Description
Race a real-world Mario Kart™ through your home! Use the Nintendo Switch™ system to control your kart and watch as it reacts to what’s happening in the game as you boost and drift to victory. Your in-home course comes to life on-screen with a view from right behind the driver’s seat.
Turn your home into a Mario Kart course of your design
Place gates and customize courses in the real world, then see them come alive with different in-game environments like jungles and snowscapes and obstacles like Piranha Plants. Use objects from around the house to customize your courses and add challenge, then watch the game transform your home into the Mario Kart world.
Zoom around the house with up to three friends
Bring along some friends to race around your custom course in Custom Race or Grand Prix!* Just make sure each player has their own Nintendo Switch system, the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit™ game and either the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit ™ - Mario™ Set or Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit™ - Luigi™ Set
The magic of augmented of reality doesn’t just mean you’ll see your course and opponents come alive on screen. Hit a boost in the game? Watch as your real-life Mario Kart speeds up. Get hit by a Green Shell? Look out, because your kart will slow down! If you’re worried about straying too far from the course (or your living room), Smart Steering will help guide you along.
The races you progress through in Grand Prix mode are varied—the windy environment might push your kart to the side, while the in-game Piranha Plant gate will bite you if you pass through the wrong side. As you play, you’ll unlock more speed settings, costumes, environments and more! These can all be used when you want to create your custom course. Even Rainbow Road makes an appearance!

Q: Is it possible to drive the car in the carpet?
A: If you have a thin carpet like at a hotel hallway or convention center, yes, but if you have a 1/2 inch carpet it like driving a car in 2 feet of grass. It depends on how thick your carpet is.
submitted byRich - 4 years agoA: Depends on the thickness. If it's super thin like a hotel's, then it has no problem. It it's above about an inch, it has a bit of a hard time.
submitted byraki - 4 years agoA: While you can drive it on carpet it’s not recommended especially if you have pets. It won’t run as well and if there’s hair in your carpet you will need to clear out the wheels after a few uses.
submitted byAlvexas - 4 years agoA: Yes, it can go over carpet.
