In our scramble to put as many crossover category toys to the test this year (think Skylanders, Wappydog, Angry Bird plush etc) we’d somehow almost missed this plumber based box of racing good ness. The Mario Kart Battle pack features a Mario and Yoshi sat in their rides and an assortment of track accessories for you to establish where your hairpins and chicances should be placed. whilst you race the lights on the nift RC unit have lights which each represent an action you’d find on the console version,
- Mushroom: Gives a speed boost
- Green Shell: Sends your opponent hurtling backwards
- Lightning: Sends your opponent backwards, disabling them for several seconds
- Banana: ‘Shoots’ the kart behind and pushes it backwards
- Star: Causes your opponent to lose control
Added sound effects make this about the best non-pixellated based racing system around. Head over here for yours.
