But how this will happen: Now instead of a boring blue arrow, Mario and his signature red racer will tell you directions in the mobile app. For this new navigator which is given to us just for a week starting from March10, we will have to update our mobile app.

Happy Mar10 Day!

Navigate and share a screenshot of your #MarioMaps with us this week. https://t.co/IutHDz5C14 pic.twitter.com/MlaiLWeseG — Google Maps (@googlemaps) March 9, 2018

After updating the app a question block will appear, on clicking it a confirmation screen will pop up to start Mario as your own personal navigator. Not just this, Google has also asked people to share screenshots of their Kart excursions using the hashtag #MarioMaps on Twitter and Instagram. At the same time, Google has also alerted people to avoid sharing their personal details. In Google Maps Mario Kart will be available until March 16, so hurry up. Some people have already updated, have a look.

WHO SAYS NO TO THIS?! Thanks @googlemaps ???????? pic.twitter.com/C441XnTPhE
