Nintendo is holding a special Mario Kart time-trial tournament in London next week and you're invited!
All you need to do to take part in the Mario Kart 7 time-trial tournament is visit the Nintendo 3DS stand outside John Lewis at Westfield Stratford City between February 13th-19th.
So if you think you're a Mario Kart master and want to win some exclusive Nintendo prizes, you should take part.
The Mario Kart 7 tournament is just one reason to visit the Nintendo 3DS stand during half-term.
Also, If you buy both together, you'll also get a £10 Nintendo 3DS eShop voucher which you can spend on Virtual Console downloads, 3D Classics games and more.
There will be plenty of 3DS games to play at the stand too, including these games:
Mario Kart 7
Super Mario 3D Land
Resident Evil Revelations (Over 16's only)
Tekken 3D Prime Edition (Over 16's only)
LEGO Harry Potter
Nintendogs + Cats
One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP
Bit Trip Saga
PES 2012
Tetris
Nintendo e-shop titles
Also, seeing as the event takes place near the Olympic Park, you'll be able to play Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games. Mario & Sonic will be there, too!
Finally, there is a half term hero treasure hunt for 3DS owners. To take part you should bring your 3DS along but Nintendo is also hiring out consoles for the day for those who don't have one.

Is it wrong that I go to mainly pick up some StreetPass hits? Most likely. Do I care. NO!
No not at all. I won't be going to this event but if one was closer i would go along just for StreetPass as well!
Me too! I only live a 15min drive away and my Mrs is a shopaholic - so I have no excuse huh?!!
My brother goes past Westfield Stratford on his way to work. Its a shame he doesn't take his 3DS with him as I'm sure he'd get loads of StreetPass hits. And where there's StreetPass hits there's Puzzle pieces - he's been mining away at mine for months, now I think it's my turn.
The 16th is my birthday, and we may be heading to Londond for the weekend to see my aunt and uncle, so I'll see if I can get to this :P
I saw the word Tournament and instantly thought streetpass! I live in Southampton and have been looking for a time to go to London and this seems ideal! Wonder if I'll ever get the achievement of 100 people in a day..... Unlikely and hmmmm at a tournament will many people have their 3ds in sleep mode. Eek! Need more things like this
Officially now going to make the trip to London THAT weekend
anyone else heading there on tuesday?
nice little 3 hour train ride for me
