Mario Kart has entered the mixed reality world! Using physical radio-controlled cars that respond to how the player plays in-game, this is the next generation of racing games that takes the already fun formula and gives it a new twist.

Most of what you have come to expect will be in the game too, so you will be able to throw things at opponents to knock them off course and slow them down- including the infamous banana peel. Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings are race opponents in Grand Prix mode and you can win new customisation options and costumes for the playable characters by beating them.

As for the Home Circuit mode, four gates can be placed around to form the race track and the game knows when you pass through them and advance onto the next lap.
