Relive the halcyon days of one's youth, spent on the back seat of the bus, not with some teenage damsel on one's arm - but with Nintendo in hand, of course. And we're not talking Wii. Admit it, the happiest days of your life were spent plugged in to some tiny 80s or 90s gadget playing games in which one had to fetch plumbing supplies, collect bananas or avoid ghosts. Simultaneous equations, girls, music and the rest could all wait.

The means by which all this teenage timewarping can be achieved? A fully realistic 1/32 scale model of your favourite arcade game character, atop a full mobile 1/32 scale go-kart, of course. With a simple remote controller that enables forward/back and reverse turns, this tiny kart is a perfect introduction to R/C vehicles for smaller drivers.

Better still, the solidly built Mario is fully posable, meaning no end of hot role-play action, stunts and hands-free driving. Oh yes.

Put one's self in the driving seat and things get more competitive, however. As the engine lights glare, one can engage in a spot of arcade game character racing and duel to the death. Or at least until the batteries run out. Scintillating.
