Not sure what you’ve done with your new-found freedom from quarantine but a group of friends in NYC decided to prank the city’s citizen by recreating one of the most iconic video games: Mario Kart.
Creator Caleb Simpson and his friend Irving Salazar dawned full Mario and Luigi costumes before taking to the busy streets of New York City to race around in go-karts. From Times Square to Central Park, these pranksters, along with their cameramen Gabe Desanti and Matt June, rode around, waved to New Yorkers, and threw banana peels for the other to “slip” on.
Simpson’s video, available on his Youtube page, perfectly captures the positive impact if this wholesome prank. Everywhere they went, these pranksters were met with smiles, cheers, and requests for photos. Even police officers working gruesome shifts at traffic stops grinned and chatted with Mario and Luigi at stoplights.
