Picked this up at a sale today for $2.  Cosmetically it's in very good condition.  Works fine.  Anyone know anything about these?  All I can find online is the new MK battery operated cars that Toys-R-Us sells nowadays that kids can drive.

Thanks!

Not sure that I've seen that specific one before, but they are pretty common from the DS through Wii era. I've seen MK cars at TJ Maxx and in Target. I can't remember seeing them from the 64 game, but I'd imagine that there are plenty of them out there. Definitely a great deal for $2 though.

I have a mario and Yoshi still in the (open) clear packaging.
I bought them both at a gamestop about 8 or so years ago...played with them once and put them up on display.
I would assume they are not worth much, but if they are I will be happy. I need to get rid of stuff and these could be the next to go.

Love how the controller looks just like a GBA from the back

Lol right?

Thanks for the info guys; I did more digging online and found a bit more about these cars. They are not worth anything significant, but for $2 I'll buy it again any day

Nice. I've never seen those before. They also look great next to your DK Jenga.

I have the Japanese Tomy imports fro 2001 (The Mario and Yoshi),  It's strange hose these two characters seem the be the focus point of these toys.

$2 was definitely a good price to pick it up for. I too have seen similar ones at TJ Maxx and other like places a couple years back but not for that low. Nice grab!
