Nintendo Wii accessories are usually pretty pointless but we’ll make an exception for CTA Digital’s Wii Inflatable Kart. It looks like it could make marathon Mario Kart sessions a million times more fun (a statistic we just didn’t think was possible). Sales of the kart are also supporting a charity so we’re basically morally obligated to stuff our adult selves into the driving seat. Read on to see a fully-grown man racing the Wii Inflatable Kart…
The $40 Wii Inflatable Kart will bring a faint amount of realism to Nintendo Wii racing games including Mario Kart and Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing. There’s a space in its steering wheel to slot the Wiimote (with or without Wii MotionPlus) but besides that its requirements are as low-tech as some hearty lungfuls of air.
CTA Digital says the Wii Inflatable Kart is for kids but it’ll take up to 330lbs in weight, so most adults should be able to hop in too. The guy in the video above certainly seems to be enjoying himself.
As well as bringing back childhood memories of causing chaos in arcades, the Wii Inflatable Kart is being used to raise cash for charity, Kids Are Heroes, and 8-year-old Ricky Springer who races real karts in aid of fellow sufferers of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder.
CTA Digital will be showing off the Wii Inflatable kart at E3 later this month. While we’ll be focused on more cutting edge kit like Natal and Playstation Move, we’d be lying if we said we don’t want our very own kart too. You do too, admit it!
