I think this is a good boxart. It’s Mario-karty and the blue and white is good for the Wii. I love it

looks like mario kart might come in cardboard sleeve rather than a plastic case if it comes in a box like this.

The picture of mario and luigi is just a beta picture. So in my option, its fake. The beta mario kart DS pic had both mario and luigi on it. Yet they replaced it.

Roth, even though the box art is fake, it clearly says Wii Remote sold separately at the bottom. You can do this pretty easily with photoshop and make it look legit.

Fake. All of the images were released by Nintendo at E3, except for the logo (which would be easy to whip up in Photoshop).

Oh, that is FAKE.
Like Rod said, they’re all pictures release at E3
Look at the Mario Kart Wii logo, and then the Mario Kart DS Logo.
Notice anything similar? The font. They could just have made some sort of chrome look to it in PS
But if it’s fake, someone made a good box-art.

@ Chachoregard — (in regards to your 3rd line) Ummm…do you mind looking at the Mario Kart 64, MK SS, and MK DD logos… You’ll notice they are identical too!
Other than that, yeah it’s a pretty good boxart if it is fake.

This sure is only a beta display, but Gamestop has clarified it’s official.
Here’s a beta display for the new DS Lite colbalt/black: http://www.gamepro.com/nintendo/ds/games/news/images/159388-1-1.jpg
