Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



I don't know about you, but when I'm driving, my mind often moves to one of three games in heavy traffic: Ridge Racer (powersliding!), Sega Rally (forget slow people, just drive in the grass!), or Mario Kart (damn, I wish I had some bananas right about now). Of course, if I was Mario Kart-ing it, I wouldn't wear the Mario outfit and drive a go-kart.

A French dork named Remi Gaillard would, though. Remi dressed up in Mario's overalls, slapped on a mustache, gassed up his kart, and hit the open road. After a perfect start (1 and 2 and boom before the 3), he gets his power-up: bananas. Watch as real-world drivers run over his banana tosses. Sadly, they're quite a bit less effective in real life.

How pissed would you be if you had to drive behind that guy? I'm sure that motorcycle driver must have wanted to beat the shit out of him after he threw that banana in front of him...

Is it bad that all I can think about while driving is Burnout 3?

All I need is the 4x multiplier...

Also, he's not just "a French dork."

He's a professional prankster.

Amazing, I've always suspected banana peels were less effective then Mario Kart made them out to be.

Man, I miss the days I raced those karts.

Shifter karts can go over 125 mph.

This video was pretty good.

Did he run from the law, at the end? LOL.

I was laughing hard when he started lobbing those bananas under the cars. I was guessing one car driver wasn't too fond of that. XOD
