I wanted this ever since I say it announced, but at $100 it was kinda hard to swallow. After buying this Mario kart on sale for $60 I had to get the Luigi kart, even if it was for $90. The fun I had with my kids was definitely worth every penny.

We love these Mario Kart kits. We use them in our local hospital with kids to play together and explore. The carts easily connect to the switch and allows kids to walk around with them while viewing from Mario's perspective. No need for Wifi. Worth getting 2 or more to have multiple going at once if there are multiple kids playing. The kit and tracks are easy to setup. We get to become the guy who puts them back on the track, haha. Range is great too!!

Fun game overall. Cool that you can create and setup your own track amd get to feel like you are down in it driving. Really fun. A couple things though is the track pieces are all made out of cardboard instead of plastic or somthing that could last longer its cardboard so be careful not to rip them when setting them up. Also the range of them is not that great. You have to be cin close range of the switch itsself to be able to pick them up. Otherwise it loses connection with them and tou cant steer. Other than that they are really fun. Especially when you get both mario and Luigi and you play it in 2 player mode.

Great game. Best experience for a kid. It's so immersive. You can see the other Mario Karts driving around too. The effects are pretty awesome. Turns your home into a real life Mario Kart track.

Perfect toy for kids, the game can be finished real quick if you want to, the trick is to make the courses as complicated as possible since you make your own courses, super fun specially if you know both cars, the Luigi and Mario, the car battery last long, I’ll charge them every 3 days after playing with them 4-5 every day. It’s a totally recommendable switch accessory. (In order to play with both cars you need to Nintendo switches, it could be any version)

Lots of fun! I'm glad I bought it. The only downside is you have to be pretty close to the Switch or the video gets really choppy. Maybe 15- 20 ft radius of the Switch max for good connection. You can walk behind the Kart in handheld mode and it works great though!

Lot of fun for kids and adults! Doesnt have a very far range, but that's ok, shorter courses are way easier. Lol!
A:According to what Nintendo has told the press, it's designed to work on some carpets, but may not work on all. It seems their primary concerns with functionality are particularly long or thick carpets (like shag carpets, for example).
A:There is no track included with the set. The camera on the car maps out a digital track using augmented reality. However, two cars can race together at the same time.
