Nintendo Super Mario Kart 8 Mario Anti-Gravity RC Racer, Official by Jakks Pacific, 360 spins, wheelies and drift! - Up to 100 ft. Range - For Kids ages 4+

These are absolutely fantastic, bought them for my nephew and we played with the Mario and Luigi ones for hours, had a great time. Definitely recommend for kids to play with. Would have loved something like this when I was young.

Thankfully the one I got on offer, the batteries were only just starting to leak but was cleanable. They are great fun and good RC cars especially on the black Friday deal. Pity these RC cars didn't have the pull-out tabs to activate the batteries like the Luigi Kart and Mario Movie Kart had and then there would be no need for all these leaks reported.

Usually with mario I wouldn't need to read through reviews so I bought without hesitation. But box arrived damaged and was already used by someone else and sold to me at full price. Battery's was eroded and leaking, controller didn't pair up with car. I called Amazon and they offered a full refund + I could keep the broken car. Which is only fit for the bin. I've since went to Smyth's toystore and bought a second one to find it was also not working properly. Apparently this toy is renowned for not working properly due to dodgy battery's and faulty radio/remote controls.... I was very disappointed because my son wanted this for his birthday. So avoid at all costs. It's not just Amazon's stock, it's the whole super mario range that is bad...

Grandson was delighted with it, just what he asked for parcel was delivered on time and no damage so very pleased thankyou

I bought this for my sons birthday. It wouldn't work because the batteries had some dirty water or corrosion in the compartment. I ordered another and the same thing in the battery compartment. Luckily I managed to clean the one out and it's working but I had to replace all the batteries. As for the actual car it is awesome and my son loves it. Just let down by the battery issue

Honestly, I found this to be so much fun to play around with. We ordered one for our 4 year old daughter, and I'm sure I've played with it way more than she has. First things first though, I would recommend getting a good set of rechargeable batteries. Something like the 2500mAh Duracell or Eneloops, or anything along those lines. Having said that, the batteries lasted a good long time, even when my daughter left the power on for days at a time. I am writing this from the perspective of someone who used to have Tamiya RC cars in the 80s, which would run out of batteries after about 10 minutes and take a day to recharge, so from that point of view this Kart seems to last forever! Controlling this Kart is easy and fun, as you'd expect. It works a little different depending on whether it's in standard mode of anti-gravity mode. When in standard mode, it works well on both hard floors and soft carpets, and it's nice and grippy and responsive. In anti-grav mode, you do need to stick to a hard floor as it'll struggle to move on anything even slightly soft. That's not something I'd consider a negative or a design flaw, as they'd probably have to design actually anti-grav to get round it. I would also recommend using this in a good sized space too. It is very very nippy and whizzes around very quickly, so if you're using it in a smaller room you might find yourself crashing quite often. But it also seems very robust, and we've had no problems after banging it into solid items of furniture. And at the end of the day, this Kart is just fun to mess around with. My daughter loves it, but I'd probably say that I love it more! Heck, I'm just a big kid at heart anyway! And trying all the little tricks is lots of fun too, doing wheelies and donuts and all sorts. Overall, definitely something I'd recommend for kids, and fun for those of us who are still big kids too. I just wish they had a full range of all the Mario Kart characters, it'd be great to get some proper races going with a few of these.

Fantastic toy, especially for indoor play - it was for my 3 yo but my 9 & 13 yo loved it too - fun

Very poor not working after taking it out of the box. Flashing red light on the remote control needed to sent back.
