Marioke: Mario Kart ft. Live 8 Piece Band

Event information

AS SEEN AT MCM COMIC-CON!

Mamma Mia! We've put together an 8 piece band to soundtrack everyone's favourite racing game - whilst you have the chance to race on a huge screen!

Our band will be playing all the best bits from Mario Kart through the years, including classic courses, newer tracks and the starman theme - they'll even speed up for the final lap! (don't worry though, we won't be throwing shells or banana peels at you).

We'll be choosing audience members at random to compete against each other throughout the night for the all important 'Marioke Gold Cup'!

We'll also have more screens for opportunities to play other games on the night as well as themed cocktails and 20% off food before 8pm so you can re-fuel before racing.

As a great Italian plumber once said....Lets-a-go!

FAQ
-------

Will my ticket guarantee me a race on the big screen?
Your ticket will guarantee you entry to the venue to experience the band performances. To be in with a chance of racing on the big screen you'll need to turn up for race registration between 6pm-7.30pm. Our host will pull names at random and you'll need to make yourself known and get to the stage asap!

Is this event for serious gamers?
Whilst we welcome a wide range of experienced Mario Kart players to Marioke, our events focus more on the atmosphere created by having an 8 piece band playing along to incredible music from our favourite game, with a smaller focus on the competitive side so please keep that in mind when joining us!

What version of Mario Kart will you be using?
We'll be using Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch
How many players and races will there be per round?
We'll run races based on a 'winner stays on' format so we can get as many people racing as possible. The final will consist of those with the best winning streaks throughout the night.

How will you select players?
Players will be drawn at random by our host. To be eligible for the draw you'll need to arrive for race registration between 6pm and 7.30pm. Every round will have 3 players drawn at random (along with the winner of the previous race) - we'll move quickly through this so please stay aware, you'll have 10 seconds to make yourself known to us before we move on to the next pick!

What engine class will you be running? Any other specs I should know about?
150cc / normal items / all characters allowed / no smart steering / no auto acceleration

Will you have other games to play for people who don't get selected?
We'll have a small selection other games at the back of the room available for those who don't get selected to play in the races on the big screen. These will be included in the price of your ticket, please play nice!
