Mario Kart Racing Makes The Leap Into Real Life
Mario and Luigi would look really strange in real life, and their frantic Kart racing sessions would look even stranger considering all the banana peels, winged turtle shells and Bullet Bills flying around the track.
But colorful madcap silliness is the name of the game, so when wacky people decide to reenact Mario Kart in real life you can bet the whole thing is going to be an utterly ridiculous affair.
A group of friends from Belleville, Michigan who call themselves the Nothing To Do Crew decided to stage a backyard version of Mario Kart that included roman candles to shoot at balloons and banana peels to slip on.
Not to be outdone, another group of merry pranksters called Base37 decided to take their Mario Kart remake to the streets, and wound up racing through a Westfield shopping mall in London on their zippy little motorized karts.
The Base37 team encountered many shopper shaped obstacles on the track, but they're all experienced racers so they didn't wipe out or get snagged by security, escaping to race another day.
