Mario will be trading in his stinky plunger for the steering wheel of a taxi cab in New York City this weekend as Nintendo prepares to launch Mario Kart Wii this weekend. Actually, he won't be driving the thing, just flagging them down for you. You'll remember a couple days ago when we told you the details of the launch event in NYC and the 'Driving School' in Houston. Anyways, city dwellers will have the pleasure of being treated to a free cab ride courtesy of Mario. Here are the details:

April 24, 2008

Sheraton Hotel

811 7th Ave., between 52nd and 53rd streets

8-10 a.m. and 12-2 p.m.

There's not much more to say about this other than I think it's pretty cute. The full details of the event can be found after the jump.
