Mario Kart World has hit the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing stunning visuals to the racing game series. The upgraded hardware allows for expansive racing levels, making the “world” feel more detailed and lived-in than ever before. In “Free Roam,” players can explore every bit of it while taking on challenges.
A new aspect of Mario Kart World is its roster of drivers, featuring both classic characters like Bowser Jr. and new additions such as Cow and Penguin. Some fans find the diverse cast amusing, but others believe it missed an opportunity to include other beloved Nintendo characters.
Producer Kosuke Yabuki explained that adding external characters was deemed unnecessary given the series’ capabilities. However, he notes that there’s something for everyone in the game. The large number of characters and costumes ensures that players will find at least one character to enjoy.
A reviewer noted a slightly lacking roster in their initial review, but hopes future DLC may address this issue. Despite this, Mario Kart World has won over many fans with its beautiful graphics and exciting gameplay, making it an excellent addition to the racing game series.
