Mario Kart World is an upcoming game in the Mario Kart series set to be released worldwide as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. Initially teased during the Nintendo Switch 2's reveal trailer on January 16, 2025 as the first game shown for the system,^[11] the game was properly revealed in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025. It is the sixteenth entry in the Mario Kart series, the twelfth to be released by Nintendo, and the first new Mario Kart title since Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit (released almost five years prior). It is also the first Mario Kart game to be a launch title for its console.

The art style of the game's characters appears to have changed significantly to resemble 2D illustrations drawn by Shigehisa Nakaue, much like the in-game art style of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Additionally, characters now have a wide variety of alternate costumes, and the clothing worn by characters is substantially more detailed than in previous games. The game's roster marked the playable debut of many enemies from across the series, including Cataquack, Coin Coffer, Swoop, and Conkdor, among many more. Altogether, this game features the most brand new playable character additions to the Mario Kart series to date. Two new in-game modes were also added: Knockout Tour and Free Roam.

The game was covered during the Nintendo Treehouse: Live events on April 3 and 4, 2025.^[12]^[13] A dedicated Nintendo Direct for the game titled the "Mario Kart World Direct" broadcast on April 17, 2025 at 6:00 a.m. PST / 9:00 a.m. EST / 2:00 p.m. BST.^[14]

Gameplay

New features

Races now consist of 24 racers, doubling from the 12 seen in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 and tripling from the eight seen in the other entries. Players receive points in racing as before, with some positions receiving the same number of points.^[12]

Gliders and driving underwater, introduced in Mario Kart 7, along with anti-gravity, introduced in Mario Kart 8, do not return in Mario Kart World. Gliders are replaced by wings on the vehicles that allow them to glide in a similar manner. When going over water, the wheels of all vehicles change into water skis, allowing them to float.^[12] Both of these new mechanics create a comparable vehicle system to Diddy Kong Racing.

Many new mechanics for karts are introduced in this game: karts now have the ability to drive on walls after a height boost and balance on railings and other thin platforms to quickly charge up Mini-Turbos.^[12] When holding down the button after a hop without turning, players can charge up a Charge Jump instead of initiating a drift.^[15]^[14] After such a jump, the player is granted a small speed boost similar to a Mini-Turbo. The jumps can be charged, yielding blue and then yellow sparks, with yellow sparks granting a longer-lasting boost after landing.^[16]^[17] A new Rewind feature has also been added, which allows the player to rewind back to where they were before if they make a mistake. However, this feature does not rewind the other racers and can only be used in Free Roam or in solo races.^[14]

Unlike previous installments, all of the courses in the game take place on a large, open world, connected via the newly introduced intermissions,^[18] which are long, non-looping tracks filled with various hazards that connect from one course to another during races.^[1]

Players are able to enter large vehicles scattered around the world, such as cargo trucks, boats, or UFOs, and control them from the inside.^[1]^[17]^[19]

Game modes

Grand Prix

Grand Prix returns as the main game mode from previous games, where the player races through four tracks of a cup in an attempt to get the most points, with higher placements yielding more points. However, the format of the Grand Prix has been changed significantly from previous games. Now, only the first race of a cup follows the traditional three-lap format. The last three races follow a sectioned format instead, with the first two sections (or more in certain cases) of the race taking place across intermissions that transition from the previous course to the next, while the final section consists of one lap of that next course.^[12]

Time Trials

Time Trials return and function the same as they have previously. Players drive through a selected course to complete it as fast as possible. Like in previous games, players can race against ghost times set by other players online. It is currently unknown if Staff Ghosts return.^[14]

VS Race

VS Race allows up to four players to play together locally and eight players to play wireless. Players can choose to race in regular three-lap races on a single course or choose a course to start at, then choose another course that is connected to the starting course to drive towards. Team races return from previous entries, but it is now possible to have up to four teams instead of only two. Class, item, CPU difficulty, and race count settings also return, with odd-numbered race counts returning from Mario Kart Wii.^[14]

Battle

Battle modes return, but as in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7, there are only two battle modes to choose from: Balloon Battle and Coin Runners. Coin Runners functions similarly to how it does in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but Balloon Battle has been reverted back to the elimination-based system used outside of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.^[14]

Knockout Tour

Knockout Tour is an all-out battle mode where players race over consecutive tracks across the open world and are eliminated on a specific lap if they are in the last four places. Unlike races, there are no breaks in between, as players who qualify for the next race will simply continue in it.^[1]

