Mario Kart World: Difference between revisions
(The gap between the original releases of MK64 and MKSC was 1680 days, which means that assuming if this game came out before May 23, 2025 (which is currently being rumored as the Switch 2 release date), the time between MKLHC and MKNS2 would be shorter than MK64 and MKSC; if it came out as a Switch 2 launch title (assuming May 23, 2025 is the Switch 2 launch date), it would be the same; it is likely it will come out afterwards, but we shouldn't put in things unless we can confirm it.) |

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. It is the sixteenth entry in the Mario Kart series, and the eleventh entry to be released on a Nintendo system. It is also the first game in the series since Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, released in 2020.
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. Bikes and All-Terrain Vehicles return following their absence in Mario Kart Tour. Some karts in this game utilize unique wheel designs, with some ditching wheels entirely in favor of treads; it is unknown if all karts will be able to equip unique wheels.
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]
