The main menu for Mario kart 8 Deluxe is a fairly simple, it gives you four options these being, single player, multiplayer, online (one player), online (two player) and Mario Kart Tv. Once you selected one of the four, for example if you pick single player it will then take you to a different screen which will allow you to select the difficulty of the race. Furthermore, once you have selected the difficulty your a taken to a screen which lets you pick your racer and kart.
The main purpose for this game is entertainment with the menu screens being very easy to navigate, this links with the target audience since this product is mainly targeted at younger people mainly aged 10-16. With this being a game that is known all around the world the main psychographic for this product would be mainstreamers because Nintendo is a trusted company that has made many Mario Kart games in the past and has made money from them games, it is also liked by a lot of people which links with mainstreamers since they think they are part of a larger group of like minded people.
Mario Kart has some accessibility settings that give the user an option between smart steering and auto acceleration this helps people how have something like Parkinson disease can easily play the game without having any disadvantages this can also link with age differences, for example if you were to play the game with your grandma then you could switch the controls to auto accelerate. This would make it easier since they wouldn't struggle using the other buttons and it gives them time to learn what each button does.
For the app size for this game it is about 6.7 GB this matters because this is through downloading the game through the in App Store although the Nintendo website do suggest you will need an additional 7 GB of storage for the game, this could take up hours depending on your WiFi speeds. In contrast, if you were to buy a psychical copy of the game it could take longer to install this is probably due to the fact that it takes up more storage in the hard drive.

When using this game the features on it are very simple, like what I said above all you need to do is select which game mode you'd like to play, this being from the four options in the screenshot above, and then press on the difficulty. Once you have chosen these two then you can select your character and the track you'd like to race on.
When a user opens up TikTok they are instantly greeted with a video on their "for you" page this may be a bit confusing for the older generation since they wouldn't be used to having a video play straight away. At the bottom of the screen these are labelled as home, search, create, inbox and profile. It is a consistent menu that stays at the bottom of the screen even when scrolling down, the menus also uses icons for people who have issues with their eyes or for the older generation so it is easier to understand.
The main target audience for TikTok is 13-25 year old's, being open to all genders. Even with the target audience for this app is 13-25 years old's that doesn't mean that older or younger people can't access the app, the apps open community has to it becoming one of the most used apps this year. This is also another mainstream product that is liked by mainstreamers this is because before the app was called Tik Tok it was Music.ly which was a trusted app and was vert popular during 2014 and then came back as Tik Tok 2 years later in 2016.

If you were to load the website up then it would take a lot longer depending on your cpu, RAM and WiFi signal. Furthermore, since all of the content on the app/website is video based it would take a lot longer to load up then something like instagram because Instagram is mainly used for photos. Videos may always have a larger file size. The reason videos have a bigger file size is because your device is having to convert all the pixels from each frame of the video and then convert it into real time footage.
When opening Amazon Prime Video you are welcome to multiple categories the first thing you see is a banner across the screen advertise the new film or series that is out.

Home, store, channels, categories, my stuff, downloads and kids. You can close the side menu tab as you scroll down and it is a fixed menu screen.
Furthermore, the main demographic for this product is all ages, since there is the kids section, and also all genders. When mainly thinking about psychographics it is not as mainstream as Netflix but it is still very mainstream and is mainly accessed by mainstreamers. It is rather popular among the elderly since it has some spin offs to shows they like e.g. Top Gear. It also is included when people get Amazon prime for the shopping app/website so a lot of parents get amazon prime to help out with shopping.
The file size for 28MB , which for an app this size on your phone or tablet is rather small since if you were to get a phone that had a storage of 64GB it would only take up 0.0273 of your storage.
