Daimler introduced Mario Kart in the CLA class with MBUX, which enabled the cart to be operated using the steering wheel and accelerator / brake pedal. The image of the game is displayed on the monitor on the right side of the steering wheel and the light inside the car blinks according to the signal at the start of the race. Furthermore, when the cart crashes during the race, the seat belt tightens, According to the speed, the air conditioner in the car blows cold air to the player sitting in the driver 's seat.

Vlad Savov of The Verge who actually experienced said, "The frame rate of the game was not perfect," and when actually experiencing at the booth, "The integration of the seatbelt and the game was not perfect" I write it. Still the experience of playing Mario Kart on a Mercedes-Benz car was fairly special, "says Savov," I love it. " After several play, it seems that the detailed setting is changed so that the sensitivity of the steering wheel can be adjusted and the gear change can be used as the button of the controller. Savov said "There was a truly amazing sense of accomplishment" a few weeks without hitting the walls or banana peels at full speed.

Nintendo and Mercedes-Benz have collaborated before, and in " Mario Kart 8 " which appeared in 2014, Mercedes-Benz vehicles appeared in the game.

On the contrary, an attempt was made to bring Mario Kart into Mercedes-Benz. Although it seems that the development period has been only three weeks, "It emphasizes how excellent this implementation is," says Savov. According to Sascha Pallenberg, head of Daimler's digital transformation department, the CLA class basically has the same NVIDIA hardware as the Nintendo Switch, which suggests that this has boosted implementation in a short period of time There is no mistake.

Pallenberg said that the CLA class that succeeded in implementing Mario Kart was described as "the fastest Nintendo Switch in the world".
