The event featured a live DJ, photo ops with Mario, hands-on gameplay, and a Mario Kart Wii tournament. The winners -- Nathaniel, Henry, and Nazareth (yes, really) -- faced off against Jason Priestly, best known for his role as Brandon Walsh in 90210. Priestly, a race car driver and co-owner of the Rubicon Race Team, held his own for most of the Moo Moo Meadow track, only to lose to Nazareth in a last-minute item box-assisted upset.
