Earlier in the year I was in Japan for a business trip and while we were in the car, we pulled up to the following scene in the picture below. I was SO BLOWN AWAY!! How awesome is that that SUPER MARIO came to life on the actual streets and roads of Tokyo, Japan?

Now this wasn't some track or amusement park but on the actual 3-4 lane road we were travelling on. Who would be so crazy to try this?
~ ME!! ~
Sadly, I didn't get the chance to. Work was too rushed and tight for time off to enjoy - but I have found out the following for the next time I get the chance to return!
Price to play: JPY 8,000/pax (About AUD$90)
Time: 2 Hours of FUN! + Tokyo scenic tour like no other
Specs of the "MariCar" - For all you automotive enthusiast

And to cap it off, here is a video I found online amidst the research I was doing to try this out.
QUESTION:
- Would you try this out given the chance? - I can attest it is pretty dangerous as you sit very low below even a regular car's standard (see my first and last photo and we were in a common sized sedan) - Do leave your answers in the comments below :)
And the race is on!
I hope you enjoyed a slice of my travel experiences in Japan.
Thank you for following and your support!
