Mario Kart World

Mario Kart World delivers frenzied Mario Kart racing like never before, as well as a series-first: a vast interconnected environment to explore and race across. Players looking to hit the road with Mario and friends can experience: 
  • Up to 24 drivers at once – the most in Mario Kart history – race across courses.
  • Reimagined returning modes like Grand Prix competition, where the paths between courses are part of the race, too.
  • Knockout Tour, a new game mode where checkpoints eliminate drivers if they can’t keep up with the pack.
  • Free Roam mode, another new game mode, where players can explore, see the sights and more, solo or with friends online. There are hundreds of single-player missions to complete in Free Roam, too.
  • Plus, look forward to hectic faceoffs in the Battle mode!
  • Multiple ways to play together with friends, locally7 or online8. This includes local split-screen for up to 4 players on the same system, local wireless play, and competing or exploring with people from around the world (or friends) in online play.
  • Using the new GameChat feature on Nintendo Switch 2, players can talk with friends around the world while playing online. Plus, see their live expressions in-game with the new CameraPlay feature by connecting a compatible USB-C camera to the system (sold separately).
