Without looking at the screen someone might think you're watching Supermarket Sweep, but don't worry about that - it's Mario Kart Wii and it's a two-minute trailer.
After showing Mario and Luigi floating through the air (unlockable invisible Karts confirmed!) holding the Wii controllers, the trailer brushes briefly over all the features in the game, including a nice look at the awesome online mode that'll set a new standard for Wii online play.
It's worth bearing the happy-happy-joy-joy soundtrack for two minutes. Then, in case you haven't heard, you can go play the game for yourself at Game stores across Britain.
Nintendo UK is set to kick off a country-wide Mario Kart Wii tournament next week, letting gamers go hands-on with the racer before it releases on April 11.
The tourney is set to take place in GAME stores across Britain (except, for some reason, London) next Saturday, April 5, though you won't be able to practice for it because erm, the game isn't out yet.
Prizes include £250 of 'Experience Vouchers' for activities including Karting, Paintballing and Quad Biking and a Mario Kart VW Beetle Convertible, for power sliding around Sainsbury's car park on a Friday night.
The Grand final will take place at a fancy racing day event at Mercedes-Benz World, Brooklands.
If you're up for it, get yourself down to one of the GAME stores below next Saturday.
