Make sure you supervise your children; those blue shells come out of nowhere.

Toymaker Jakks Pacific, through a partnership with Nintendo, will be adding the new “Super Mario Kart Ride-On” to its collection of 6V ride-ons, in stores on March 7. For the first time ever, kids will actually get the chance to take a spin in Mario’s ride.

Based on Mario’s kart from the Nintendo 3DS title Mario Kart 7, the ride-on is equipped with a range of sound effects from the game as well as on-road and off-road tires that can be switched out.

"It's an exciting little runner that we expect to sit competitively within other 6V ride-ons and with it being so relevant to the Nintendo Mario Kart, it should do very well," said Jakks Pacific’s Ken Goodison.

Mario's kart is currently up for pre-order from Toys "R" Us for $200 USD and is anticipated to hit the UK by fall/winter of this year.

I should buy a couple of these for my future children to play with. I could get a set of 12 and have a track in our yard.

When I saw the headline I thought this was a new feature in Mario Kart 8 where one car could "ride on" another car to merge them together to make a Double Dash-esque kart.

Could be a cool piece of "furniture" for a bachelor pad.

I thought it's something terrible because of "Make sure you supervise your children" lol
But this ride-on car is worth the price. My friend had to buy something for his nephew and this was the first thing we saw at the mall.

Thanks!

Screw the weight limit. I'm parking my ass inside that thing and going around the block!
