A Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed alongside the system in a "first-look" trailer released on January 16, 2025, and is 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 in-game Super Mario Bros. Wonder, along with making the characters more expressive. The number of racers per race was increased to 24 compared to the previous 12.[1]
It is the first completely new console Mario Kart title since Mario Kart 8 released in 2014.
