What’s new in Mario Kart World?

Mario Kart World has been developed using the power of the revolutionary Nintendo Switch 2, allowing you to enjoy spectacular next-gen graphics and ultra-smooth gameplay. What makes this release unique? Here are the highlights:

• Go off-grid and play Mario Kart World sandbox-style. You decide where to go—no fixed track required. Take the most amazing photos of what you see and experience along the way.
• Welcome to Grand Prix mode! All tracks in this racing game are interconnected, just like in many Super Mario video games. Race through meadows, past volcanoes, and across well-known Super Mario worlds and more. Shift seamlessly from one track to another.
• Play online with up to 24 racers simultaneously. Create chaos by throwing banana peels or shells, or stay just ahead of your friends to win.
• Play the Knockout Rally and race from track to track without pit stops. Hit every checkpoint—but fall behind, and your racing adventure ends there.
• Play Mario Kart World locally with up to 4 players on a single Switch 2 console using the joy-con 2 control sticks or a separately sold steering wheel that holds a joy-con 2 for a more challenging gaming experience.
• Use the separately available Nintendo Switch 2 camera to see each other while gaming and share your screen and audio (GameChat) for a true shared gaming experience during an (online) match.
