The RC Mario Kart Racers

These are the remote-controlled vehicles that bring to life the Mario Kart video game by racing Mario against his sidekick Yoshi. Reenacting their travels through the Mushroom Kingdom, the Italian plumber and beloved green dinosaur can reach speeds of more than 13 mph in their detailed carts that are more than a foot long. A joystick lets operators steer the go-carts forward and backward and from side to side, and the characters lean into turns to conserve speed while real pneumatic tires and front and rear suspension ensure precise handling. The carts can race for up to 40 minutes on a full charge of the lithium-ion batteries, which recharge in 80 minutes with the included AC adapter. Remotes each include two AAA batteries. Ages 6 and up. 13" L x 11 3/4" H x 10 1/2" D. (4 3/4 lbs.)
