This video of an IRL Mario Kart battle mode comes from YouTubers amieeeGO. If you can get over some over-eager humor from a few bros who sound like they're doing their best Koopalings impressions, there's an idea in here that looks pretty fucking awesome.

I mean, what part of attaching colored balloons to remote-controlled monsters trucks and then pitting them against one another to see who can pop the other's with the pointy side of a chopstick doesn't sound awesome?

On a related note, you know what would make the real Mario Kart even better than it already is? Well, other than a solid battle mode? Some more melee items. The super horn showed that the game still has a ton of unexplored potential, if you ask me.
