"Mario Kart World," the latest entry in the iconic "Mario Kart" series, dropped on June 5th. While the initial launch buzz might have mellowed out five months later, plenty of players are still tearing up the tracks. This installment shakes things up with an open-world format, letting players cruise solo across expansive maps in addition to the classic circuit races. But hey, open worlds always throw curveballs – like getting your car stolen, or, as one player found out, even getting stuck in a full-blown "traffic jam"?!
X user すずめちゃん。（@chick_hops）was just chilling, cruising around the massive open map in "Mario Kart World" when they hit something we all dread in real life: a traffic jam! Sure, in a game, you can usually just swerve into another lane and blast off, but seeing actual gridlock in "Mario Kart" is pretty wild. Naturally, our curious player decided to switch lanes and get a closer look at who exactly was holding up traffic.
The culprit? None other than a ridiculously slow-moving pyramid formation of Goombas, waddling their way across the road! The entire line of cars was stuck, waiting for these little baddies to finish their bizarre parade. Seriously, talk about a traffic obstruction! Good thing this isn't real life – you won't find Goombas, let alone Goombas forming human (or rather, Goomba) pyramids, on your daily commute.
▼ Please, move it!
This hilarious encounter had netizens cracking up, with comments like, "Can't believe Mario Kart has traffic jams now!" "What even is this way of crossing the road?" and "Is this some kind of chaotic YouTuber stunt?" Looks like even in the high-octane world of "Mario Kart," sometimes you just gotta chill and deal with the gridlock!
