We at Joystiq would like to caution you, though, that just because the cab driver looks like Mario doesn't mean he's part of the deal. Make sure to double check that before you try to walk away from a large, mustachioed man without paying your fare.

WARNING: telling the cab driver to start snaking so can set a new lap record is not a valid command.

Now I know that "Yoshi yoshi yoshi!" translates to "HEY! I'm drivin' here!"

"...just because the cab driver looks like Mario doesn't mean he's part of the deal..."
But he'll still smell like mushrooms.

How far do you think the taxi ride can be?

Until someone uses a POW Block.

I'd rather ride in the cash cab.
But that's a pretty interesting marketing campaign. Continuing to think outside of the box... but I guess that's what happens when your console's printing money.

Nintendo continues its attack on the environment!lol.

"You know, honestly, I’ve been too busy recently trying to figure out why the fuck cabs shoot banana peels."

It runs on bananas, better for the enviroment

So you pay them in giant gold coins?
They'll clean up
Amanda @ Apr 22nd 2008 7:49PM
Yeah, too bad this Thursday is the 24th, not the 22nd...so is it tonight or Thursday?
matt @ Apr 22nd 2008 8:06PM
Thursday is April 24th.

thats a really random ad campaign, doesn't seem like it'll be too effective

...I'm really tempted to do it. Oh, public transportation. The picture is gold.

*slowly points*... I...know you??...
Saria the Cat @ Apr 22nd 2008 11:41PM
But...why?
TheHuntIsOn @ Apr 23rd 2008 3:08AM
Good question. Would make sense if it was a free ride to some Nintendo shop or something.
"Quick driver, take me to Washington"
Saria the Cat @ Apr 23rd 2008 3:19AM
@TheHuntIsOn: Oh yeah! It would actually be really good marketing if the pick-up spot was FROM the big Nintendo store in NY, too.

That pic is full of win. Just make sure you're not in the cab behind Yoshi's... banana trail..
