Tracks appear to have multiple routes blocked off with barriers, potentially similar to either ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''{{'}}s course variants, or with routes changing each lap like in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''. 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 wear them.<ref name=FirstLook>Nintendo of America (January 16, 2025).

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 multiple routes blocked off with barriers, potentially similar to either Mario Kart Tour's course variants, or with routes changing each lap like in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass. 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 wear them.[1]
