A Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed alongside the system in a "first-look" trailer released on January 16, 2025, and is the first Super Mario game announced for the system. The art style of the game's characters appears to have changed significantly, resembling that of the 2D illustration drawn by Shigehisa Nakaue, much like the in-game art style of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The number of racers per race was increased to 24 compared to the previous 12. Tracks appear to have variants similar to Mario Kart Tour, with some routes being blocked off depending on the version of the course being played. The scope and scale of tracks also appears to be larger than in past Mario Kart entries, with wider and longer courses. Additionally, characters who previously were automatically given different outfits on bikes no longer do so.[1]
It is the first completely new Mario Kart title for a Nintendo game system since Mario Kart 8 in 2014.