Knockout Tour consists of rallies rather than cups, with each of the eight rallies having 6 races within. Unlike the Grand Prix, Knockout Tour focuses primarily on the intermissions between the courses, The first five races take place on a continuous path of them, with each checkpoint eliminating the players that place in the bottom four of the group. For the final race, the last four players standing will race a lap around the final course.^[20] This mode allows players to configure intermissions in the rules, though it is currently unknown how they can be configured.^[18]

Panels, and Peach Medallions appear as discoverable objects. P-Switches activate missions reminiscent of the Missions mode from Mario Kart DS.^[14] CPU drivers can also be encountered in Free Roam.^[12]

Characters

Racers

There are currently 50 racers confirmed, including 30 characters returning from past installments and 20 new playable characters, all of which aside from Goomba, Piranha Plant, Pianta, Spike, and Dolphin also making their first playable appearance in a video game overall. All new characters except Coin Coffer also appear in the game as either background characters or obstacles during races. Additionally, Nabbit, Hammer Bro, Chargin' Chuck, and Monty Mole are playable for the first time in a home console Mario Kart game, following their debuts in Mario Kart Tour.

Returning characters

New characters

Character outfits

Outfits for characters return from Mario Kart Tour. Some outfits use designs seen previously in games such as Mario Kart Tour and Super Mario Odyssey. These outfits are obtained mid-race after eating Dash Food, with certain characters having up to 9 outfits. In the game's demo, it is shown that outfits have their own slot on the character selection screen, unlike in Mario Kart 8 and its port (except for Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach), though it is unknown if this will apply to the final game. Consuming Dash Food unlocks outfits for use anytime, and the type of food the player uses determines the outfit the character wears.^[14]

Courses

The interconnected world map, without Rainbow Road's icon

So far, Mario Kart World is known to have 30 courses (32 if the two routes for Crown City and Peach Stadium are counted separately); 16 (18) of those courses are new, while 14 return from previous entries, including one course that debuted in both Mario Kart Tour and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, two courses each from Super Mario Kart (which are combined versions of multiple courses from the game), Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7, and three courses from Mario Kart DS, while no courses from Mario Kart: Super Circuit or Mario Kart 8 are shown to return so far. Of the returning courses, three of them (Wario Stadium, Sky-High Sundae, and Toad's Factory) make their debuts as classic courses.

Classic courses in this game (marked with their origin game's prefix below) have been revamped to an even greater extent than that of Mario Kart 8, bearing even less resemblance to the original courses than as they appeared in previous games. Unlike Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart Tour, all classic courses use the modern Mario Kart logo for their finish lines, regardless of what game they originated from. This is the first Mario Kart game since Mario Kart: Super Circuit to not have prefixes appended to the names of any of the classic race courses, and the first for battle courses since Mario Kart DS. It is also the first console entry to primarily use courses that have already reappeared at least once, rather than courses that have not reappeared yet.

While not confirmed to be playable as traditional race courses, several other courses can be seen or visited in the world mapMedia:MK World map.png or during intermissions, including Ghost Valley 1, Ghost Valley 2, and Ghost Valley 3 at the entrance to Boo Cinema, Koopa Beach 1 next to Koopa Troopa Beach, and Choco Island 2 just south-west of Choco Mountain.^[49] If these are counted, then Koopa Beach 1 and Ghost Valley 3 increase the number of courses making their classic course debut to five.

Courses with differing names between British English and American English once again use their respective name depending on the game's region, unlike in Tour.

Grand Prix

Unlike previous games since Mario Kart DS, the game's cups are not separated between new and classic courses, with the game's known seven cups instead featuring a varying amount of both types of courses, similar to Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's DLC cups.^[1] Additionally, this is the second Mario Kart game after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to have cups with multiple courses from the same game, as the Flower, Banana, and Lightning Cups have two tracks from Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart Wii, respectively.

The backgrounds of the cup icons are reflective of the region the cup's courses are located in. For example, the Star Cup's icon has an icy background, as its courses are near or within the snow region.

Battle courses

There are currently six known battle courses. Like the B variants of courses from Mario Kart Tour, the battle courses in Mario Kart World take place in closed off areas of the main race courses or intermissions rather than taking place in unique locations. However, some are more intricately designed akin to older battle courses.

