On the ice, they'll have to navigate between obstacles and be careful not to collide with other racers to complete the course.
The icy floor ensures "crazy drifts" that mimic the treacherous tracks in the Nintendo game.
Music from the game will fill the arena to enhance the ambiance.
The events are taking place on Saturday, August 22 and Saturday, August 29 between 2:00 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Four-kart races last about 10 minutes.
Prospective players have to reserve their spots online. Tickets cost $25 each.
You must be at least 12 years old and five feet tall to race.
ekart also rents out its mobile 18,000-square-foot race track along with pollution-free and low-noise electric karts for parties or team building activities.
It calls the track "an activity that combines team spirit, individual challenge, adrenaline, and thrills."
