The Video Displayed From the Kart is Choppy or Sometimes Skips (Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit)

Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model

Use this article when the video displayed on the console screen seems choppy or sometimes skips while using the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit set.

Possible solutions

  • Check for available updates.

    Verify that the game software and the console are both up to date.

  • Close the software and restart the console.
  • Decrease the distance between the kart and the console.

    If the distance between the console and the kart exceeds 15 ft, the wireless communication will deteriorate, which tends to make the video choppy.

  • Power off any unnecessary devices that may cause interference.

    Wireless communication may also deteriorate due to other wireless devices being nearby.

  • Set up the course in a different location.

    If there are large obstacles such as walls between the Nintendo Switch console and the kart, this may cause interference. Try setting up the course away from large obstacles or set up the course in a different location.

Situation not resolved

If after following the above troubleshooting, the video issue persists within a short distance between the console and the kart, their is likely an issue with the kart.

The Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit accessories (Mario set and Luigi set) are no longer able to be sent in for service. Please see our information on Where Can I Find Refurbished, Older, & Used Nintendo Products? if you're interested in purchasing a replacement.
