So Mario Kart is pretty much one of the most fun party games EVER invented.

If you deny that, then please stop reading. If you agree, and are based in Sydney, then we want you to come along to a community event being run by Nintendo to help AusGamers emerge as Mario Kart Racing King Site-type thing.

All you need to do is be over 18 years of age, happy to play Mario Kart and equally happy to trek into the city. Details are this Thursday evening in Sydney City (more specifics for those coming), from 6:30pm until 10:30pm. Free food and drinks as well as rounds upon rounds of Mario Karts from each iteration.

Prizes on the night include Nintendo 3DS' signed by the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet (he was also in David Fincher's The Game), and a grand prize of a replica Mario Kart trophy.

We need 10 people in total, so it's first in, best dressed. But please, only put your hand up if you're keen on coming. Hit us up in the Comments section below if you're keen!

Watch Nintendo's official video invite to the event embedded below.

Nintendo Australia have let us know that they'll be filming some footage for a new TV spot for Mario Kart Wii - anyone interested in being on the ad should put on their best fun-time face and get to one of these two locations between the 9th and 17th of April:

Our camera crews will be filming the Mario Kart Wii action everyday between 10:00am – 5:00pm, so simply get practising, come along and play and we’ll capture the fun! For your best chance to make the cut in the final TV commercial, make sure to bring a group of four down to participate in the fun.
