Platform(s) Nintendo Switch 2

A Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed alongside the system in a "first-look" trailer released on January 16, 2025. It was 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 illustrations 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.

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 would automatically wear racing suits on bikes such as Princess Peach are shown wearing their standard clothing.[1]

  • A desert-themed circuit themed after the Southwestern United States, with a sign at the starting line that says "Mario Bros. Circuit" and landmarks such as a "Fire Flower Gas Station" and a drive-through burger place named "Yoshi's".[1] There are buttes in the background shaped like mushrooms. Additional roads are present, but are blocked by arrow signs.
