About Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is a racing game for the Nintendo Switch, released on October 15, 2020. It is part of the Mario Kart series within the wider Mario franchise. Nintendo developed the game with Velan Studios, and Nintendo published it. The game is listed for single player and multiplayer play, with first person and third person perspectives, and it is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and PEGI 3.

Players drive a physical kart around their own home while using familiar Mario Kart controls. The action is shown from the kart's on-board camera on the Switch or a connected TV screen. The game is aimed at family and party play, with the kids and party themes listed for it.

The setup turns rooms in the player's home into themed courses, and the game's description mentions settings such as ocean depths and a sandy desert drawn from the Mario Kart world. Because the courses use the player's own space, the experience blends the real environment with the on-screen racing.
