INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Nintendo is building on its strange but wonderful cardboard Labo platform with some sweet Mario Kart integration and a truly fabulous
limited edition Switch with a faux-cardboard finish
It really is just the greatest thing and I would do terrible things to have it
Unfortunately some smart kid will probably get it, because you have to win it by designing something cool with Labo.
So, first the Mario
If you have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch, and you really should because it excellent, you can now use the Toy-Con (buildable with the
Labo Variety Kit) as a sort of real-world controller
You twist the right &handlebar& to accelerate and rotate the whole thing to turn.
This is the first game to get its own special Labo
support, but the company says more are on the way
Splatoon 2, perhaps
If you&re a creative type and you have a Labo set, you&re in luck
There are two new contests you can enter, and entry puts you in the running to win the amazing neutral-colored Switch shown up top
I really don&t know why I love it so much, but I do
And if you do too, you should enter
Sorry, world.)
The first challenge is to create a musical instrument with the Toy-Con pieces and &craft materials.& You&ll have to document
its creation and show it working on video; it&ll be judged on &Quality, Creativity, Spirit, and Sound.& Caps Nintendo&s.

The second challenge is to create a game or game-like experience using Toy-Con Garage
Same judgment categories as before, minus Sound.
There will be one grand prize winner and four runners up per contest
Grand prize is that amazing Switch (approximate retail value $1,000!), plus a cool () Labo jacket
Runners up get a pair of cardboard style Joy-Cons and a jacket
Respectable.
If you&ve been looking for a reason to pick up that Labo kit again or use some random pieces you never tried, this is surely
