SOCCER oddball Mario Balotelli has turned the garden of his mansion into a race track.
The Manchester City striker — who fans have dubbed Super Mario after the Nintendo character — gets his kicks ripping up the lawn on his flash quad bike.
A source said: "Mario absolutely loves playing sport, whether it's football, swimming, karate or judo. But with the quad bike he has the speed too.
"He's moved from an apartment block to a country house and has been tearing around now there's no one to complain about the noise.
"He's like a big kid. His girlfriend Raffaella doesn't get it at all though.
"This is definitely something for him to do with the lads."
The 21-year-old Italian switched from a city centre flat to a mansion near posh Alderley Edge, Cheshire — home to fellow footie stars such as Manchester United's Wayne Rooney. But he is having to take a breather from roaring around the grounds.
He has moved out during bathroom repairs needed after fireworks were set off inside during a party.
His quad bike has been spotted standing unused on the forecourt while he stays in a hotel.
The source added: "Mario lives in a very posh area, with lots of big houses on leafy streets.
"People aren't living on top of each other like in his old place. But they definitely won't have a problem hearing when he's back in the neighbourhood.
