A chance for UK gamers to play the game before launch and win a load of swag? Sounds good to us...

This April 5th, GAME will be providing UK stores with a sneak-peek at Mario Kart Wii. There'll be a Grand Wii competition to get the fastest lap, being held in one of 30 stores around the country (listed below). All players will receive a certificate of their lap time and will be entered into a prize draw for a �50 GAME Voucher.

The winner from each store wins a �250 experience day voucher and will get an expenses-paid trip on April 12th to Mercedez World, Brooklands for the glamorous Mario Kart Grand Wii launch party and competition Grand Final - where they will compete on a big screen for the star prize: a Mario themed VW Beetle!