A battle course that takes place in the vicinity of DK Pass^[14]
A battle course that takes place in Moo Moo Meadows^[14]
A battle course that takes place in the vicinity of Peach Stadium^[14]
A battle course that takes place in the vicinity of Dino Dino Jungle^[14]
A battle course that takes place in the vicinity of Salty Salty Speedway^[63]
Big Donut (N64)^[14]

Vehicles

Karts, bikes, and ATVs all return in Mario Kart World, the latter two following their absence in Mario Kart Tour. However, kart customization as seen in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 does not return, with the vehicles in this game instead sporting a unique wheel design, and some lacking wheels entirely in favor of treads or skis. Like the aforementioned two games however, vehicles are unlocked by collecting a certain number of coins.^[64] Stickers on vehicles also appear to be customizable.^[14] Despite ATVs returning, the Standard ATV does not.

There are currently 40 known vehicles in the game, including 23 karts, 11 bikes, and 6 ATVs. Vehicles returning from previous installments are marked with their corresponding game in parentheses.

Items

As with Mario Kart Tour, items are automatically held behind racers in this game.^[12]

Of the returning items, the Ice Flower, Hammer, and Coin Box make their first appearance in a home console Mario Kart debut following their initial debut in Mario Kart Tour. Additionally, the Feather is now usable during races like in Super Mario Kart, rather than being exclusive to the Battle mode like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour.^[81] Despite being returning items, the Ice Flower, Coin Shell, Coin Box, Hammer, Feather, and Mega Mushroom are all classified as new items on the game's Japanese website and/or in the Mario Kart World Direct.^[82]^[14]

Items found on the track
Item Box	Gives the player a random item. Some float down from the sky attached to parachutes.^[16]

Differences from previous Mario Kart games

Races now consist of 24 racers compared to the 8 or 12 from previous games.
By default, a Grand Prix now involves the first track of the cup being played with all three laps before subsequent races involve two-section intermissions leading into a full lap of a track for the final section.^[12]
Cups are now based more on regions within the game's map than following an overall difficulty progression across the game.
Getting hit by a car or train at certain angles causes the player to become unbalanced as opposed to spinning out.^[12]
Rather than using hang-gliders like in games since Mario Kart 7, vehicles now use retractable wings to soar through the air.
Lakitu has mostly been reverted to his pre-Mario Kart 8 behavior, where he no longer immediately appears to pick up a racer should they fall off of a course; however, if a racer falls off a course in the middle of a gliding section, he will place them back in the air so they continue gliding rather than dragging them to the nearest road.^[16]
Vehicles no longer drive underwater, and instead continue along the surface of the water.
The amount of coins a player can hold now caps off at 20 compared to the previous 10.
Opening cinematics before races in the Grand Prix mode now all happen at once before the first race.^[12]
Racers can now trick multiple times in the air.^[12]
Racers can now charge up a Charge Jump, allowing them to gain additional height, perform tricks, and gain speed boosts.^[15]^[14]
Racers may now trick at any time while gliding.^[12]
Racers can now trick off of other racers or obstacles if they land on top of them.^[12]^[15]
The drivers of car obstacles are now visible.
Goombas now charge towards racers when noticing them (similar to the 3D Super Mario games), rather than simply walking in place or in a left-to-right pattern.^[12]
Explosions on the surface of water will create waves, which characters can trick off of.^[89]

Items

The Lightning now only shocks players ahead of the user, rather than all opponents.^[41]
The Bullet Bill no longer causes players that it hits at certain angles to spin out.^[16]
The Fire Flower now has a limit of eight fireballs, compared to the previous 10 in Mario Kart 8.^[13]
The Boomerang Flower now has a time limit when using it and does not leave the item slot until it is fully used up, similar to the Fire Flower. This allows for it to be used up to four times, compared to to the previous three in Mario Kart 8.^[41]
Using the Feather item now allows the user to trick after using it.^[13]
Stars can be found bouncing along the ground, as they do in the 2D Super Mario games, in Free Roam, instead of remaining stationary.^[74]
Racers under the effect of the Mega Mushroom item no longer shrink back to normal size when hit by Lightning.^[90]
Items now float on the surface of water, rather than sinking.^[71]

Players receive points in racing as before, with some positions receiving the same number of points.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/> [[Bike]]s and [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]]s return following their absence in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Some karts in this game utilize unique wheel designs, with some lacking wheels entirely in favor of {{wp|Continuous track|treads}}. Kart customization as seen in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' does not return, and gliders introduced in ''Mario Kart 7'' are also absent; instead, karts can now extend wings, which function the same as gliders. Karts can also now drive along the top of water rather than beneath it, with both new mechanics creating a comparable vehicle system to ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. Karts also gain the ability to drive on walls after a height boost without the need of [[anti-gravity]], and balance on railings and other thin platforms to quickly charge up [[Mini-Turbo]]s.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/> When holding down the button after a [[Hop (move)|hop]] without turning, players can charge up a short jump instead of initiating a [[drift]].<ref name=Sliver/> After such a jump, the player is granted a small speed boost similar to a Mini-Turbo.

