure you I'm not one of them.

1. Can i be a kid again???

2. no blue shells????

It'd make for a heck of a display piece. I'd love one tbh. XD

Wasn't there one for Mario Kart 7 back in the early-to-mid 2010s?

This is available at Target stores, just saw one yesterday.

The kid in me is crying for this. Make a bigger one that can function as a real car, and I'd totally cruise around in it 😂

Another thing that makes me wanna yell "Where were these toys when I was a kid in the 2000's!?!?" lol

@Vil Hey no doubt, and no worries. Apologies if my comment came across a certain way as well. For what it's worth, I too want MK9 asap. Though at this point I wouldn't mind them holding it back for a Switch successor launch title. The size and success of MK8D has definitely raised the bar of expectations for MK9. 😁

Ah, if only I could be a kid again. I would love one of these.

@Debo626 The problem becomes, though: what sort of new thing will they do to justify MK9's existence? Some new gameplay element (like how Double Dash had you team up with another character, MK7 had gliders, and MK8 defied gravity)? Release every track and character from previous games (basically, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate route)? Or some sort of new mode, like a Story Mode?

If I am to be honest, I kind of fell out of love with the Mario Kart franchise after MK7. Playing the same tracks with the same characters, grinding for coins to unlock parts, and then not having anything else to do once everything was unlocked, thus creating no replay value, really soured me on the whole franchise altogether. It would take a lot, and I do mean a LOT, to make me want to buy MK9.

If you ask me, Mario Kart is beginning to fall into the same trap that F-Zero fell into: the same gameplay, with very little in the way of new stuff, hence the lengthy hiatus of the series. Nintendo really needs to figure out a way to make sure Mario Kart stays relevant in the future, otherwise it will end up like F-Zero for good, and we'll never seen another Mario Kart game again.

@Debo626 Definitely. I'm also sure it'll be there for the Switch 2 ...It's just been so long and expectations are high. Can't wait for whenever it'll come out.

@AstroTheGamosian the point system for tour is the way to go, the grinding keeps it from getting stale Ive found

@BASEDSAKRI Honestly, I played a few races in Tour, and stopped. Especially since I've started playing Genshin Impact. I've found that Genshin takes up most of my gaming time now, especially since that's really all I have time to play anymore.

My current job takes up most of my day, and I just do the daily stuff in Genshin and take part in the events when I have time. And some of the new World Quests (especially in Sumeru) can be lengthy slogs.

Maybe if Genshin had fewer events (no joke, they've got like two or three going on right now at the same time), I'd have more time for other games. But as it stands now, I don't.

Hmm this or a steam deck? 🤔 LoL seriously though if this came in an adult size I'd have a very hard desicion to make right now!

@AstroTheGamosian funny, I played a bit of genshin impact and stopped, not really an rpg guy. I do like the new witch character. My point is from somebody who is a mk superfan I know what u mean about the formula getting stale when u have unlocked everything. tour takes up most of my time yet 8's new tracks arent enough to make me play the game hardly at all.

Im just gonna get it to put in game room next to mario kart 64 poster

Man, it's not worth growing up!

@BASEDSAKRI Well, in all fairness, I am more into fantasy and sci-fi games than I am into racing games. Maybe that's why I like Genshin so much: it focuses more on the story. A good story can make even the most stale gameplay seem fresh.

That's why I think maybe the next evolutionary step that Nintendo should make with the MK series is a Story Mode. Race against enemies and beat them to advance the story, and each playable character could have their own unique story.

In a way, it's like F-Zero: GP Legend, which had that. And speaking of which, I had an idea for how Nintendo could revive the F-Zero series. If Nintendo created Splatoon to be their take on shooter games like Halo and Call of Duty, then why not have F-Zero become Nintendo's answer to the GTA series?

You could have an open-universe game (basically open-world, but with multiple words connected by an intergalactic highway), taking on missions to advance the story of taking down Black Shadow and his criminal empire. And instead of being limited to race tracks, you can freely explore each world in your F-Zero racer. In fact, the races that defined the series would just be a small part of the overall game.

@Nickjet I hope so or that's gonna take a heck of a lot of AAAs to power. o.O

Make this adult-sized now please!

I need my own fully equipped and capable Mario Kart to use items such as the "Bullet Bill" and/or "Starman" to escape/zoom past daily dreadful, annoying, life-sucking traffic congestions expeditiously.

... Wun can only hope.

But does it work with Mario Kart Home Circuit?

as a hardcore Mario Kart fanatic, I’m definitely getting this. although I won’t be able to ride it, I have a few young nephews and nieces that’d be more than happy to drive this!

Or if you want an ADULT Electric Kart Go. Its going to be a bit pricey. Segway Ninebot Go kart. I spent 1800 bucks for the segway and Kart Mod. Which you can get through Best Buy. I have had it for 2 - 3 years now and drive it on small 2 mile loops around town. SO much fun.....

@AstroTheGamosian
"The problem becomes, though: what sort of new thing will they do to justify MK9's existence"

I say it's time for Double Dash 2, with new special items and combos. It would be enough of a shakeup that Mario Kart wouldn't feel so stale, and the next (MK10) could be a return to formula as a celebration game

@Classic603 Well, as I said a further down in the comments section, maybe the next Mario Kart game should feature a Story Mode, similar to F-Zero: GP Legend.

And a new F-Zero game could be made to play like the GTA series, with multiple worlds to explore, missions to complete, and races would only be just one part of the overall game, not the whole game.

And heck, throw in online gameplay, so you can play with others to complete missions and races together, like in GTA Online. That would be the perfect way to revive the F-Zero series, if you ask me.
