• Race in Mario Kart World:  The event features two-player setups where you can race against a friend and try out the brand-new "Knockout Tour" mode.
  

• Exclusive Merchandise:  A sales booth at the venue will be taking pre-orders (until June 25) and selling the console directly (from June 26).

  
  

Guests who try the game and purchase a console will receive a free, limited-edition tote bag, while stocks last.

For any Nintendo fan or anyone considering the new console, this is a must-visit.

The chance to try new hardware before buying is invaluable. For families and casual observers, it's a fantastic, free activity to check out if you're in the area.

Pro Tip: Expect long queues, especially on the first weekend and subsequent evenings. If you want to avoid the biggest crowds, try visiting on a weekday afternoon.
