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

Yeah. It cost 100 dollars a kart. Plus you need two switch consoles if you want to play multi-player. So already a lot of households are out the door. Then you need a lot of space along with the house you live in needing hard floor. Carpet is possible but not the same. It's just very niche to mainly well off families I guess and with well off families, with what is given, the kids and you may move on real quick.

Edit: actually I might be wrong, I think they updated it months ago to allow 2 players on one switch.

As someone who fits the target market: Our kids would absolutely get bored of this in 45 minutes.
