Mario Kart 7 comes out on December 4th! That's only four days away, so to celebrate N+ is wearing a Mario Kart visual style this month. My design is obviously a play on the Speed Racer artwork, or マッハ Go Go Go, whichever title you prefer.

I guess there really isn't much left to explain here, oher than I tried to match this drawing up as closely to the original artwork as possible. My favorite addition to the design was also the last thing added, and was almost left out - The banana peel. In the original artwork you can clearly see Speeds' scarf flowing from his neck, and that's just something Mario doesn't have. I did the artwork without replacing this piece, and while it looked good without it, the image still felt empty. After getting everything prepared for the site, the banana peel idea hit me like a thunderbolt from Zeus! Now the work is complete!

If you want, you can check the N+ Design gallery for a wallpaper sized version of this months styling, GO MARIO GO!
