Remote Control Mario Kart toys tested, don’t drift but do shoot (video)

To win at Mario Kart on a console you need to master two things: drifting and gear-ups. Half of this is replicated in these R/C Mario Kart toys, which we saw standing still last month but now can finally see in action motoring around what looks to be either Corporate Carpet Raceway or CDR Castle. The controller emits that familiar jingling item select sound if you\’ve snagged a virtual power-up, and you may see how mushrooms boost your speed while banana peels cause your opponents\’ cars to freak out. Sadly there’s no drifting to be found in this version of the game, but we\’re wondering if just a little tape on the rear wheels wouldn\’t help address that shortcoming.
