To enter, Mario Kart 7 fans simply need to visit a Nintendo Zone location and use the tournament code 56-5948-2194-6571 to participate.

This unique code allows Nintendo 3DS racers from all over North America to compete against each other in one of the platform’s most beloved racing titles. A Nintendo representative underscored the appeal of the event, explaining that National StreetPass Weekend aims to bring both new and seasoned 3DS owners together, giving them additional opportunities to make StreetPass connections and enjoy multiplayer experiences.

The company encourages fans not only to take part in the Mario Kart 7 tournament but also to use the opportunity to hunt Deviant Monsters in Monster Hunter Generations, another critically acclaimed title on the eShop. Since its launch, the Nintendo 3DS family has sold more than 75 million units worldwide, with Mario Kart 7 surpassing 18 million copies sold as of 2022.
