Layout of the RC Car Challenge

The RC Car Challenge is a minigame featured in Super Mario Odyssey. It appears in the Metro Kingdom, found inside a building across the street from the Crazy Cap store. Mario is allowed access only after first collecting the "Remotely Captured Car" Power Moon from just outside the building, which is a tutorial for RC Car controls.

Mario must capture the hatless New Donker controlling the RC Car at the beginning of the challenge and complete three laps of a short course with the car. The player must use the left Control Stick Control Stick to accelerate/decelerate the car and the right Control Stick Control Stick to steer it, while avoiding losing speed by crashing into walls. Once the starting countdown is completed, Mario can release the New Donker to reset. He also releases after the player views the final times recorded after completing the third lap. Completing all three laps within 35 seconds awards the player the "RC Car Pro!" Power Moon and praise from a group of spectating New Donkers. After Mario destroys the Metro Kingdom's Moon Rock at the end of the game, the challenge is able to be done again for the "RC Car Champ!" Power Moon, though all three laps must be completed within 26 seconds.

The music used in this minigame is an arrangement of the theme for the Mario Circuit courses from Super Mario Kart.

There is a Rankings Board here, which shows global and friend leaderboards for this challenge and all other challenges in the game.
