I had the same question going in and I'm actually kind of surprised at how difficult this information is to find. Here's what I finally concluded, despite Nintendo.com and every review site dancing around the issue.

1) Yes, you do need to purchase two complete Home Circuit sets if you want to race Mario vs. Luigi using physical RC carts. If you jump on this deal (e.g. get the Mario at Amazon and the Luigi at Walmart), you effectively save $80 off of $200.

2) No, you cannot buy just the cart. Listings on Amazon and eBay make it look like you can, but in almost all cases those are not RC carts. The Nintendo Store (both online and offline) doesn't provide the option to buy RC carts separately.

3) It used to be that if you wanted to race head-to-head you'd need to buy two complete Home Circuit Sets AND two Switches. That changed In November 2021 when they updated to version 2.0. So consider yourself lucky for not jumping on at the beginning. BTW, Nintendo's own site sloppily still says [nintendo.com] you have to buy two Switches, but that hasn't been true since the 2.0 update.
These have been off an on this price since launch. Come on $40!!

Nabbed both. Thanks! Been on the fence about this for a long time, but as much as this will be for my kids, I have some conferences I'm running coming up and am actually going to break this out during evening socials/open bars. Should be fascinating to watch.

question, the people that helped make this are making a non mario version that may be better. Does anyone off the top of there head know what I'm talking about and what it is called?

If I want to play with two players, do I have to buy another set or can I just buy another car?

Does Nintendo sell a car without the software and track material?

I got this long time back when it was at this price. My kids just got excited and played a couple times and it's been just sitting there. I think it might be more exciting when Mario Kart 8 was new and still a hit. But the novelty has worn off quickly and long ago. Now it's just a decoration at my house.😅

The studio you're thinking of is Velan Studios, and the product you're probably thinking of is Hot Wheels Rift Rally for the PS5.

They just announced a few days ago that they've postponed the release date to later this month.

Honestly, I don't see this version of the game taking off. The Hot Wheels brand has been associated with terrible video games over the years, so regardless of whatever performance and graphics improvements the PS5 years brings, I don't think people are going to pay a premium for what looks like a Mario Kart Live clone.