Knockout Tour is an all-out battle mode where players race over consecutive tracks and are eliminated on a specific lap if not met after the required amount of racers, while Free Roam is an open-world adventure mode where one or multiple players can freely explore any track both on- and off-road.<ref name=Direct/>
+The art style of the game's characters appears to have changed significantly to resemble 2D illustrations drawn by [[Shigehisa Nakaue]], much like the in-game art style of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Additionally, characters now have a wide variety of alternate costumes, and the clothing worn by characters is substantially more detailed than in previous games. The game's roster marked the playable debut of many enemies from across the series, including [[Cataquack]], [[Coin Coffer]], [[Swoop]], and [[Conkdor]], among many more. Altogether, this game features the most brand new playable character additions to the ''Mario Kart'' series to date. Two new in-game modes were also added: Knockout Tour and Free Roam.

+==Gameplay==
+===New features===
+Races now consist of 24 racers, doubling from the 12 seen in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and tripling from the eight seen in the other entries. Players receive points in racing as before, with some positions receiving the same number of points.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/>
+[[Glider]]s and driving underwater, introduced in ''Mario Kart 7'', along with [[anti-gravity]], introduced in ''Mario Kart 8'', do not return in ''Mario Kart World''. Gliders are replaced by wings on the vehicles that allow them to glide in a similar manner. When going over water, the wheels of all vehicles change into water skis, allowing them to float.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/> Both of these new mechanics create a comparable vehicle system to ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''.
+Many new mechanics for karts are introduced in this game: karts now have the ability to drive on walls after a height boost and balance on railings and other thin platforms to quickly charge up [[Mini-Turbo]]s.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/> When holding down the button after a [[Hop (move)|hop]] without turning, players can charge up a [[Charge Jump]] instead of initiating a [[drift]].<ref name=Sliver/><ref name=MKWDirect/> After such a jump, the player is granted a small speed boost similar to a Mini-Turbo. The jumps can be charged, yielding blue and then yellow sparks, with yellow sparks granting a longer-lasting boost after landing.<ref name=Valbuena /><ref name=GettingMadz>{{cite|title=I played Mario Kart World EARLY and found something.|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_INoW9UoUv0|date=April 11, 2025|author=GettingMadz|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 11, 2025}}</ref> A new [[Rewind]] feature has also been added, which allows the player to rewind back to where they were before if they make a mistake. However, this feature does not rewind the other racers and can only be used in Free Roam or in solo races.<ref name=MKWDirect/>
+Unlike previous installments, all of the courses in the game take place on a large, open world, connected via the newly introduced [[intermission]]s,<ref name=KnockoutRules>{{file link|MKWorld Knockout Tour Menu.png|Screenshot showing the Knockout Tour rules menu}}</ref> which are long, non-looping tracks filled with various hazards that connect from one course to another during races.<ref name=Direct/>

+==Game modes==
+===Grand Prix===
+Grand Prix returns as the main game mode from previous games, where the player races through four tracks of a cup in an attempt to get the most points, with higher placements yielding more points. However, the format of the Grand Prix has been changed significantly from previous games. Now, only the first race of a cup follows the traditional three-lap format. The last three races follow a sectioned format instead, with the first two sections (or more in certain cases) of the race taking place across intermissions that transition from the previous course to the next, while the final section consists of one lap of that next course.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/>
+===Time Trials===
+Time Trials return and function the same as they have previously. Players drive through a selected course to complete it as fast as possible. Like in previous games, players can race against [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|ghost times]] set by other players online. It is currently unknown if Staff Ghosts return.<ref name=MKWDirect/>
+===VS Race===
+VS Race allows up to four players to play together locally and eight players to play wireless. Players can choose to race in regular three-lap races on a single course or choose a course to start at, then choose another course that is connected to the starting course to drive towards. Team races return from previous entries, but it is now possible to have up to four teams instead of only two. Class, item, CPU difficulty, and race count settings also return, with odd-numbered race counts returning from ''Mario Kart Wii''.<ref name=MKWDirect/>
+===Battle===
+[[Battle]] modes return, but as in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', there are only two battle modes to choose from: Balloon Battle and Coin Runners. Coin Runners functions similarly to how it does in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', but Balloon Battle has been reverted back to the elimination-based system used outside of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.<ref name=MKWDirect/>
+===Knockout Tour===
+Knockout Tour is an all-out battle mode where players race over consecutive tracks across the open world and are eliminated on a specific lap if they are in the last four places. Unlike races, there are no breaks in between, as players who qualify for the next race will simply continue in it.<ref name=Direct/>
+Knockout Tour consists of rallies rather than cups, with each of the eight rallies having 6 races within. Unlike the Grand Prix, Knockout Tour focuses primarily on the intermissions between the courses, The first five races take place on a continuous path of them, with each checkpoint eliminating the players that place in the bottom four of the group. For the final race, the last four players standing will race a lap around the final course.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dJg4PFrrQ</ref> This mode allows players to configure intermissions in the rules, though it is currently unknown how they can be configured.<ref name=KnockoutRules/>

