Mario Kart Mayhem Day

The classic Nintendo racing game, Mario Kart will be 20 years old this year, and to celebrate, Swindon's Museum of Computing is holding a superb family gaming day on Saturday 14th April.

Visitors can try their hand at every Mario Kart console game in the series, all on the original Nintendo hardware, from the SNES through the N64, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, Wii, DS and 3DS.
 
This wacky racing game which is recognized as one of the greatest game series of all time is being celebrated throughout the day with three exciting competitions:

• Mario Kart Mayhem Challenge: All Day
• DS Multiplayer Competition: 10.00am - 12.30pm
• 3DS Multiplayer Competition: 1.30pm - 4.00pm 

During the first competition participants will play three Mario Kart titles to achieve their best total score, starting with the original Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo.  The player with the highest score will be crowned the museums ‘Super Mario Kart Mayhem Champion’.

Participants of the DS and 3DS Multiplayer Championship are being asked to bring their own Nintendo DS or 3DS console to compete head to head on Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7.

The three winners will have the chance to try karting for real thanks to Swindon F1 Karting and will receive winning trophies from Brightshire Media Management, the two event sponsors.
