I feel bad for Toad, Trump, Mario Kart and everyone on the internet today

When his parents denied him a Super NES, he got mad. When they traded a prize Sega Genesis for a 2400 baud modem, he got even. Years of Internet shareware, eBay'd possessions and video game testing jobs after that, he joined Engadget. He helped found The Verge, and later served as Gizmodo's reviews editor. When he's not madly testing laptops, apps, virtual reality experiences, and whatever new gadget will supposedly change the world, he likes to kick back with some games, a good Nerf blaster, and a bottle of Tejava.

Why is Mario Kart trending worldwide on Twitter? It has to do with Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels and a part of Trump's anatomy Daniels says looks like Toad from the game. We're so sorry to have to do this to you.

Let's take a look...

Wait. Wait. Wait. 

Oh god, no. I'm so sorry, Mario fans. I'm so sorry, Nintendo. 

I'm going to stop while I'm ahead. JK, it's too late for me. Save yourself. 

Good advice, Questlove. Wish I'd seen it earlier!

Nintendo Life pretty much summed up the whiplash many of us went through this morning.

By the way, Nintendo's Switch Online service launches today. Now you'll have to pay to play Mario Kart online. 

You're welcome. And let us never speak of this again.