-====Character costumes====
+====Character outfits====
-Some characters now have costumes that they can wear, similar to ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', with some costumes from those games making a return. These costumes are obtained mid-race after eating various food items, with certain characters having up to 10 costumes. In the game's demo, it is shown that costumes have their own slot on the character selection screen, unlike in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', though it is unknown if this will apply to the final game.
+Outfits for characters return from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Some outfits use designs seen previously in games such as ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. These outfits are obtained mid-race after eating [[Dash Food]], with certain characters having up to 9 outfits. In the game's demo, it is shown that outfits have their own slot on the character selection screen, unlike in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|port]] (except for [[Tanooki Mario]] and [[Cat Mario|Cat Peach]]), though it is unknown if this will apply to the final game. Consuming Dash Food unlocks outfits for use anytime, and the type of food the player uses determines the outfit the character wears.<ref name=MKWDirect/>

-So far, ''Mario Kart World'' is known to have 30 courses (32 if the two routes for [[Crown City]] and [[Peach Stadium]] are counted separately). 16 (18) of those courses are [[new course|new]], while 14 [[classic course|return]] from previous entries, including one course from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', two courses each from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' (which are combined versions of five courses from the game), ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and three courses from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', while no courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' are shown to return so far. New to the series are [[intermission]]s,<ref name=KnockoutRules>{{file link|MKWorld Knockout Tour Menu.png|Screenshot showing the Knockout Tour rules menu}}</ref> which are long, non-looping tracks filled with various hazards that connect from one course to another across a large, open world, which is explorable in Free Roam mode.<ref name=Direct/>
+So far, ''Mario Kart World'' is known to have 30 courses (32 if the two routes for [[Crown City]] and [[Peach Stadium]] are counted separately); 16 (18) of those courses are [[new course|new]], while 14 [[classic course|return]] from previous entries, including one course that debuted in both ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', two courses each from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' (which are combined versions of multiple courses from the game), ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and three courses from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', while no courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' or ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' are shown to return so far. Of the returning courses, three of them ([[Wario Stadium]], [[Sky-High Sundae]], and [[Toad's Factory]]) make their debuts as classic courses.
-Classic courses in this game (marked with their origin game's prefix below) have been significantly revamped, bearing even less resemblance to the original courses than as they appeared in previous games. Unlike previous games since ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the game's cups are not separated between new and classic courses, with the game's known seven cups instead featuring a varying amount of both types of courses.<ref name=Direct/> This is the first ''Mario Kart'' game since ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' to not have prefixes appended to the names of any of the classic courses.
+Classic courses in this game (marked with their origin game's prefix below) have been revamped to an even greater extent than that of ''Mario Kart 8'', bearing even less resemblance to the original courses than as they appeared in previous games. Unlike ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart Tour'', all classic courses use the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo for their finish lines, regardless of what game they originated from. This is the first ''Mario Kart'' game since ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' to not have prefixes appended to the names of any of the classic race courses, and the first for battle courses since ''Mario Kart DS''. It is also the first console entry to primarily use courses that have already reappeared at least once, rather than courses that have not reappeared yet.
+While not confirmed to be playable as traditional race courses, several other courses can be seen or visited in the {{file link|MK World map.png|world map}} or during intermissions, including [[SNES Ghost Valley 1|Ghost Valley 1]], [[SNES Ghost Valley 2|Ghost Valley 2]], and [[Ghost Valley 3]] at the entrance to [[Boo Cinema]], [[Koopa Beach 1]] next to [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2#Mario Kart World|Koopa Troopa Beach]], and [[SNES Choco Island 2|Choco Island 2]] just south-west of [[N64 Choco Mountain|Choco Mountain]].<ref name=TreehouseDay2Pt2/> If these are counted, then Koopa Beach 1 and Ghost Valley 3 increase the number of courses making their classic course debut to five.
+Courses with differing names between British English and American English once again use their respective name depending on the game's region, unlike in ''Tour''.
 ===Grand Prix===
-The format of the Grand Prix has been changed significantly from previous games. Now, only the first race of a cup follows the traditional three-lap format. The last three races follow a sectioned format instead, with the first two sections of the race taking place across intermissions that transition from the previous course to the next, while the final section consists of one lap of that next course.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/> Three-lap races are not entirely absent from the game, though it is currently unclear how they are implemented.<ref>{{file link|MKW Whistlestop Summit splitscreen screenshot.jpg|Screenshot showing Whistlestop Summit on the second lap}}</ref> One mode allows players to configure intermissions in the rules.<ref name=KnockoutRules/>
+Unlike previous games since ''Mario Kart DS'', the game's cups are not separated between new and classic courses, with the game's known seven cups instead featuring a varying amount of both types of courses, similar to ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s DLC cups.<ref name=Direct/> Additionally, this is the second ''Mario Kart'' game after ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to have cups with multiple courses from the same game, as the [[Flower Cup|Flower]], [[Banana Cup|Banana]], and [[Lightning Cup|Lightning]] Cups have two tracks from ''Mario Kart DS'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and ''Mario Kart Wii'', respectively.
-The backgrounds of the cup icons are reflective of the region the cup's courses are located in. For example, the Star Cup's icon has an icy background, as its courses are near or within the snowy region.

