If you’re a competitive Mario kart player, then it’s time for some good news: Nintendo has announced today that it is bringing a Mario Kart 7 app to Facebook. The app allows players to post their best times, as well as view results for completed races. The app appears to be UK exclusive, and the best players every month will be inducted into the Hall of Fame permanently.

If you like the official Nintendo 3DS UK Facebook page, you can enter your Mii name into the app and submit your times and compete in weekly and sometimes even special events  (which we assume will include some sort of prize for top racers).  Once you have the app running on Facebook it will notify you of the latest updates and events.

Are you the competitive type? Will you be posting times on Facebook? Let us know in the comments below.
