Want to play Mario Kart Wii a week early. If so, GAME are running Mario Kart Wii tournaments throughout 30 of its stores on Saturday 5th April - a week before the game's release. The tournament requires 4 competitors to get the fastest lap in an unnamed course, and these times will then be entered onto a leader board. The fastest time from each store and two winners from an Official Nintendo Magazine competition will win a £250 voucher and an all expenses-paid trip to Mercedes Word on Saturday 12th April to compete for the ultimate prize - a Mario themed VW Beetle.
For those of you who don't get a top time, not only do you get the chance to play the game before its release, but you will also get a certificate with your lap time on, and you'll be entered into a prize draw for a £50 GAME voucher.
So now the all important question, is this being run at my local Game store? You'll be able to participate in this event at the following GAME stores, in alphabetical order.
