Mario Kart World is an upcoming game in the Mario Kart series set to be released alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch title worldwide 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, the first new Mario Kart title since Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit (released almost five years prior), and the first original, major console entry in the series since Mario Kart 8 (released eleven years prior). It is also the first Mario Kart game to be a launch title for its console and to feature Kevin Afghani's voicework.

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" is set to be broadcast on April 17, 2025 at 6:00 a.m. PST / 9:00 a.m. EST / 2:00 p.m. BST.^[1]

Gameplay

Bikes and ATVs return following their absence in Mario Kart Tour. However, kart customization as seen in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 does not return. Some karts in this game instead utilize unique wheel designs, with some lacking wheels entirely in favor of treads.

New features

Races now consist of 24 racers, doubling from the previous 12. 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; instead, karts can now extend wings, which function the same as gliders, and drive along the top of water rather than beneath it, with both new mechanics creating 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 short jump instead of initiating a drift.^[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.^[15]^[16]

Unlike previous installments, all of the courses in the game take place on a large, open world, connected via the newly introduced intermissions,^[17] 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]^[16]^[18]

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] Three-lap races are not entirely absent from the game, though it is currently unclear how they are implemented.^[19] One mode allows players to configure intermissions in the rules.^[17]

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 not met after the required amount of racers. Unlike races, there are no breaks in between, as players who qualify for the next race will simply continue 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]

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 costumes

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.

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 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. Of the returning courses, three of them (Wario Stadium, Sky-High Sundae, and Toad's Factory) make their debuts as classic courses. If Mario Kart: Super Circuit's Extra Tracks are not counted, the Koopa Beach 1 portion of Koopa Troopa Beach increases this number to four.

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, similar to Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's DLC cups.^[1] Also unlike previous games since Mario Kart 8, 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.

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 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 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, and Choco Island 2 just south-west of Choco Mountain.^[47] Certain sites and landmarks also resemble past courses, including one resembling Vanilla Lake 1 south of Sky-High Sundae, one resembling Big Donut south of Bowser's Castle, and a quicksand pit that resembles Thwomp Desert in the desert south of Airship Fortress.^[31]

Vehicles

Karts, Bikes and ATVs 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 gliders, 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.^[12]

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]

Bullet Bill	Transforms the player into a Bullet Bill, rocketing through the track with auto-pilot, and providing invincibility from all terrain and items.
Boo	Steals an item from a randomly selected racer in front of the player, while granting temporary invisibility, making the player invulnerable and able to pass through hazards.

Differences from previous Mario Kart games

Races now consist of 24 racers compared to the previous 12.
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]
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.^[15]
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 trick off of other racers if they land on top of them.^[12]

Explosions on the surface of water will create waves.^[87]

Items

The Lightning now only shocks players ahead of the user, rather than all opponents.^[39]
The Bullet Bill no longer causes players that it hits at certain angles to spin out.^[15]
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.^[39]
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]

+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.

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.

+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''; instead, karts can now extend wings, which function the same as gliders, and drive along the top of water rather than beneath it, with both new mechanics creating a comparable vehicle system to ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''.

+==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/> 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/>
+===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 not met after the required amount of racers. Unlike races, there are no breaks in between, as players who qualify for the next race will simply continue 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>

-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). Sixteen 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]]'' (both of which combine multiple iterations of the track into one), ''[[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 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. Of the returning courses, three of them ([[Wario Stadium]], [[Sky-High Sundae]], and [[Toad's Factory]]) make their debuts as classic courses. If ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''{{'}}s Extra Tracks are not counted, the [[Koopa Beach 1]] portion of [[Koopa Troopa Beach (Mario Kart World)|Koopa Troopa Beach]] increases this number to four.
-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.

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.
+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, however, 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/>
+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.

 ===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 consist of a lap around the final course.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dJg4PFrrQ</ref>
