Love this set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids LOVE this set. My favorite part is that it is not motorized so in order to get the cars to go around the track you have to hit the launch controllers. This makes it way more interactive than the motorized ones where you just sit and watch the cars go around. First one to complete 6 laps wins. Even I get in on the fun!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super fun, easy to build, for a wide range of ages

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. Setup took about 15 minutes from opening the box, applying stickers, and getting it all set up. It went together easily.
I have 3 boys ages 8, 5, and 2, and they all were immediately drawn to this and wanted to play with it as soon as they saw the box. When it was set up, it took almost no explaining and the kids knew exactly what to do. The track is fun, it's pretty easy for the kids to hit the launcher and get the car to make the full lap.
There are some cases where the car falls off the track, but that didn't impact the fun. The Mario car definitely does better than a random Hot Wheels car, and it took a few tries to find another car that worked well with this launcher. Overall, compatibility isn't an issue if you have a lot of cars around - you'll find at least a few that work well.
The track does come loose sometimes after play, especially where the initial loops connect to the tower, but it's easy enough to snap the track back into place. Overall this isn't a major concern. Between the car compatibility and the track coming off the tower sometimes, I knocked off a star.
Overall this is an awesome track and especially cool if you're a Mario fan. The Mario car is really great. I like this better than a lot of other Hot Wheels tracks. No batteries is a plus too.

Awesome Mario Kart track

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Mario Kart Ciruit track is very fun Hot Wheels track. It's perfect for anyone who loves to play Mario Kart and looking for a new Hot Wheels track. My kids have other Mario tracks and this one can use pieces found in the other sets. It is a slightly larger track, but easy to assemble and stays together well. Only negative about this is that it only comes with one Mario kart character car but you need two to race. Luckily, the character cars can be purchased separately.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our 3 boys love this set. You can’t go wrong with Mariokart and Hot Wheels. It appeals to a variety of ages as our kids are 6,10, and 12.

Fun for everyone

Posted by: Britt Book Habitue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a ton of fun for everyone. I think it says ages 3+ and in our house the + sure goes all the way up to adult!
The only downsides- only comes with one car (hard to have a race... but some hot wheels work) and the having to slam your hand down on the mushroom for each lap (doesn't seem to bother younger ones, more older ones....instructions say to time your hit to keep it going, but as far as we can tell that's not actually possible, lol).
Even with the downsides, the kids said 5 stars.
The younger kids sit and play with it the longest, devising whole storylines to go along with the races. The older kids and adults in the house just think it's super cool.

Cool Race Track with our favorite character!
on August 23, 2020
Posted by: Yoga Lady
from Harrisburg, PA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy and fun set up by a 10-year-old and very sturdy. A second vehicle in the package would be more useful for racing. Super exciting initially, but with no modifications to be made, it quickly becomes uninteresting. Will add it to other Hot Wheels components. Once it is put together, it does take up a good bit of space.

SOO KOOL!

from West Virginia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son was excited when he seen the box, he said this looks so cool! He was able to put some of this together by himself and I finished the track build, this was very easy to put together and a plus. My son loves the that is is a "character" track. He liked the spinning coins and the race counter. He also thought it was cool.that the cars go upside down on the track.
The negatives: you only get 1 car so he was disappointed he couldn't do a real race. He wished the cars would light up or the track and you have to push a little hard to make the cars go. The stickers were not very good quality, I actually tore a few trying to get them on the track.
Overall, he enjoys playing with the race track but now I'll have to see if I can buy the extra car so he can race them against one another.
