The track reportedly took 100 hours to build

A modder has gone through great pains to build a functional Mario Kart track in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, reports Nintendo Life. Check out the above video to see the track in all its glory. 

Luigi's Circuit includes fire traps, rolling boulders, spikes that pop up from the ground, ramps, and so much more. There's even Waikuteru himself, who appears as an armor-clad character to discuss why he created the race. As far as rewards go, based on the above video, it looks like you can get a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel from a character called Desert Yoshi after completing the race.

According to Waikuteru, the track took 100 hours to complete, which makes sense considering the enormous attention to detail. There's the iconic Mario Kart music, toadstools, warp pipes, a ton of pictures of Luigi plastered all over the place, and a giant grandstand full of fans who are mostly just Shy Guys. It's pretty damn cool.
