There’s playing a video game, and then there’s living in one. For example, creating your own hovering Mario Kart. That’s just what DanCreator/Cardboard Crafts has done. The YouTube content creator uploaded a video this week, showing off his creations. Can we say it’s pretty dang awesome?!
Life-sized and made out of cardboard, the design incorporated mechanisms DanCreator had use in previous projects. Putting together inflatable pool rings mounted to plywood and portable electric air pumps, the kart actually hovers and is apparently fully drivable, which really is a stroke of ingenuity. The video shows how he created the kart is a mostly step-by-step fashion, so it’s possible to make your own.
But that’s not the only thing Mario Kart related DanCreator has made. The same video starts off with the construction of a racer style arcade cabinet using cardboard. A big-screen TV serves as the ultimate screen, and a Nintendo Switch as the controls. Hence, a player can sit and race just like they’re in the game. The building of the cabinet looks a bit more complex, but could also be easily build by a person with the right tools and know-how.
And if you’re looking for something a bit smaller- like hamster sized, DanCreator has another project in his Mario based repertoire. Starring Natsu, the Jungarian hamster, in all his furry adorableness, the last project presents an almost perfectly recreated Mario Bros. playground. Complete with twirling fire bars, castles, lots of pipes and hamster snack at the end, the darling maze-like platform is sure to be a hit with the furry little friends.
