This group is for any and all who wish to carry the torch and continue to pass time playing THE greatest Nintendo karting game ever made.

Bananas will be plopped on faces, mid powerslide, from the top shelf, followed by an upside-down box on your nose. 4 player is fun, but it's just too slow, so 3 …
