Mario Kart Live Home Circuit - Mario Luigi Set


Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit -Mario Set - Nintendo Switch Mario Set Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Nintendo finally created something that I know what the Nintendo Switch can be used for. Controlling a robot or a car. Would have been better instead of just a racing car, make kids and adults alike to learn coding to control the smart car or the smart robot. Just like what you can do with a raspberry pi or an Arduino.

I'm surprised, no maker has tried to make an adapter to be used with the Nintendo Switch. I mean, there is already a Bluetooth adapter for the switch. Which, you can use to connect to a headphone, a controller, and even a keyboard and mouse. I'm pretty sure they can come out with something so that people can use their Switch to control other devices.



Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit -Mario Set - Nintendo Switch Mario Set Edition

  • Control a real-life Mario Kart with Nintendo Switch and watch it come to life in the game!
  • Turn your home into a Mario Kart course of your design
  • Zoom around the house with up to three friends
  • Custom course materials not included. Additional games, systems, and karts required for multiplayer mode. Systems and karts sold separately. Game download required and available as Free download on Nintendo eShop.

You can already learn coding with software like SmileBASIC 4 and FUZE 4 which is already available on the Nintendo Switch. They might not be Python but, pretty close. Port it to the Switch and the Switch will be a great learning device. And not just for gaming. If you guys been reading my blog, you'll know about how I wanted this.

I like the idea of using the Nintendo Switch as a learning device. Not just for entertainment and gaming. With the ability to connect your mouse and keyboard, you can also use it as a computer. You can already dock your Nintendo Switch to a monitor. So, why not having educational apps for it? Where children can learn math or science or whatever.

One of the good things I see for the Mario Kart Live is that even the Nintendo Switch lite owner can play this. Switch lite owner can't play with Labo, because they can't take off the controller. So, at least this is something both the device owners can enjoy. I actually thought that a Mario drone might also be feasible in the future. Wouldn't that be cool?

For me, that is what's so great about the Nintendo Switch. It's a gaming console that you can dock and also play in a handheld mode. The PS5 and Xbox series X might have the latest and the greatest CPU and GPU but the Nintendo Switch is more than just a gaming console. For those that don't like to stay indoors or having to move a lot, for work or for play, the Nintendo Switch is Godsend.

If you have STEM coding learning toys like the above for the Nintendo Switch that will be really cool. This is basically what I'm talking about. A great learning tool to be paired with the Nintendo Switch. Especially, since the Nintendo Switch already comes with a controller. You can already create your own game with SmileBASIC 4 and the control codes are easily available.

Another thing is that Mario Kart Live also comes with a camera on the car that you can view on your Nintendo Switch screen. It's practically great for a drone too. The irony is that the switch doesn't have a camera like the Nintendo 3DS but, you can use the camera on adapter device and take pictures or videos. Let me see, how bout using that as a security camera too?

I'm wondering if Nintendo is actually using the Arduino or Raspberry pi inside the Mario Kart Live car. There are so many possibilities with it. Just like what you can do with a raspberry pi or Arduino. Makers should definitely take advantage of this capability. Although, I'm not sure about the type of coding software allowed for the Nintendo Switch.

Anyway, things are getting pretty interesting with the Nintendo Switch. I hope, the more educational program will be available for it and also let's see Mario Drone next with the ability to take pictures and videos!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Learning to code with scratch are really fun!

If you have kids and you want them to learn about coding, then check out the scratch coding cards!



scratch coding cards creative coding activities for kids

Scratch is the wildly popular educational programming language used in millions of homes and schools worldwide to create interactive art, stories, games, simulations, and music videos.With "The Scratch Activity Cards," a colorful 52-card deck, kids work through beginner-friendly coding projects.

Simple activities like a Racing Game, Hide and Seek, Pong, and a fun Dance Party grab a young programmer's attention while they learn about core programming concepts like variables, flow control, and subroutines.

This fun and straightforward introduction to coding break projects down into step-by-step instructions and the collection can be easily shared among small groups at home or in school. Learning how to write code can be frustrating for beginners, but Scratch's graphic, block-based approach lets kids gain confidence in their skills as they learn the ropes.

For teachers and parents looking to introduce young people to coding, this engaging set of activities is the perfect first step into the world of creative coding with Scratch, encouraging kids to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. For Ages 8 and Up.

Gift your kids a head start into coding!
