Mario Kart World Announced For Nintendo Switch 2

Mario Kart World Announced For Nintendo Switch 2

With new shots of Donkey Kong's new look, the ability to drive off the race track, and 24 drivers across each race, Mario Kart World is going to be the wildest Mario Kart game yet with a map that covers the entire world!

Free Roam mode lets you drive around the vast new Mario Kart world and going off-road to find secret routes or test your favourite cars with friends. We've also seen a newly designed plane mechanic, doing away with the old gliders and allowing us to get some Diddy Kong Racing-style plane action.

One feature I love is the fact that the levels will change depending on real-world weather conditions too, and it looks like all characters have customisable outfits - Mario looks a little like a member of Motley Crue in the clip I've just been watching!
