    Mario Kart GP VR & VIVE

    With VIVE headsets and trackers, players can not only play Mario Kart Arcade GP in immersive VR, they can shell and peel riders off course too.

    VR ZONE Portal is a one-of-a-kind virtual reality hub. Originating in Japan and the United Kingdom, this Shinjuku-style arcade experience made waves at Washington D.C.’s historic Union Station last fall. Now, you can catch it—for the time being—at K1 Speed, an indoor go-kart track and family fun center in Irvine, CA.

    At VR ZONE Portal USA / K1 Speed, you can play through an exciting suite of virtual reality games, including: Argyle Shift, an exciting, futuristic mecha battle and flight simulator; Ski Rodeo, a thrilling, steep trial to the bottom of the slopes; and last, but definitely not least, Mario Kart Arcade GP VR, a thrill-packed virtual take on the arcade game.

    With use of the HTC VIVE VR system, each game provides a highly immersive experience. Mario Kart Arcade GP VR not only features industry-leading graphics for players, but the ability to reach up and grab classic items like Green and Red Shells with VIVE Tracker technology to drive opponents off-course. Additionally, Mario Kart Arcade GP VR boasts haptic feedback capabilities, creating a truly four-dimensional experience that allows players to feel every twist and turn.

    Calling all UK Mario Kart fans! The highly anticipated Mario Kart VR experience opened last week at the BANDAI NAMCO Amusement Inc. VR ZONE Portal London located within Hollywood Bowl at London’s O2 arena, following a hugely successful launch in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2017.

    The multiplayer VR experience will offer four players at a time the chance to hop into specially designed ‘Mario Karts’, before racing through the iconic Mushroom Kingdom as either Luigi, Mario, Yoshi or Peach. 

    Running off the award-winning HTC Vive VR system, Mario Kart VR features industry-leading graphics and in homage to the original game, Vive’s Tracker technology allows players to reach up and grab classic items like banana skins to pelt their opponents with. Additionally, Mario Kart VR boasts haptic feedback capabilities, creating a truly four-dimensional experience that allows players to feel every single twist and turn.

    Mario Kart VR will later this summer be rolled out to further VR ZONE Portal locations at Hollywood Bowl centres in Tunbridge Wells and Leeds.

    The Mario Kart VR experience is bookable in advance with limited spaces on the day, with full information available at: https://www.hollywoodbowl.co.uk/vr
