The moment we've all been waiting for....THE MUSHROOM CUP!!!


This is our second Cup and it is so exciting to see the progress from last Cup to this cup! This cup consists of 4 races. The first three are elimination rounds with 4 racers and the winner of each race advances onto the final round to compete for the Mushroom Cup.

Racers: Mario, Bowser, Wario and Toad.

Race 2: DK Summit and Sherbet Land
Racers: Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Waluigi and Daisy
Music: Wii DK Summit and N64 Sherbet Land by ‪@PanmanMusic‬
We filmed this all around my town in the middle of winter. It features our Ice Igloo that we built, check out the video at    • Ice Igloo 2021/22 Timelapse  
We really appreciate the Gunderson family for letting us film on their Ice rink they made in their backyard.
We’d also like to thank LaBelle Lake Ice Palace for letting us film through their magical palace.


Race 3: Peach Gardens
Racers: Peach, Rosalina, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi
Music: DS Peach Gardens by ‪@PanmanMusic‬

This was mostly filmed at the BYU-Idaho Thomas E. Ricks Gardens. It is such a beautiful place we like to visit and I was happy to be able to capture some of its beauty.


Race 4: Moo Moo Meadows
Racers: You’ll have to see for yourself!
Music: Mario Kart Wii – Moo Moo Meadows Mashup by @SoljaDreams24 and Moo Moo Meadows – Mario Kart Wii by ‪@IsanaRemix‬

This was filmed throughout my town. I really wanted to feature East Idaho agriculture. I really appreciate the Websters for letting me film on their farms. It was so fun to film them harvesting.
I really appreciate Emalee’s Venue letting us start off the race in their beautiful barn. Make sure to check out their website http://emalees.com/. I can’t wait to hear from them one day saying that someone booked their venue because of a Mario Kart Hot Wheels video.
I also want to thank my dear friends the Wildings for letting me film with their cows. I had a lot of fun with them and became friends with a few of those cows.
I’d also like to thank my friends Coleman Anderton (with ‪@andertonfilms3248‬ ) Hunter Laudert with their participation in creating the Blue Shell scene. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to use the footage we filmed…see upcoming video…but really appreciate their time and willingness to help.

Special thanks to Robert with ‪@5MadMovieMakers‬ as a ready consult for figuring out some of the stunts!
