If you're a seasoned veteran of the internet, then you may remember this Mario Kart street art done by a graffiti artist on some Portland bike lanes a few years back. Jumping on the bandwagon this year, so to speak, is Waze, a free social app that offers GPS navigation with turn-by-turn directions based on other users' traffic reports.

This weekend, Waze is offering users a chance to win one of five Nintendo 3DS systems they're giving away by organizing what can only be described as a vehicular scavenger hunt. Starting tonight and ending tomorrow evening, you can download Waze's app on your phone and open it to find a road map scattered with mushrooms, gold coins, and stars. Follow the Mario symbol and it will lead you to the nearest Nintendo launch, where you can enter to win a 3DS. (And a bunch of other prizes, too!) If there's no Nintendo launch near you, worry not - you can enter anyway! Check out Waze's blog for the official contest rules.

Seems like a fun little way to celebrate one of the biggest launches in Nintendo's history, no?

Plus, you know, free stuff. It's win-win, really.

Sounds like a great way to waste energy.

"Sir, why were you on your phone and driving?"
"I was following the trail of Mushrooms to get a free 3DS!"

I live in Virginia, home of the most unsung 3DS wanters, so forget it.

This Application is really cool. It is widely used in mobile device which has net connection. In the road or outside of the home, it works well than other device. In the Nokia E7 it runs smoothly, so we can say it needs more graphics support.
