Those of you who would like to race in Mario Kart in real life have a chance in three cities as the Mushroom Rally will be kicking off soon. Denver, Los Angeles, Houston, and Miami are the four cities currently tapped to host races, which will have normal people dressed as Mario Kart characters racing in several heats to earn a spot in the finals in Las Vegas. We have some of the details below, and you can sign up to be a part of the races here. We say join and race as soon as you can because this doesn't look like it has Nintendo's seal of approval on it.

There will be 20 spots in the final with three ways in which racers can win a place on the grid in Las Vegas:

1. Having the fastest lap time in your city.

2. Collecting the most stars in your city (Top 3 in the country will go to Vegas!)

3. A lottery – Every person that purchases a ticket to the event , will be entered into a lottery. The winner will be announced through Facebook live – so as long as you have purchased a ticket you have the chance to win!

On race-days, racers will race once, with the winners of each preliminary race, racing in a second race for prizes. They'll also be lots of games to play on the day where you'll be able to win stars which add up and could be sending you to Vegas. We'll have lots of prizes on the day as well as entertainment including a DJ to party after the races.
