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. 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, or if kart customization will be a feature.

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]

The Yoshi's restaurant in the "Mario Bros. Circuit" course
  • 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", which is shaped like a Yoshi head, with the nose also resembling a burger bun. Part of the course involves driving along a four lane highway; the highway features moving two-directional traffic with vehicles on the right side of the road, a behavior exhibited by no other track. Multiple kinds of additional routes are present, but they are blocked by arrow signs. There are also buttes in the background shaped like mushrooms.[1]

Vehicles

All racers use different vehicles in the trailer, with each vehicle having unique wheel and tire designs.
