Japanese American here. I researched about this topic in Japanese, and I have to say, Nintendo is totally in the right to do this... Although it may not seem like it, this company was tarnishing Mario Kart's reputation, since most people who saw the go carts thought it was dangerous... It was popular among tourists, but mostly hated by locals... Even if Nintendo lost this case, it was important for them to sue, to not be associated with them, since some people seriously thought this was a legitimate Nintendo thing...
