Man drives Mario Kart over Tokyo Highway

  • 5 years ago
TOKYO — A man went full Mario Kart on a Japanese highway crossing over to, get this, Rainbow Bridge. Nintendo vibes anyone?

According to TBS News, a man boosted down a highway in Tokyo and went all Mario Kart, and by that we mean he literally raced through a highway and a bridge in a Go-Kart, making the hopes and dreams of all Mario fans a reality, what a hero.

Mario was happily collecting coins down the Metropolitan Expressway in Odaiba, a man-made island in Tokyo Bay, around 9 p.m. on Sunday until a clerk at a toll gate called the po-po on our hero. Probably Wario.

The po-po quickly joined the race, but sadly for them, Japanese Mario had some blue turtle shells under his sleeve.

After bamboozling police, Mario quickly took a turn and drove away into Rainbow Bridge. Yes, that's the actual name of the bridge he took. Why Rainbow Bridge though? That's like the hardest course. Hopefully, he didn't run into any banana peels on the way out.

If you want to make your Mario dreams come true, you can! In Tokyo, Mario Kart enthusiasts can drive karts on designated roads without helmets and seat belts as long as they keep it under 60 kilometers, or 37.28 miles, per hour. Just make sure you don't go on highway—unless you're going to make a video about it.
