Is there a solid single player game or is it mainly MP focused? And will the MP be a disaster for me, because of all the people experienced in the Wii U version wiping the floor with me?

Yes, that turned out to be more than two questions.

2 questions pls:
1. WTF is smart steering referred to on previous page? Does it mean you just need to accelerate/brake and it turns automatically? My kids struggle with oversteering on driving games you see

2.where do I find my friend number?

Well it's 49.99 on the eshop. I'm probably one of he worst Mario Kart players out there, so I'm 100% a noob. Always lose to friends etc. That said anyone can play this game. My mum probably could play this. It has an option too I noticed called smart steering, I assume this is some kind of control assistance. I turned it off though.

1. Auto steer keeps you on the track without you needing to turn.

You can also turn on auto acceleration/braking so you literally don't have to do anything other than throw items.

2. In the top left of the home menu, click on your avatar and look at your profile. It's listed there.

£49.99 and I think the download is just under 7GB.

Completely noob friendly.

The main single player just consists of 8 cups made up of four tracks each. You can do the battle mode and stuff against AI.

You should be fine in MP.

Does it really? i haven't seen the switch version running. But comparisons i saw last week suggest that there was hardly any difference. Obviously these comparisons were only taken from release videos etc..
