Fans of any age can appreciate this!

Granted, it's been a couple years since I've had a few friends together for an expletive laced, controller throwing game of Mario Kart. We used to play it for hours on end in college, and sometimes even until the sun came up.


If you're looking at that article above and thinking to yourself "Those carts look like Mario Karts",  well then my friend, you're not wrong!

In celebration of Mario Kart 8 getting its official release TODAY, Super Target stores have given themselves a Mario Makeover.

After reading about this earlier this week, I had to go check this out in person, and after seeing it firsthand at the North Target in Rochester, I can already tell you right now that this isn't going to end well...

First of all, I would totally load one of these souped up karts with assorted fruits and veggies then begin running laps around the entire store like a gamer gone possesed.

As I'm bobbing and weaving through the isles I'd be chucking random tomatoes and avocados at customers heads.  If someone were to actually challenge me to a race? Well you'd best be mindful of wayward banana peels being tossed in your direction hoping to slip you up if you were to ever take a lead.

Yeah, I might be going to jail over this one.  But at least it'll give me one hell of a great story to tell.    

I mean, just watch this video below and tell me you wouldn't get the itch to take at least one lap around the store... so cool!
