rupi Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Hi, A few days ago, after playing Super Mario Kart Wii, I build a Mario minifig for my son, then I looked at it and tried to build the kart. A small MOC but it was fun to build. I don't know if this belongs in the town theme but if not a moderator can move it please. Thank's for looking brickshelf folder Flickr Quote
MarcusV3 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Wow! That looks great Just like the real thing! I like the way you did those black and white stripes on the side It would be really cool if you could make some more for different characters, maybe Boo? He's my favorite Edited January 22, 2010 by MarcusV3 Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 It looks very good and it made me laugh. Thanks Quote
BlueBard Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Simply wonderful, I really like the cartoonish style and the choice for the face! Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Very clever - what an adorable little Mario vehicle. I love those brick-built black and white stripes. While Mariokart may be licensed, it's not quite LEGO Licensed, so I think Town is just fine for this fantastic little creation. In fact, quite deserving of a front-page blog, with one slight modification. Great job Rupi. I'd love to build one for a little EB Racing competition (kinda like a Snow Box Derby). Quote
Mac-K Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Wow, this is a sweet little build Rupi! It's so sleek, it looks like a lot of fun to zoom around on the floor. The only problem is, I'm sorry to say this, with such a great little kart, I know I'm not the only one who will want to see karts for the other racers too! Nicely done! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Totally AWESOME ! What a great MOC 'Rupi' ! Looks like it just popped out of a video game ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
RileyC Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I love the game. I love the moc. Mario looks really great I love him! How about Luigi's kart next? Quote
Rick Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Great rendition of the Nintendo classic. I also like how you've built Mario from relatively common minifig parts, but nevertheless he's instantly recognizable. Next to being frontpaged, Shadows has also blogged your MOC on Classic-Town.net. Be sure to add a picture to our Classic-Town flickr group. Quote
marcosbessa Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 It's super cool! Totally recognisable and what a simply but brilliant built! We could have a Karts Race at our next big event with a big track and lots of nice stuff around it, just like the game.... what do you say, Rupi? Quote
RoryoCox Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Cool. I love the design. The SNOT techniques are well done and the colours are good. The stripes on the side are great. Quote
gravysam Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 amazing! the best video game moc ive seen in a while. Quote
rupi Posted January 23, 2010 Author Posted January 23, 2010 Thank's for the nice comments About building some other characters from Mario kart I would like that, I choose Mario because it was the easiest to make with regular Lego parts. But I will check my parts boxes to see what other characters I can do Quote
WhiteFang Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 That looks like our Pizza Face, Moderator, Erdbeereis! Seriously, Rupi, a great piece of creation that you have done down there. Enjoyed it very much, especially when I am a big fan of Mario Kart, racing against those Mario characters. Hope you have more plans for other Mario characters too! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Toa_Of_Justice Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Great job! My favorite parts are the quadruple exhaust pipes, the inverted rear tires, and the front end. Could you please provide either instructions or at least an exploded view? I am very curious as to how you managed to attach the side elements to the rest of the vehicle (especially near the center). -Toa Of Justice Quote
Big Cam Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Haha, very nice, that mustache is perfect for Mario. I like it alot, are you planning to do the rest of the characters? Quote

As for the building instructions I will try to post a picture of the kart with some parts separated. But the connection you mentioned is made with a bracket 1x1 attached to the headlight brick. You can see it in this photo. Quote

But the connection you mentioned is made with a bracket 1x1 attached to the headlight brick. You can see it in this photo. I see it now. Thanks! That is a very clever build. By the way, how hard was it to invert the rear tires? I tried it myself, and it was very hard to do, but I was eventually able to do it. -Toa Of Justice Quote
jaredchan Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 My friend once has a mini mario toy kart. Yours looks really cute and just like that real thing! Quote
