Our Editorial Review
Product Description Relive the halcyon days of one's youth, spent on the back seat of the bus, not with some teenage damsel on one's arm - but with Nintendo in hand, of course. And we're not talking Wii. Admit it, the happiest days of your life were spent plugged in to some tiny 80s or 90s gadget playing games in which one had to fetch plumbing supplies, collect bananas or avoid ghosts. Simultaneous equations, girls, music and the rest could all wait. The means by which all this teenage timewarping can be achieved? A fully realistic 1/32 scale model of your favourite arcade game character, atop a full mobile 1/32 scale go-kart, of course. With a simple remote controller that enables forward/back and reverse turns, this tiny kart is a perfect introduction to R/C vehicles for smaller drivers. Better still, the solidly built Mario is fully posable, meaning no end of hot role-play action, stunts and hands-free driving. Oh yes. Put one's self in the driving seat and things get more competitive, however. As the engine lights glare, one can engage in a spot of arcade game character racing and duel to the death. Or at least until the batteries run out. Scintillating.

I just bought this for my little brothers 12th birthday he was excited when he saw it he played with it for less than a minute before maro went crazy and drove all around the room without a single button being pushed. Sometimes he choosed to work other times he doesnt. As a collectors item it's nice but as a toy for children it's very risky.
Very fun, but probably doesn't rate with comparable items. Posted 21 January 2006
The kart is of a decent build - although Mario's hair appears to be ginger for some strange reason. His head turns round and his arms are poseable, so you can go for a daredevil no-hands drive if you feel the need. The receiving range is reasonable, around 15 feet or so I'd say. Driving and steering is a little disappointing - there's only a forward button and a reverse button that reverses the cart in a backwards turn, which is the only way to turn.Still recommended for those who love the Nintendo aspect!
