Players will be divided into two groups based on their age, and both groups will play Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The first age group, 12 and Younger, will play as Mario on the Nintendo DS “Luigi’s Mansion” course using Standard Kart, Standard Wheels and Super Glider. The second age group, 13 and Older, will play as Bowser on the Game Boy Advance “Bowser Castle 1” course using Standard Kart, Standard Wheels and Super Glider. The player with the best Time Trial entry in each age group at the end of the two-day event at each location will qualify for the Nintendo World Championships 2017!"

I would love to do that. Unfortunately, I'd have to travel from Tennessee to Florida just to try.

I will be attending the Minnesota one.

Will our guy John 'Fucking' Numbers be there?

I hate the Bowser Castle 1 GBA course anyways. Especially if I play online; that shortcut around the second 180° exploit is still used.

Nintendo World Championships, open to Americans and Canadians, excluding our friends from Quebec.

It's not logical to try and open up more locations, but I still find it funny.
