Kids today will never understand the intense rivalry of Mario Kart. We were loyal to one character and one alone, determined to send our opponents reeling with banana peels and slow-motion spells. And oh, how sweet were those question mark boxes that gave us power ups like temporary invincibility? If childhood memories are flooding your mind right about now, you won’t want to miss this epic event coming to Texas in just a few months. It’s a real-life version of the nostalgic Nintendo game, putting a nostalgic twist on go-karting.

A real-life version of Mario Kart is coming to Houston this year. Come dressed as your favorite character and battle it out for a chance to go to Vegas and compete in the final round!
