Super World Karts GP is a possibility for the Wii U. Nintendo’s console has been added in as a stretch goal on Kickstarter and if funds exceed $25,000 AUD, creator Paul Hamilton will bring the game to the eShop.

Hamilton will first need to raise enough money for Super World Karts GP itself. Only ten days remain in the Kickstarter campaign, which requires a little more than $10,000 AUD for successful funding. Hamilton will need to collect $16,000 AUD by December 23.

You can check out the Kickstarter page here.
