Which Mario Kart game was developed by Velan Studios?

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit was developed by Velan Studios.

Released in 2020 for Nintendo Switch, Home Circuit is unlike the series’ usual software-only racers. Players drive physical radio-controlled Mario or Luigi karts around a real room, while an onboard camera streams the view to the Switch. The game overlays virtual opponents, items, hazards, and course elements onto that camera feed, creating a mixed-reality race.

Velan Studios originated the concept and built the prototype, while Nintendo collaborated on the project and produced the hardware. Nintendo announced the game in September 2020 as part of the Super Mario 35th-anniversary celebrations; it launched on October 16, 2020. The package included a physical kart, four numbered gates, arrow signs, and charging equipment, but the game software itself was downloaded rather than supplied on a game card.

A common mix-up is crediting Nintendo alone because Mario Kart is a Nintendo franchise. Nintendo published Home Circuit and contributed to its development, but Velan Studios is the credited primary developer. Velan later applied similar mixed-reality ideas to Hot Wheels: Rift Rally.
