Nintendo partners with West Coast Customs for Mario Kart 7

You can usually count on Nintendo to do something unique to get the word out on a key franchise and tapping West Coast Customs to create two vehicles from Mario Kart 7 is just that.

At the L.A. Auto Show, Nintendo will have an exhibit showing off both the game and two in-game vehicles. That means attendees will be able to look at and even touch, Mario's Standard Kart and Luigi's Bumble V Kart—and play Mario Kart 7 ahead of its December 4th launch.

There hasn't been any word as to whether this exhibit will be appearing at the Auto Show's other usual stops like Detroit or New York, so this is probably a one-time thing. The rest of us will probably have to make do with seeing them being designed and built on a future episode of Inside West Coast Customs.

The Mario Kart 7 vehicles will be on exhibit at the L.A. Auto Show from November 18th to the 27th.
