Mario Kart by Carrera 1.First This one will bring any dad fond memories from his childhood. Carrera Toys has been around for 55 years, they are known for slot car racing. Their toys are classic, but also have been revamped with new characters that attracts children (and adults alike). It is no surprise that Carrera would incorporate video game sensations Mario and Yoshi—Mario Kart now is not only on your T.V. screen, but also in your living room floor. Two classics in one. Let’s be real, this toy is as much for dad, as it is for the kids. During the pandemic, it’s been extremely challenging to get parents to pull their children away from screens. The Carrera 1.First offers characters young children associate with, as well as a toy that gets them building, playing, and racing. Join the fun in this a head-to-head race between Mario and Yoshi. After you have step up the track (it all snaps seamlessly), added the spinners, and powered the hub with 4 batteries, you’re ready to plug the two controllers into the hub and begin the race. Place both racers on the track and start racing—the track is magnetized, this allows you to control Mario and Yoshi as they move through the track. The controllers are fairly easy to manage. The trick is to push when you want to go fast, and release on a turn to slow down—otherwise you’ll fall off the track. This is the perfect gift for any young boy—or dad, who wants to reconnect with his childhood and teach his little one how to properly race. For more information, www.carrera-toys.com
