Now building an arcade cabinet out of cardboard that you can sit on isn’t as easy as you may think. A Nintendo Switch had to be securely concealed within its frame, all the while being connected to an external screen running Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Other features include stereo speakers, LED accent lights, an adjustable Mario-themed racing seat, and a steering wheel / gas pedal setup controlled with a Joy-Con.
