One innovative Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit owner has used the game and its RC kart to thread a wire under some floorboards.
Nintendo will do anything other than give us Mario Kart 9, or at least that's how it feels. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart Tour, and last year the strangest installment yet, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. A game that requires you to also buy a Mario or Luigi-themed RC car in order to play it. As well as the kit that allows you to build tracks just about anywhere you like.
Considering Mario Kart Live is a spinoff of a spinoff, and the entire kit you need to play it costs almost $100, it has actually sold quite well. More than 1.2 million copies at last count. That number might increase significantly if enough people see what Kenny England has been up to with his copy of the game and accompanying RC car.

England tweeted photos of the car being used to complete what was proving to be a particularly difficult DIY task to complete. Threading a wire underneath some floorboards. The pics, which you can check out below, show the Mario kart having a wire tied to the back of it before being sent beneath the floorboards. England then grabs his Switch as the camera on the kart helps him navigate the car to where the wire needs to re-emerge.
England has labeled himself a “professional problem solver” and honestly, that's hard to argue with. The solution is getting a lot of attention on Twitter, and in the replies under the original post England has revealed it was a last-ditch attempt to get the job done. Until now we thought the only other use Mario Kart Live had was for scaring cats who happened to wander onto any player-made tracks.
Unlike Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart Live actually received a surprise update recently. The update added new courses and fresh kart designs. Elsewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom, it's almost time for Lego Mario to be joined by his block-based brother, Lego Luigi. The expansion to Mario's Lego world will be here on August 1, and followed by an airship sometime in the future.
