Race against Hot Mario Bros.

The Japanese comedic duo featured on Japanese advertising for Mario Kart DS also play the racer. Gamers in Japan will be able to play the two via kiosk downloaded ghost data, the same data used for time trials in the game. From the article: "Starting 12/27 gamers in Japan will be able to download Hot Mario Bros ghost data from Nintendo Wifi kiosks throughout Japan. This is actual ghost data recorded by the Hot Mario Bros themselves."

It's kinda like downloading your favorite celebrity iTunes playlist, only better. Celebrity ghost data could be a fun way of adding functionality to wi-fi games.
