CTA Shows Off Inflatable Mario Kart Car For Wii [CES 2011]

I will now remember the Mario Kart Wii game for two things, first it’s the one game my wife consistently beats me at and two, it offers an inflatable car that you can actually sit in and steer from. We’ve seen the inflatable controller online in the past, but this was our first change to see it up close and personal and to actually sit inside the controller.

The car, blown up using your own lung power, includes a plastic steering wheel column and steering wheel that allows a WiiMote to attach to the center console piece. Users than turn the wheel and use their controllers buttons to move the car.

In the picture shown above you can see the car and below is shots of a kid playing the game and another picture showing the size of the car. The coolest part? We saw adults play entire races in the car, although I’d be a bit afraid to sit in it, but my tiny wife would be perfect for the inflatable controller.

What do you think about having your own Mario Kart vehicle to play from?
