Grand Prix is handled a little differently to past Mario Karts, each cup consisting of only three tracks and these tracks completely left up to the player to design their layout. Even at 50cc the game has a decent pace to it and by the time I’d gotten brave enough to take on 200cc, well let’s just say the number of crashes certainly increased dramatically. While the kart might look a little slow moving in the real world, the action on screen feels much faster and handles just like a traditional Mario Kart game. It’s silly to say but it does feel truly magical watching this real RC car being influenced by things that are happening in-game. Getting hit with shells or slipping of banana peels will slow you in your tracks while mushrooms will give the car a boost of speed. Yes, you are driving a small RC car around your room, but as far as handling and feel goes this is straight up Mario Kart. I was pleasantly surprised with how similar the game feels to a more traditional Mario Kart experience. With the track designed you’re ready to race. There’s only so many times you can ride a basic ring before you start to want a bit more from your track design. Fortunately for us we had a healthy area to mess around in but for those dealing with a smaller space, this will likely impact the staying power of the game. Of course, the amount of space you have in your home is going to impact just how creative and complex your track can be. Much like other games that give you the tools to make what you want (think Super Mario Maker 2), the level of fun to be had from stretching your racetrack designing skills here proves a real draw whether you’re a kid or adult. Our dining table made for a great tunnel while our son’s toys worked wonderfully in adding a bit of flair to our creation.

While the two directional signs included with the game doesn’t offer much in the ways of decorating, of course you’re free to use anything in the real world too. While your design will need to pass through all four gates, you’re free to manoeuvre the route between in any way you like so whether you want a simple loop, figure eight or even a recreation of Yoshi Circuit, the limit really is down to your imagination. Lakitu will cover your tyres in paint (in-game of course) where you’ll then be free to trace out your track. It may have moved a little slower than if it were on hardwood flooring, but never did it get stuck.įirst things first, you’ll need to actually build your racetrack, a simple process and one that proves just as exciting as the racing itself.
We also didn’t run into any issues when racing on the carpets in our house. The car itself feels well-built and sturdy and after taking a number of bangs into all sorts of hard surfaces (table legs, chairs and more) aside from a few minor dings in the bumper, the vehicle didn’t seem affected. Once you’ve done that, you’re pretty much good to go.Īside from the RC car, the package also includes a charging cable, four cardboard gates and two cardboard directional signs.

After downloading the game from the Nintendo eShop, setup is super simple requiring little more than a quick scan of a QR code on the screen using the camera of the RC car. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit feels fresh but familiar, the familiarity coming from how the game plays and controls while the freshness deriving from the actual real-life aspects of the game.
On paper (and in trailers) it certainly sounds and looks intriguing but how well does it work in practice? So, with 2020 comes Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, an experience that aims to combine physical RC cars and video games. Back in 2018 that came in the form of Nintendo Labo while last year saw the far more successful Ring Fit Adventure turn our living rooms into home gyms. A creation that tries something new and different.
Nintendo has delivered a wide range of quote, unquote, ‘traditional video games’ on its Nintendo Switch console but every so often along comes a real curveball.
