Session fun rating: 7/10
I was on vacation in Quebec City and was strolling through the Galeries de la Capitale shopping mall when I was stunned to see a Mario Kart Arcade GP cabinet! I didn't have much free time, but I just HAD to play this at least once in my life. Using Donkey Kong, I played through one race on a jungle track.
While the game was pretty fun, it was really fucking weird not having a "hop" button to drift. The drifting was done automatically by the game and I don't think there were mini-turbos. While the normal green shells and bombs showed up, I also found a really cool tornado item that sweeps the field in front of the player's kart. I'm glad I got to try this rare arcade game.
