Mickey and Mario are teaming up … kind of.

Disney XD, a channel focused on content for kids, announced a new show today called Clash of Karts: Mario Kart 8, which will team up young gamers with popular YouTube personalities like Strawburry 17 and AtomicMari in a one-hour, multiround Mario Kart 8 competition. The show will air on December 5 at 8 p.m. Pacific and Eastern. This is another example of esports making it mainstream, this time in a young market.
