About the game

A racing game in which Mario and friends ride karts on a variety of courses. You can use items to hinder rivals or turn the standings around, so the outcome is uncertain until the very end. Assist features like Smart Steering and Auto-Accelerate make it easy for kids and first-timers to enjoy. It also includes split-screen and online races, plus Battle modes like Balloon Battle.

Why we recommend it

A kart racer perfect for family and friends, with easy controls anyone can pick up and item-fueled comebacks.
