Nintendo’s legal battle with MariCar has been going on since 2017, when Nintendo filed a lawsuit back 2017 against the go-kart company for letting drivers dress up as Mario Kart characters.
While Nintendo won the case, MariCar attempted an appeal of the verdict. However,, it was just dismissed by Japan’s Supreme Court.
MariCar was initially ordered to pay Nintendo 10 million yen or $97,000 USD, but after an appeal, the amount has been increased to 50 million yen or $483,000 USD