-===Other courses===
-While not confirmed to be playable as traditional race courses, several other courses can be seen or visited in the {{file link|MK World map.png|world map}} or during intermissions, including [[SNES Ghost Valley 1|Ghost Valley 1]], [[SNES Ghost Valley 2|Ghost Valley 2]], and [[Ghost Valley 3]] west of [[Starview Peak]], and [[SNES Choco Island 2|Choco Island 2]] just south-west of [[N64 Choco Mountain|Choco Mountain]].<ref name=TreehouseDay2Pt2/> Certain sites and landmarks also resemble past courses, including one resembling [[SNES Vanilla Lake 1|Vanilla Lake 1]] south of [[Sky-High Sundae]], one resembling [[N64 Big Donut|Big Donut]] south of Bowser's Castle, and a quicksand pit that resembles [[Thwomp Desert]] in the desert south of [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]].<ref name=NintendoLife/>
 ===Knockout Tour===
-Knockout Tour consists of rallies rather than cups, with each of the eight rallies having 6 races within. Unlike races, there are no breaks in between, as players who qualify for the next race will simply continue it. Unlike the Grand Prix, Knockout Tour focuses primarily on the intermissions between the courses, with the first five races taking place on a continuous path of them, while only the final race consists of a lap around the final course.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dJg4PFrrQ</ref>

+===Battle courses===
-{{foreign names
+There are currently six known battle courses. Like the B variants of courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'', the battle courses in ''Mario Kart World'' take place in closed off areas of the main race courses or intermissions rather than taking place in unique locations. However, some are more intricately designed akin to older battle courses.

 ==Vehicles==
-[[Kart]]s, [[Bike]]s and [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]]s all return in ''Mario Kart World''. All racers use different vehicles in the trailer, with each vehicle having unique wheel and tire designs. Vehicles are no longer customizable, like they were up to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Instead of [[glider]]s, vehicles now feature wings that allow them to glide in a similar manner. When going over water, the wheels of all vehicles change into water skis, allowing them to float.<ref name=TreehouseDay1Pt1/>
+[[Kart]]s, [[bike]]s, and [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]]s all return in ''Mario Kart World'', the latter two following their absence in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. However, kart customization as seen in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' does not return, with the vehicles in this game instead sporting a unique wheel design, and some lacking wheels entirely in favor of {{wp|Continuous track|treads}} or {{wp|ski}}s. Like the aforementioned two games however, vehicles are unlocked by collecting a certain number of coins.<ref>[https://x.com/vnt__x/status/1912866851119317284]</ref> Stickers on vehicles also appear to be customizable.<ref name=MKWDirect/> Despite ATVs returning, the [[Standard ATV]] does not.
+There are currently 40 known vehicles in the game, including 23 karts, 11 bikes, and 6 ATVs. Vehicles returning from previous installments are marked with their corresponding game in parentheses.
