I've seen them get ripped apart on Japanese internet forums, although internet tends to bring out the worst in Jpn people so I ignore them.
I will say that these MarioCars seem to be extremely popular and everyone who's done it seems to rave about it.
So if you're willing to take some risks, I'd ignore the haters and just go for it.
Sorry, cannot help with any specific companies or routes. Isn't there one that does both Rainbow Bridge and Shibuya Crossing?


The outfits are optional and there have been accidents (I think 4, like karters running into stuff, one into a cyclist).
The only one I know of is Maricar. However, I've been soaking up info on Japan like crazy so who knows what else is there.

Did you like it? I've been trying to find Google Map routes for each one. The ones I found cover a ton of ground.
