So you can beat the computer players with ease and whip the other gamers online... but how will you face off against the cream of Nintendo Europe?

Nintendo have announced their star player - known only as "NoEonline" is getting ready to take on the world's Mario Kart racers. According to the Big N, he lives, breathes, eats and sleeps Mario Kart 24/7, so you'll be in for a rough ride.

Nintendo's star player will be online from 4pm GMT this Monday (January 30th). You'll find him by going online and searching for 'Continental' races. He'll have a special Mario emblem so you can recognise him better.

Race highlights will be recorded and posted on Nintendo Europe's official site - this is your chance to beat the best and get it shown off online as well! The best of luck!
