Mario Kart World is an upcoming launch title game in the Mario Kart series set to release alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. It was revealed on January 16, 2025 alongside the system in a "first-look" trailer. It is the first game announced for the Switch 2, and is the first new Mario Kart title since Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, which was released in 2020. It is the sixteenth entry in the Mario Kart series and the twelfth to be released by Nintendo.

Races now consist of 24 racers, doubling from 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 kart customization from Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 returns.

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 who would automatically wear racing suits on bikes such as Princess Peach are shown wearing their standard clothing, and clothing worn by characters is substantially more detailed than in previous games.
