Start with Magic Maps (First Lap)

Let's warm up those tires and the chat with Magic Maps. Kick off your stream by asking your viewers where they’re tuning in from with a question like, “Where in the world are you joining us from today?” or “If you could race anywhere in the world, where would it be?” Watch as the map lights up with all their replies. Highlight clusters of racers from certain areas and give them a shoutout or a friendly challenge. It’s a perfect ice-breaker to get everyone excited and talking even before the race starts.

Doubles Your Fun with Opinion Polls

Want some deeper feedback or different perspectives from your audience? Fire up the Open-Ended Polls to get everyone talking. This feature's perfect for broad questions like ‘What’s been your favorite Mario Kart memory?’ or ‘Which character do you think has the best speed boost?’ It’s all about letting your community’s voices shine by gathering some diverse feedback and creative responses right from the chat.

Boost Interaction with Live Polls

In the middle of the race, when you’re catching some air on those anti-gravity tracks, why not throw up a Power Poll to see what everyone’s favorite track feature is, or maybe their go-to power-up? With a quick poll, viewers only have to type in the option number, and bam! You’ve got yourself a crowd-voted decision in real-time. It’s an instant hit to get everyone’s opinion, and it keeps the chat lively!

Keep the Hype with the Spinner Wheel

Once the race is in full swing, keep the excitement rolling with the Spinner Wheel! Encourage your chatters to keep bustling by setting a criterion for picking a random winner, like whoever comments during a red shell showdown or when someone pulls off an insane anti-gravity stunt. Let the Spinner Wheel pick a lucky winner from those interactions. Not only will it keep your chat buzzing, but it’ll also ramp up the anticipation – 'cause who doesn't want to be randomly selected as a winner?

Show Off the Chat Vibe with Word Cloud

Wrap up your stream or race session with a bang by using Wonder Words, the word cloud feature. Spark a quick-fire question asking viewers for a synonym of the word ‘Victory’ or the best one-word description for the latest race. Watch as popular responses bubble up bigger and brighter on your screen. Customize these word clouds to your stream’s theme, and use them to give your audience a visual shoutout. It’s all about recognizing their input and making them a part of your content!

Level Up Your Choices with Choice Circle

In the middle of the race, when you’re catching some air on those anti-gravity tracks, why not throw up a Power Poll to see what everyone’s favorite track feature is, or maybe their go-to power-up? With a quick poll, viewers only have to type in the option number, and bam! You’ve got yourself a crowd-voted decision in real-time. It’s an instant hit to get everyone’s opinion, and it keeps the chat lively!
