Watch Giant Bomb Play Video Games on a Roller Coaster

Giant Bomb vs. a roller coaster.

By on

29 Comments

Ever wondered what it would be like to play video games on a roller coaster? GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb recently did just that.

Editors Jeff Gerstmann and Dan Ryckert competed to see who could get the furthest in Super Mario Bros. 3 for 3DS while riding the epic Medusa coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California.

We won't spoil how it went down. Watch the video above and let us know what you think in the comments below!

I think they did the "bend test" the way they were holding their 3DS' so tightly in the ride. LOL!

How the heck did they get away with this. I was at Kings Island and they stopped the coaster while it was climbing because someone pulled out there phone. I wasn't on the coaster yet but they wouldn't start it until they put it away. Just more lax rules at that place?

I had a good time watching this. Pretty hilarious. However, I want to know exactly where Jeff was in the game when he quit.
