Big ups to the research department for getting the power-ups right.
You live in Portland?? So does this mean you will be organizing official Dtoid meetups here?

I find it funny how the guy near the end dodges the banana and leaves the lane. Sub-conscious Mario kart protection.
I really would like to see someone biking down the lane and pedal fast for boost, maybe hum the star invincibility song and crash when they hit the banana.
im betting a hundred-to-one that conrad did this himself a week ago. he just moved there, had time to go down the 'avenue' and spray paint symbols because he loves dtoid and mario kart, and then this hits the news a week later on TV and Dtoid??

The rest of the clip goes on to say, "The Blue Shell in particular seems to have tire tracks going both ways, as if cyclists ran over, stopped, and then backed over the shell in a fit of rage."
Godbless the way city officials think.. "Well its not harming anyone.. but it's not how we made it soooooo.. let's paint over it."
This place makes me sad.
Still, I wont kill myself just yet.. in hopes to see what this masked anarchist does next.. TRASH CANS INTO WARP PIPES?! OH MY?!
HACK THE PLANET!

The news report said they don't know whether the city plans on painting over it or anything. I'm hoping they don't... I live in a large city right now and always see writing on the sidewalk... such as a kitten shaped like a penis. So if that penis kitten stays but those awesome Mario Kart symbols don't I will be very slightly annoyed.

Oh i misheard.. damn me and my lovable yet inappropriate assuming. :/
I know lower south in northern california someone wrote in the street for people to slow down because of a school zone and by the end of the week the city painted over the homemade signage.
I think it would be a classy act if both the penis kitten and mario kart uppers got to stay.

Dtoid Portland has been having meetups for ages. We've got a pretty active NARP/movie/event group.

The fact the news would report on this, and name it beyond "game", "video game", or "mario, is what's most impressive.
It's cool, but...is it really newsworthy? I feel like this'll go over the heads of the majority of those watching the news.
They should paint over all of them, the banana peels look legit, that's just dangerous and it promotes violence among cyclists.
They pretty much have to paint over these, because they're a safety hazard. Some genius is going to drive over the star and think they can safely plow straight through traffic.
Man, I know I've become a cynical bastard when what impressed me most about that video was the reporter getting all of his information right. Most others would probably just call them "strange symbols" from a "mario" originating from a "Nintendo."
@FDC Ruckus: A lot of "old school" gamers are at the age where news matters. Although, being Portland and a native Oregonian (Or-eh-go-nee-en) I'm not at all surprised these days with what is called "news".
