    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!

    Such fun around the house. I wish the wifi range was a bit better, but if you have a decent space near your tv (without thick carpets) you can do a lot with this cart.

    This isn't worth the price. The actual pieces that are already attached to the car are glued on and when given to a 9 year old end up coming off very easily. We have had it open and playing with it for all of a week and there's pieces broken.

    Fun augmented reality racing. Works well on carpet- better on hardwood. Sometimes there's lag but works 90-95% of the time without issue.

    Bought this game a little over a year ago. Right out of the box the cars were smooth and the range was excellent, very impressed. Fast forward a year and the karts click when you turn them, the range is MUCH worse, and everything behaves a little slower.

    The karts are great to use as intended or just as RC drones to roam around your house. My cats were very curious about the kart and would follow it around. The karts are controlled by the Switch through Bluetooth and you are able to view the camera that is on the kart. There is a game that will need to be downloaded from the Nintendo eshop. It is best to buy the Luigi set too for two players to race. Cons: The wheels can be impacted by hair (cat, dog, human) getting caught and wound around the inside of the wheel, jamming it. You will need to set up the gate and speed sensors, and these can take up some room The Bluetooth radio on the kart is not very strong so you will need to either be in a large room for the track or follow the kart to another room.

    These are pretty Cool. You can set up any type of track you want. We have wood floors and they have no problem driving around the whole house. When you hit powerup like mushrooms the cars actually speed up! Its also fun to use to play with the cat. He is mesmerized by it. The kids love racing each other. I highly recommend getting at least 2 if you have enough switches. Batteries last surprisingly long. we did about 15 races the other night and chased/played with the cat for another 45 minutes.

    This took a while to get set up, but I think we are going to enjoy playing with it! I have not tried using the different speed levels, yet, but am eager to try it out! I bought 2 cars, but have to borrow a Switch from my grandchildren, as I only have one at my house. My grandchildren loved racing in the 50cc mode when we first set it up!
