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.

Your random video for the day: Reggie loses at Mario Kart 7

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Random | 0 comments

I have absolutely no idea what Reggie was doing in the first half of the race. He straightens things out midway through, but couldn’t recover once he fell into a ditch and got hit by a Piranha Plant.

Thanks to Jake for the tip!

A child’s 3DS Christmas surprise

Hey, it’s like the Nintendo 64 kid all over again. This child was expecting to receive a puzzle, but his parents completely surprised him by getting him a 3DS instead. I’m sure we’ll see something like this when the Wii U launches next year!

Zelda: Skyward Sword hack lets you bathe with Gaepora

Obviously some sort of hack/cheat was used here since Link jumped up high into the air toward the beginning of the video. Not sure why someone would want to bath with Gaepora, but it’s uh… interesting I guess? It’s strange seeing how the lower half of his body isn’t present…

Anyone happen to see this during the VGAs? It was awesome and funny at the same time!

Deadmau5 and Miyamoto meet up at the VGAs

As I’m sure a few of you may know, I’m a pretty big fan of electronic music producer Deadmau5- real name Joel-, so when I saw this picture I couldn’t help but share it with all of you. It’s an image taken when Mr. Mau5 spotted Miyamoto at the VGAs last night, got his armed signed by the man himself (and later tattooed that signature into permanence), and went on to take one of the coolest images I’ve ever seen of Miyamoto.
