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 Netherworld to play more at their very own speedway.

Between midday and 4pm  on June 4, 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. The Mario Kart-obsessed afternoon has two components: bring your Switch along and play with other aficionados, or feel the need for speed at the venue's Rainbow Road retrospective.

At the latter, they'll be making the most of their own consoles, and letting you do your best on SNES, N64 and Gamecube. We're assuming that there won't be any banana peels to throw around the place, but maybe watch where you're walking anyway.
