【1984 Archives】

While driving around in Tokyo today984 Archives Hugh Jackman stumbled upon something amazing.

At a red light, Jackman looked out the passenger-side window of his car and saw a group of people idling in go karts while dressed up as characters from the Super Mario universe.

An elated Jackman identified a Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser as they put the pedal to the metal, zooming off to unknown fates once the light turned green.

The group of racers was likely participating in a Mario Kart-themed tour of Tokyo organized by the company MariCar. It looks like a really amazing experience, though hopefully it lives to see many more days before Nintendo's lawyers shut them down, as they hope to.

Unfortunately, you need to have a driver's license accepted by Japan in order to participate. It makes sense that they don't allow just anyone to drive around the streets of Tokyo in go karts.

Hopefully Jackman has an international driving permit so he can take to the streets as his favorite Super Mario character -- or maybe just throw everyone off and go as Wolverine. Now that's a crossover we want to see.
