Google Maps Apps Add 'Mario Kart' Feature

When users launch the latest version of the app, the feature is activated by tapping a "?" beside the start button normally used to start navigation. It includes sound effects -- "Woo-hoo! Let's-a go!" says Mario -- and will be available for the next week. It's to commemorate "Mario Day" -- Mar.10 -- that magical time of year one Portland newspaper has described as "the most manufactured of corporate holidays," on which Nintendo lowers the price on their Super Mario Run app and offers other discounts.
