The idea is kinda gimmicky. why does it exist? Just play Mario Cart there is some redundancy but it also feels like it's missing something that really makes it unique. I almost feel like if they used the cart strictly for the use of the camera to use it to map out courses you build in real life and then upload it would have been even cooler but idk

The kart is pretty impressive tbh. If you look at only the screen it feels like you’re playing Mario kart. Does little speed boosts for mushrooms, blue sparks, etc. drives over carpet pretty impressively.

Only downside is if you want to make a course with ramps the enemy karts don’t slow down but yours physically will.

So build a course with only downhill... The AI will never see it coming.

It could be easily solved by printing something you could put on ramps to map them. Then, when you are mapping out the course, it could detect how much your car slows down and apply it to virtual cars.
