Rufus Hound promotes Mario Kart 7 tournament

Comedian Rufus Hound is joining Nintendo to promote the upcoming Mario Kart 7 tournament.

Due to take place this summer, the Britian’s Fastest Family Tournament offers keen Mario Kart 7 players a chance to win a Honda Jazz and other Nintendo goodies as well as the coveted Mario Kart 7 trophy.

Rufus Hound will host a number of videos offering families tips and tricks to perfect player’s racing technique.

Hound said: What are you doing just sitting there. Grab your Nintendo 3DS, call your father, harrang your grandpa, get practicing for glory awaits Britain’s Fastest Family!”

The tournament will run across England, Scotland and Wales with regional heats taking place at 30 HMV stores throughout August.

If you fancy yourself as a karting pro, and have a semi-competent family to back you up, then find out more information at www.nintendo.co.uk/britainsfastestfamily.
