To play Mario Kart Live Home Circuit, you must first download the free dedicated software from the Nintendo eShop. The dedicated software will appear if you enter 'MKLIVE' on the search screen.



Start the software when the download is complete. At Mario Kart Live Home Circuit, you cannot use the capture button that allows you to take screenshots and videos of the game on Nintendo Switch.



At the first startup, the Nintendo Switch and cart will be paired first. When you click the button on the right side of Mario ...



The LED indicator above Mario will start to glow red and blue.



The QR code is displayed on the game screen of Nintendo Switch, so ...



Point the camera of the cart at this. Pairing is complete when the LED indicator lights blue.



Then put the cart on the ground ...



It's OK if you operate it on the game screen of Nintendo Switch. The operation method is the same as the conventional Mario Kart, you can use the A button to move forward, the B button to brake / reverse, the R button to jump, and the L button to use items. As for precautions when playing Mario Kart Live Home Circuit, 'Do not play outdoors.' 'Do not play on long-haired carpets or carpets.' 'Steps or slopes Do not play in places. ”“ Pet hair may get entangled in the cart if it falls on the floor. Clean the room before playing to keep pets away. ” So, follow these and clean your room before running the cart. Please also note that a room with a size of 6 tatami mats (3 meters x 3.5 meters) or more is recommended for running the cart.



The signal strength and the remaining battery level of the cart are displayed in the upper left of the game screen. Please note that the connection between the cart and Nintendo Switch may be cut off if there is a communication device that interferes with radio waves. When actually running the cart, using a microwave oven in the next room interfered with the connection between the Nintendo Switch and the cart, making it difficult to run normally. The battery is 150cc and you can play for about an hour and a half.



You can check how the cart is actually operated with Nintendo Switch in the following movie. When I try to operate it, the operability of the cart is beyond my imagination, and it is possible to run like sewing the gap between the legs of a chair or desk. If you are an experienced Mario Kart player, you can run as you wish without any discomfort, so it is nice that you can save the trouble of 'getting used to the operation'. In addition, Mario on the game screen will check the back when driving back, and if the cart hits an obstacle in the real world, it will take action even in the game when it hits an obstacle, so play the game It is also characterized by a mysterious sensation that makes it ambiguous whether you are operating the cart or operating the cart in the real world.

You can run the kart freely, but you can also play in the race like Mario Kart. All that is needed is a gate with numbers from 1 to 4.



The gate has legs stored inside, so pull it out ...



Fold the tip out.



Because a pira pira like this is popping out ...



Bend it inward to complete the gate.



You need to create a total of 4 gates.



Place this in the room.



The gates should be arranged in the order of 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 so that the numbers are in front of the cart.



The gate is made of cardboard and is light, so if you put something that weighs on your feet, the position of the gate will not shift even if the cart hits.



After arranging each gate, make a course on the game screen. It's easy to make a course, just go through the gate in the order of 1 → 2 → 3 → 4.



When you actually make a course, it looks like this. The course can be remade as many times as you like, so for the time being, I tried it as a transcendentally simple circular course.



You can play the created course by moving the cart to the front of Gate 1.



There are three types of race menus: 'Grand Prix' where you compete with NPCs in three races to win the championship, 'Time Attack' where you aim for the fastest on your own course, and 'Custom Race' where you can freely customize the number of laps and music. You can also recreate the course at any time from the bottom of the race menu.



If you move the cart to the front of the gate other than Gate 1, you can freely change the mechanism that exists at the gate of the course you made. In addition to the item box, there are dash magnets and other gimmicks, so you can make the course full of items, or you can make it a course where you compete for victory or defeat only with techniques without items.



The following movie is a race with NPCs on a course that I actually made. If I didn't put anything on the ground, the course would be too simple, so I tried putting chairs and stepladders on the course, but these became nice obstacles and increased the difficulty of the game. Gave me. Also, since I raced in the class with the slowest speed of the 50cc Mario kart, if you look at the kart running in the real world, you can see that it is running quite sloppy. However, the cart running on the game screen had a feeling of running, and when I passed between the stepladders and chairs, I sometimes accidentally released the accelerator.

The official website recommends playing in a 'room with a size of 6 tatami mats', but when you actually play it, if you create a course that fits in the size of 6 tatami mats, one lap will be considerably shorter. You can see that the race is over soon. Therefore, it seems that how to assemble the course so that it will be long in the limited space while securing as much space as possible will be an important factor. The operability of the cart is quite excellent, and if you use drift, you can make smaller turns, so it is good to make your own course that bends to Gnegune.

However, there are no detailed rules other than 'passing through the gates placed on the course in order from 1 to 4', and there is no penalty such as the speed of the cart slowing down even if you run off the created course. If it is a course that passes through the same point as below, you can easily deviate from the course and make a shortcut (shortcut).



Also, if you play for a certain period of time, the battery of the cart will run out and you will not be able to play, so for parents who are worried about children playing games for a long time, it is not necessary to use the Mimamori setting etc. in 1 or 2 hours. However, it may be appreciated that the game cannot be played.

In addition, up to 4 people can play at Mario Kart Live Home Circuit. In the case of multiplayer, you will be playing either 'Grand Prix' or 'Custom Race'.



In the Grand Prix, the person who competes in three races and has the highest overall points wins the race, but of course the user must create the course to run before the race. You can use the same course for three races, but then you get tired of it because it doesn't look good, but it's a lot of work to recreate the course for each race, so it's sad that there are only two choices. ..



Mario Kart Live Home Circuit allows you to create your own course and run Mario to your heart's content, and you can also enjoy the Grand Prix and time attack like a conventional Mario Kart. In addition, it can also be used as a radio-controlled model with a camera that can be operated with Nintendo Switch, so even if you just run inside the house, you can see sights that you can not usually see and you can scout the state of your family. ..



Both Mario Kart Live Home Circuit Mario Set and Luigi Set are on sale for 9980 yen excluding tax. At the time of writing the article, it is out of stock at the Nintendo official online store, My Nintendo Store .
