Early Christmas Present Idea!

These Mario Kart toys are AWE-to-the-SOME!  Not only do you control them like any other remote controlled car, but they get power-ups, just like in the games!  There are pieces that you lay out around the track (or kitchen floor) and when your cart rides over them, you'll get a powerup to spin out another car.  They're about $30 a pop and are only available in Japan at the moment.  Hopefully they come state-side!
