Mario Kart Live is a new ‘augmented reality’ (AR) take on the classic kart racer. This time out, however, you race real AR toy karts controlled through your Switch console. On the console’s screen, you view the race with it blending your real-life home – furniture and pets included – with the virtual world to create a ridiculously fun, chaotic, and interesting take on racing.
You’ll need to use the cardboard set to build gates around a room, through which you drive in numerical order which determines the layout of the track which you’ve designed. Simple circle? Sure thing. Underneath grandma’s legs? FIne. Through the hazardous pet-feeding area? You bet. You really can create what you want. Nintendo says you’ll need to aim for a space of at least 3.5m x 3m / 10 x 12ft to play in so it’ll be better to do it in larger rooms or all around the house. Check out our full Mario Kart Live review for more info.

The same but in green with Luigi behind the wheel. The Mario one usually sells out first, but Luigi follows suit straight after, so we wouldn’t wait too long on either one.
