Continuing their media frenzy, Nintendo are about to launch Nintendo Mario Kart: Double Dash! with another event. To mark the launch of the game on Monday, November 17, 2003, Nintendo will stage an event at the Universal Orlando Resort with Professional racecar driver, Michael Andretti and actress, Melissa Joan Hart competing with consumers in a real go-kart race.
A preliminary game play competition was held in Denver, CO, on November 7, where consumers were able to compete on this new kart-racing game before the official public release. The winner from this competition received a paid trip with a friend to Universal Studios, FL to compete against the preliminary winner from Orlando. These two winners will race against Michael Andretti and Melissa Joan Hart in a real kart race. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! will be available November 17, at an MSRP of USD 49.99.
