My 4 years old love this mario kart. My husband and him play all the time. The remote is really easy to use. And it's very strong my son will let it smash into anything and still it look like new.

I bought this for my son for Christmas, the car never worked. The Remote control would not sync to the car, the light on the remote would just blink. I Could not return this item because it was pass the return date. I tried contacting the manufacture but they would not help because most of their products was sold through toys r us and they would not honor guarantee a warranty. This was a waste of money. I shop at Best Buy all the time but I am very unhappy with this purchase

Very cool RC car. Kids loved how the tires can rotate sideways to mimic the hover car in the video game. My only critique would be the fact that it does not run on any rechargeable battery. I suppose it would be worth it to invest in some rechargeable AA batteries so that you don’t have to burn through regular ones. The pros are that it has good speed and handling, a very good likeness of his car, and it is definitely a fun kind of nostalgia to bring the video game characters to life.
Maybe they can come up with a new idea for rechargeable battery and come out with some more cars with different characters? Overall I gave it four stars because it functions very well and is robust. Kids do enjoy it.

This remote control car is way better than i expected. It can turn in any direction sitting still which is great for little ones and can change wheels to hovercraft which makes it “strafe” ... it comes with batteries in the car and none in the remote. The ones in the car right out of the box must be just for the wheel flip “try Me” feature because they died quick BUT once swapped holy cow! This thing goes wayyyy faster !!! It pulls wheelies , runs over anything small in its way, and can turn on a dime or do 360s over and over and over again.
Get it ! You won’t regret it :)

Great little Mario toy for your kid. My 3 year old son loves this RC and all his friends are really impressed by it. Some of the adults even inquire where to get it for themselves! It drains battery like crazy but worth it as it does cool tricks and hoover mode is fancy to show off!

Lemme get started, one of these were purchased for one of my Kids back in may as a birthday gift. Grandparents didn’t know it needed as many batteries so they didn’t have enough to make it work. I went in the house and collected batteries from remotes etc to get the kid something to play with. It was just getting by. Cutting out. Stopping on carpet. So grandpa went to the store and picked up a set. With a fresh set of batteries, it suprised me. The little thing rips wheelies, interesting tricks with the wheels folded in. Now every cousin and sister at the party wanted to play with it. Truth be told, this purchase wasn’t for us. It was for a cousins birthday who was there and seen the original ripping around the living room. Again I wasn’t expecting the thing to have so much torque, and take off like it does. All wheel drive.

This has got to be one of the funnest toys for a child, I purchased this for my nephew, he loves Mario, it helps with keeping him distracted from his Nintendo Switch playing his Mario game, great alternative. I only gave it a 4 start because it’s supposed to do a wheelie and you have to have fully charged batteries in order to pull it off, once the battery gets lower it stops doing them, but everything else works great.

Purchased for my 3 yo niece. She's not particularly adept at controlling it with grace at her age but she loves it nonetheless. Build quality is great and the wheels can pivot to go into "anti-gravity" mode, which is a feature from the actual Mario Kart 8 game on the Nintendo Switch. It still drives around almost normally in that mode (it's sort of in drift mode, if that makes sense); basically an aesthetic adjustment for the imaginative child. 4/5 stars because I would've liked to be able to plug a cord into the vehicle and the controller to recharge the batteries; unfortunately, that's not an option.

Overall, pretty fun for the family. It was easy to get up and going and the controls are pretty straight forward to use. There is a button to flip the tires sideways like in Mario Kart, but it is pretty pointless as it won't really move when you do that. It is a little sensitive on the driving and it has some weight behind it so watch out for the baseboards, but it seems pretty durable.
