A large part of the function of the TAG Heuer Connected x Super Mario watch is to unify the activities and movements of the user. Uniquely, users can interact with Super Mario characters displayed on the dial. Priced at around $2,150, the TAG Heuer Connected x Super Mario quickly sold out in the market. Reportedly, all pre-ordered units sold out in less than 10 minutes! “We are excited to reveal two new series from of our collaboration with Nintendo. The spirit of TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 collection is the perfect match for the limited edition Mario Kart mechanic, thanks to its modern and fun personality, driven by speed and friendly competition. Both watches are designed for lovers of fine watchmaking who keep their outlook on life fresh and fun,” said Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer.As a result, the price of this watch itself rose to $6,000 which is three times the official price. The Second Brand Follow-Up Project Recently, TAG Heuer once again teamed up with Nintendo to create a video game-themed watch for the Mario Kart series. Unlike previous projects that combined elements of a classic clock with a digital clock, for these two Mario Kart references, TAG Heuer presents a very different look from analog watches. TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Chronograph The first collection of this brand is a chronograph watch which is only available in as many as 3,000 units. The case is made of 44mm diameter stainless steel and features a Mario character silhouette on the back. Another detail that is similar to the collaboration between the watchmaker and the video game series is again seen in the black ceramic bezel that bears the white “Mario Kart” logo. There are three subdials on the face that are placed at the 6 o’clock position, 9 o’clock, and 12 o’clock respectively. One subdial is at 9 o’clock in the Mario character section of the racer. The date window at 3 o’clock displays classic items in Mario Kart, including bananas and Bullet Bill. Both items serve as a substitute for date numbers. The set price for this TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Chronograph is $4,300. TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon Next is a watch equipped with a chronograph function and a tourbillon mechanism, which TAG Heuer produces far fewer, with only 250 units.This timepiece has a 45-millimeter case made of grade 5 titanium, and sapphire crystal glass on the back case engraved with the words “Mario Kart”. Through the crystal glass, users can see the movement of the clock which shows three silhouettes of characters from the video game.The tourbillon movement at the 6 o’clock position displays Mario and two power-up items in the game, Spiny Shell and Bullet Bill. The listed price for this TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart Chronograph Tourbillon series is $25,600. Both watches come with black cowhide straps sewn in red thread on the edges, as well as strap locking clasps featuring the Mario “M” symbol. Buyers of this watch will get a black watch case and a series travel pouch.

Mario Kart Tour recently updated their game to version 3.0.0 by bringing back Battle Mode on October 4, 2022. The game, which has just celebrated its third anniversary, can be downloaded via the App Store and Google Play Store. Mario Kart Tour itself is a mobile companion to Mario Kart, which has proven to be one of the most popular games on iOS and Android allowing fans to race on the move.Mario Kart Tour has surpassed more than 200 million downloads and $200 million players since the game was released in 2019. The dynamic racing game series, featuring familiar characters, and cool course designs, make it very interesting. Although the game seems easy to play, the developer always makes sure to include features that make players addicted to it. Mario Kart Tour Adds Battle Mode Battle Mode is a multiplayer game from the Mario Kart series such as Grand Prix and VS Mode. As opposed to the usual racing mode, this mode involves driving karts while throwing objects at other players to earn points. The arrival of the Mario Kart Tour battle itself comes with battle arenas. The Cookie Land GCN map is coming and will definitely reopen the Gamecube era. Meanwhile, the SNES Battle Course will display green, yellow, blue, and red courses. In addition to eliminating features that are felt to make the game unbalanced, Mario Kart Tour developers also provide additional features for this game. Later, there will be several Battle Modes that will appear in Mario Kart and each mode will focus on a different goal other than being the first in the race. One of the available modes is Balloon Battle, where players must use items to pop three balloons that are above the heads of other players or above the heads of NPCs. Players can take advantage of various unique items such as shells, banana peels, bombs, and so on to paralyze players. The player who is able to lead the team or the player who still has balloons will be the winner.
