Have you ever wanted to Meet Super Mario Bros. Mario & Luigi or Pikachu from Pokémon?
Do you think you have what it takes to be a winner in Mario Cart Tournament?
Did you ever wish you could have your picture taken with cool Nintendo props?
Do you want to see what you missed at the Play Nintendo Tour?
The Play Nintendo Tour is bringing a giant videogame playground to locations all across the nation. From June 6 through September 1, the tour will visit 12 cities across the US to give kids and kids-at-heart the chance to play the Nintendo 2DS along with the latest games from everyone's favorite characters. For dates and locations, please visit: http://www.nintendo.com/events/play2014
The best part, The ENTIRE Event was FREE!!
Check out this video of our family highlights
There were lots of great picture taking props. Fans of all ages will love the themed zones filled with iconic items like banana-shaped seats in the Donkey Kong area, a giant Pokéball in the Pokémon section and Yoshi egg chairs in the Yoshi’s Island zone.
We also met Mario, Luigi, & Pikachu. The Website said Donkey Kong and Kirby would also be there, but they never presented themselves during the event we attended.
After completing a scavenger hunt to answer questions at each of the game stations fans can take their filled page of stickers to a claw machine. The stickers are exchanged for one free try at the claw machine filled with Nintendo plushies and T-shirts. To be honest, we waited about 40 minutes for the chance & left empty handed. We did see a few winners walk away from the machine with a prize, but the majority of those who tried were disappointed.
Plus, racers were able to satisfy their need for speed in the Mario Kart racing area. Put your skills to the test in Mario Kart 7 in qualifying rounds. Win for a chance to advance and show off your moves on stage with a giant TV screen featuring the new, high-definition Mario Kart 8 for Wii U.
We tried this more than once before one of us made it onto the finals stage. The competition was fierce and a few of the competitors proved to be true gamers. In the end the 12 year old in our family went on stage to battle and left a Winner!
All contestants that made it to the main stage tournament were given a Mario Kart 8 poster. The Winner (or winners) is given a special certificate of achievement & a Small plushy or key chain plushy. Our Prize was a Mario Key chain Plushy.
We finished the day with a few pictures inside the Giant 2DS!
