It turns out that Mario Kart has the capability of boosting your actual skills on the road. According to a recent study, those who play Nintendo’s flagship racing game using a steering-wheel accessory and motion controls can become better drivers. The data gathered from this study shows that playing Mario Kart improved participants’ visuomotor control skills on the target dot task after five hours of training. After 10 training sessions, participants showed even greater improvement.
is that why there are soo many dumb-ass drivers on the road today who don’t know how to drive, why would mario cart make you a better driver.
You didn’t read it at all, did you.
Read the article and open up your fucken damn mind!!
“I’m trying to free your mind, Piero”
“Free my mind. Free my Mind”
my guess is that you ‘DIDN’T READ, DIDN’T READ, DIDN’T READ’.
So you’re telling me people got paid to play 50+ hours of Mario Kart? Where was I when this was happening?
Now I have a reason to start drag racing, follow by throwing banana peels at people’s cars :D
There are SO many people where I live that I would love to throw banana peels and koopa shells at. They all need to slow their ass down!
Not sure where drag racing fits, bananas are fine tho.

“using a steering-wheel accessory and motion controls can become better drivers.”
aww I only have 3DS =P
Oh well.
isn’t there an accessory steering wheel for 3ds?
So, is this why I seem to drive more safely than almost everybody else in my city? Or is it just that I have more common sense? Hmm…..
Seriously, nearly everybody around here drives like bats out of hell. Even when I’m going the maximum speed limit, people go around me. Even when it doesn’t accomplish a single thing. It’s like everyone got their driver’s license at the Autopia ride at Disneyland.
Drive faster
I’m not a crazy idiot like other drivers.
Guess who’s getting their drivers licence on their first try!
I’ve been putting off learning to drive for years because I believe I’d be awful. If this is true, time to start learning!
That’s why you learn, so that you’re not awful.
That’s a loooooot of Mario Kart…
mario kart go when?
I actually got excited for this until I read it’s only for people that use motion controls with the wheel, oh well.
I actually feel like Mario Kart makes me a more dangerous driver. Back when MK8 first came out and I was playing it like crazy my gut reaction when driving IRL was to rear end people to get past them lol
Wheel motion controls is the only way I play Mario Kart ever since Mario Kart Wii
