We have seen a lot of Nintendo-themed builds in Halo Infinite's Forge Mode over the past few months including Ocarina of Time's Kokiri Forest and Super Mario 64's Peach's Castle. One thing has been missing from each of these however: a giant cannon that fires you onto the slopes of an active volcano.
Fortunately, two fans have managed to fix this very real problem as they took to the shooter's creative game mode to build the renowned Mario Kart circuit, DK Mountain (thanks, Go Nintendo). @Its_L010 took to Twitter to share a video of their work with collaborator @Ludo_HT and we must say, the results are really impressive.
You can see a tour of the circuit in all its glory by checking out the video below:
Whether you remember the course from its GCN days in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! or from Mario Kart Wii (we imagine that nobody discovered it for the first time through Mario Kart Tour, but if you did — hi!), the track's twists and turns are instantly recognisable in this big build. And the details are all there! You've got the rolling boulders, the DK signs, even a giant angry face in the side of the mountain itself!
We won't lie, Master Chief wasn't the first character that we imagined for a Mario Kart crossover, though seeing him ride around those corners has got us picturing what the soldier's buggy would look like with a bright drift mark out the back and a banana peel in hand...
What do you make of Mario Kart in Halo? Which course would you like to see next? Start your engines in the comments and let us know!

It's a bit dismissive to discount first time gamers who discovered the MK series on Mario Kart Tour, especially when the app is designed to invite new players into the core games. Maybe show a bit more love and respect for those players and the game itself.
@Scraggly1 Whoa, Nelly. We're talking video games here, not someone's cultural heritage.
@Scraggly1 your comment makes absolutely no sense. In what way, shape or form is this article “dismissive”?
@Savage_Joe This is the part they found offensive. "we imagine that nobody discovered it for the first time through Mario Kart Tour, but if you did — hi!"
@Savage_Joe The author makes a snide jab at players who might have actually experienced the track on a different platform. It's not exactly welcoming journalism.
What I wanted to see next. Rainbow road from Snes Mario kart. That music from Donkey Kong that is a good music and the water level from Donkey Kong 1 Snes. Aquatic Ambience. Now that is a good music.
If your platform doesn't have Mario Kart, improvise. 🤣
Soon they will emulate Switch too.
To me it's just cool to see (not that Project Spark survived on Xbox One) but the Halo's Forge always allowed such cool ideas for builds or modes.
Dreams/Little Big Planet on PlayStation and Game Builder Garage or Mario Maker on Nintendo.
Always cool having these level editor like tools in games or games based around level/game making on console.
