Nintendo has officially released Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and fans have been quick to post their early reactions to the video-game/toy hybrid. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit lets players craft their own makeshift track in their homes that they can then race through on their Nintendo Switch.
Packaged within the box of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is an RC car with either Mario or Luigi, as well as various gates that players litter across their homes as checkpoints for the RC car to drive though. A camera on the car lets the player see a third-person view just as a standard Mario Kart title would while they collect coins and items, avoid obstacles, and race for first place.
Players then choose from 24 unique tracks of their choice including a Bowser's Castle track , a Donkey Kong Jungle, a homemade Rainbow Road, and various other Mario Kart classics. Each track has its own collectibles and obstacles, but fans have noticed an obstacle that Nintendo didn't advertise: their own cats. Yes, players have reported that their own cats have absolutely not been enjoying the cart driving plumbers zipping around their homes. Many users have even recorded these hilarious feline encounters.
Overall, this was certainly to be expected. Cats are curious creatures and introducing a fast-paced stranger into their home is certainly going to get their attention. What makes this so funny is watching the debacle on the Nintendo Switch's screen and seeing the cats attack Mario or Luigi as if they were giants that fit perfectly in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit's wacky world of racing fun.
This isn't an isolated incident either. Nintendo fans everywhere are posting their own examples of their cats freaking out over seeing Mario and Luigi race around their homes with some players even going as far as to torment their poor kitties by intentionally chasing them around their homes. While funny in its own right, fans should at least be a bit cautious to avoid their cat destroying the gates or even the cart itself.
Overall, it's all fun and games and no cats have been reported to have been harmed or tormented. Fans will always find unique ways to showcase their gaming purchases and this is no exception. Maybe someday Nintendo will update the game with its own cat-themed track to make the crossover truly a sight to see.
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is available now on Nintendo Switch.
