Mario Treats New Yorkers to Free Cab Rides to Celebrate Mario Kart Wii
April 22, 2008 | 1:12 PM PST



On Thursday, April 24th, unsuspecting New Yorkers will be in for a shock as they call for a cab... and wind up with a plumber?

That's Nintendo's intent, as Mario will be in town that day to promote his newest game, Mario Kart Wii, by "helping commuters race through the city before they get racing with Mario Kart Wii" on April 27th.

The promotion is scheduled to run from 8-10 a.m. and 12-2 p.m on Thursday at the Sheraton Hotel, located at 811 7th Ave., between 52nd and 53rd streets. If you're lucky enough to get a ride with The Man, feel free to take some pictures and tell us all about it!
