Weekend randomosity: Super Mario Kart played with an exercise bike

Super Mario Kart just got more realistic. One fan has combined an exercise bike with an Arduino microcontroller, sensors, and switches into a comparable SNES controller.

According to YouTube uploader “statuswoe”:

“Peddling at a certain rate holds down the A button to accelerate, left and right are buttons on the handlebars and there is a red button in the middle of the handlebars for using special items.”

I could imagine this becoming tiring after a short while, but it’s certainly a unique way to play Super Mario Kart.
