Nintendo Gets Court Order Halting Real Life Mario Go-Kart Racing

Nintendo Has Been Trying To Stop Real Life Mario Go-Kart Racing In Tokyo For Years 

nintendoThere is some epic samurai style litigation going on right now in Tokyo. Nintendo is suing a small go-kart company for copyright infringement. The go-kart company has held the video game giant at bay for nearly 2 years.
The suit revolves around the Tokyo go-kart company renting Mario franchise-themed costumes to customers so they can race around the streets of Tokyo.
The company was an especially popular service with foreign tourists. Tourists made up about 90% of its clientele. Customers only needed an international driver’s license to drive the go-kart on the street.
The video game maker can finally declare victory. The owners of all things Mario prevailed in a Tokyo courtroom Thursday.
The video game giant argued that the term “MariKar” is a well-known reference to its game named Mario Kart. Nintendo lawyers also argued MariCar did not have permission to use Mario character costumes commercially. Additionally, Nintendo argued the go-kart company did not have permission to use footage and photos from Nintendo games for publicity purposes.
