Carrera Mario Kart 7

Best price: £54

There are a number of Carrera racers licensed by gaming giant Nintendo, and the addition of Mario in this car’s driving seat is its main selling point – it’s bound to be popular with fans of the Mario Kart video game franchise. It drives well, if not on par with the best, as it’s a bit slow, although it’s fun as Mario’s arms move to steer and it feels like a real-life version of a video game kart. We just wish it was a bit more exciting in action.
