Most people probably just build their Mario Kart Lego kits and then make vroom noises while moving them around a table. But not Joseph Herscher. He conjured up an impressive Rube Goldberg track that sees the mustached plumber winning a race full of pencils, strings, an ironing board, and even a moving green shell.
On YouTube, Herscher shared his impressive Mario Kart creation on his Joseph’s Machines channel. The race is viewed twice in the video–seen below–from different camera perspectives. Donkey Kong faces a pretty terrible fate in the race, and how Mario overtakes Baby Luigi at the end is so cool.
The Mario Kart Lego kits came out a couple of months ago, with six different options available. Additionally, there’s a 1,972-piece Mario Kart display model set to release in May for $150. It’s not meant for racing but instead meant for looking awesome on your desk or shelf.
Meanwhile, we should learn more about the next Mario Kart video game in just over a week at the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct. So far, people have pored over footage of what appears to be Mario Kart 9, spotting 23 different characters. It’s speculated that the new racing game will feature 24 competitors at a time, doubling up from Mario Kart 8’s 12 racers.
