Online cheaters appearing in Mario Kart already?

Posted April 12th 2008 by Gareth Trinkwon.

Cheating in Mario Kart. Is there anything quite so ridiculous?

With Mario Kart now available in PAL regions, reports are already coming in of impossibly quick track completion times appearing on the score boards. Three players in particular are topping the tables with times lower by less than half those seen by other users.

The game only came out yesterday, so perhaps it's simply an early glitch in the score boards system. Or perhaps these players have simply found ridiculous shortcuts for the tracks, but Nintendo should probably be addressing these issues either way!
