![Mario Kart 7 ad][2]
Have you seen this recent ad for [Mario][3] Kart 7 on the picture box? It sure looks like it was done using CG (computer graphics), doesn't it? Well, not as much as you might think. The ad team behind this [Nintendo][4] game advertisement likes to do things old school, apparently, and released a behind-the-scenes video showing that the ad was made using real, customized go-karts.
Better yet, one of those _real Mario Karts_ actually did one helluva jump off of a ramp in the making of this 35-second video. The 13-year-old inside you is probably already crying to mom that he just has to have [this game when it hits][5] the [3DS][6] Dec. 4. As for us, we're more interested in getting our hands on one of those legit karts. Who knows, maybe they'll [pay Times Square a visit.][7] Check out both videos below:
