IGN - 7/10
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit's course creation and in-game tracks are a blast held back by some key limitations.

Game Informer - 7.5/10
While it doesn't deliver a flawless performance, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is a novel concept that provides a unique twist to the well-established racing experience

Gamespot - 7/10
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is Nintendo at its toyetic peak, with a magical AR effect that nonetheless requires some elbow grease to find the fun.

Polygon
From racing against the computer to taking on friends with their own karts to designing the perfect track to just exploring your place through the eyes of a tiny, kart-racing Mario, this is a toy in the best way: a portal to inventive, constantly changing play thats fun no matter how you decide to interact with the platform. Your home is now Marios own set of challenges and opportunities, and thats a jump I did not expect from the Mario Kart franchise.

Kotaku
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is the natural extension of Nintendos penchant for unique peripherals, from the Zapper and Power Pad of the 80s to the Wiis endless assortment of plastic junk (for which the planet may never forgive us). A couple years ago Nintendo smartened up with the more environmentally friendly cardboard Labo kits, which enjoyed only passing popularity.

NintendoLife
We can't deliver our final verdict on Mario Kart Live until we've fully explored its multiplayer potential with a second RC car, but what we can say at this stage is that this is a startlingly authentic "mixed reality" recreation of Nintendo's most popular racing series which encourages you to be inventive with your course designs and does an excellent job of combining your real world surroundings with the fantasy environments of the Mushroom Kingdom. The tech side of things is undeniably impressive and it's impossible to not raise a smile the first time you play; the question is how long that magic will last, especially if your home limits your track designs and you've only got the budget to cover the cost of a single car.

Looks fucking awesome, honestly

If I was a kid, I would literally lose my mind over this thing. I'd be begging every day until Christmas lol.

If they had a Peach kart and I had more space and it was cheaper and I wanted this, I would totally get this.

---

yeah, I'd probably try this just for the novelty of it if the price was reasonable
