This photo was taken next to the National Museum of Nature and Science, in Tokyo. I'm submitting this shot to the Urban Photography Contest - Week 1 hosted by .
A certain morning in Tokyo, as I was walking around, I spotted a few Kart Drivers dressed up in Super Mario costumes, as if they had popped out of the Super Nintendo and materialised themselves in real life. 🤗
I barely had the time to take the shot as the Super Mario Kart Drivers were already taking off, after getting the green light from the traffic light. 🚥
The race was on... and the Kart Drivers wouldn't wait for me to grab my camera and take a photo. If they did that, they would surely end up in last place - and nobody likes losers, specially in competitive city such as the bustling Tokyo.
I was lucky enough to be able to capture a single shot with my smartphone before they quickly took off, chasing each other and looking out for power ups in the middle of Tokyo's traffic. I wonder who has won... 😁
I invite you to participate in the contest, too. Here's the announcement post: Urban Photography Contest - Week 1.
