Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hello! With Mario Kart World on the horizon, we thought it would be a good time for us to share a very fun story about Mario Kart 7 and how we built real-life Mario Karts when we launched that game. This story has a lot of twists and turns like how a family friend company like Nintendo came to partner with a show on MTV called "Pimp My Ride" and a haunted hotel. Yes... haunted! It's so fun to look back on this incredible project so we hope you enjoy the video.
