MAR10 is Mario Day

Overview

How many hours have you spent playing the best karting game ever made? Too many? We'll throw a shell at that idea. When it comes to Mario Kart, there's no such thing as too much. In fact, you should race on out of the house and down to B. Lucky & Sons to show off your skills.

From 5pm on Tuesday, March 10, the Fortitude Valley bar will become a haven for everyone that knows just when to sling a ghost at their opponents — and just how to press buttons in the right order to get an early boost. If you're keen to feel the need for speed playing Mario Kart, you can do so at the venue for free as part of its MAR10 is Mario Day celebrations.

While both entry and mashing Mario Kart buttons are free, you will need your wallet for beverages.

There'll be prizes on offer, too — including if you dress up as Luigi, Peach or whichever other Mario Kart character takes your fancy.

We're assuming that there won't be any banana peels to throw around the place, but maybe watch where you're walking anyway.
