This Kart Driver is High on Mushrooms and Ready to Kill!

By Uncle Creepy
October 25th, 2011

The second of the three short films from G4's Epictober celebration (which we first told you about here) has arrived, and it offers a truly insane take on one of the most beloved video game franchises ever! Check it out!

Kart Driver tells the story of Mario as he searches for his on-and-off again girlfriend, Pauline, but we doubt you've ever seen a imagining of the Super Mario Bros series quite like this. Kart Driver was co-written and directed by Drew Daywalt. His co-writer is none other than G4's Stephen Johnson.

Kart Driver pays homage to Mario's first love, Pauline, and first nemesis, Donkey Kong. But don't worry; you'll recognize a few old friends here, too.

On to the goods! Look for the third flick tomorrow!
