Explore Mode is the mode the player starts off in. Here, they are free to drive around and are able to customize gates. Any items collected in this mode will always be either [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Triple Mushroom]]s, or [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]]s. Stopping in front of Gate 1 and pressing {{button|switch|X}} will call Lakitu and bring up the menu for the other modes. The previous race created can be viewed in this mode.

''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit'' received generally positive reviews. In most cases, the unique gimmick of the game was praised, along with the more independent concept offered. However, certain factors, such as the boundaries of a player's actual living area, were mentioned. Two different reviews mention ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as being an ultimately superior, though just as intriguing, installment.
