Better yet, Mario Kart is a title that will only expand over the years. New tracks will arrive in DLC form, and new racers will grace the screen sooner than later. Here's hoping down the line they'll be gathered into an ultimate game cartridge as well, so that Nintendo can continue with its excellent output of first party titles on physical media.

Mario Kart World is an amazing-looking and sounding title on the Switch 2. I love all the new tracks and characters, though the way you unlock them feels unfair.

This may be the best Switch game ever! The new knockout tour is the perfect addition to the popular franchise and it makes the game feel more wholesome. The designs are in that Nintendo-style we all love. And 24 racers at the same time makes the game feel chaotic, but in a good way. This is definitely a must-have.

Mario Kart World boldly reinvents the genre with open-world racing, fresh mechanics, and incredible charm..

Mario Kart World may not be the cleanest ride in the series, but between its fun modes, expansive open world, and sheer replayability, there’s a lot to love under the hood. The bloat and some odd choices occasionally throw a banana peel in front of the fun, but they rarely send the whole kart spinning. With enough friends and willingness to explore its quirks, it’s an addictive racer that keeps pulling you back in.

Mario Kart World introduces vertical races between circuits as a new feature, but some feel too similar, and the open world is somewhat dull. Even so, the game remains excellent—especially in multiplayer—and is the best way to showcase what the Nintendo Switch 2 is capable of at launch.

This sequel has big boots (or wheels) to fill but World is glossier and the animations are more nuanced. Knockout Tour is the best new addition to a Mario Kart game since the first edition in 1992.

Mario Kart World stands in stark contrast to the original Switch’s franchise re-evaluation, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Where Link’s first foray into true open world design made for a generation-defining experience, Mario Kart World’s shift is uneven and chaotic, often producing frustrations alongside innovation and fun. A massive leap in fidelity and a lengthy development cycle have shaped a gorgeously realised world and roster of racers to barrel down impressive tracks with a small bag of new tricks. But the time spent between these breathless bouts is unrefined and clumsy, a world built for a console’s lifetime worth of updates that, for now, offers you little more than a freshly paved highway to nowhere. Mind the toll.

Mario Kart World avança a franquia para um novo rumo trazendo dezenas de rotas e copas para se explorar com um gameplay cada vez mais refinado. Trazendo uma das melhores trilhas sonoras da historia da Nintendo, Mario Kart World chega para dar um ponta pé inicial ao Nintendo Switch 2.

Es divertido completar las copas y modos además del multi en pantalla partida pero online es una locura con 24 jugadores y no es divertido. Para mí un paso atrás respecto al Mario kart 8 deluxe aunque el modo supervivencia y el mundo abierto es una buena idea que espero que en futuras ediciones mejore.

The open world and the gimmick of driving to the next track was neat, but otherwise the gameplay feels pretty much average, just another Mario Kart. And also the 80 bucks price definitely didn't help. I got this game with the Switch 2 bundle, but definitely it shouldn't cost that price. At least I don't feel there is anything in the game of value that justifies that price.

Mario kart world is worst then Mario kart 8 due to multiple restrictsens in the game
the built bull is wort the be for, the lightning is useless if your in first place, they are not done making the game, and Nintendo cut out fan favorite battles.
the game is a disappointing 80$ if it a free dlc am going to rated 6/10
