My wife and I got online the other night with Mario Kart and it is the bomb….
Go Marlins!!!!
@ManOfTeal: I played last night as well. As fun as Mario Kart was in the past, the online portion is what will keep me playing for months!
I submitted my score for the tournament and right now I’m beating all of my friends with my score, but I’m nowhere near the leader. I’m really looking forward to these tournaments more often.
