Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.


Welcome to the Mario Kart World NeoGAF OT. Get ready for the high-octane world of Mario (and his growing cast of friends) driving, biking, sliding, grinding, flying, and more in this brand-new entry that's exclusive to the newly launched Nintendo Switch 2. This entry includes new racers, new gameplay modes, and online play for up to 24 players at once! Let's dive in.

There are 50 confirmed characters that are included in the game! You will be able to unlock these characters and their outfits as you win races and explore free roam mode. Can you unlock them all?



In this traditional racing mode, complete a series of courses to be crowned the winner. Each player gets points based on their placing in the race, and the points are tallied at the end to decide the grand prix winner! Compete in the Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, or Star Cup, along with some additional grand prix surprise cups.

In Knockout Tour mode, you race across the open world through five pre-determined checkpoints. But watch out, because the racers that fall behind at each checkpoint will be eliminated from the race. It's a new battle-royale style Mario Kart mode! Can you make it to the final checkpoint and take the title?

Drive where your heart takes you. The open world map contains lots of hidden secrets - new racers to unlock, new outfits to find, NPCs to yak at, photo mode opportunities, and much, much more. Hit the road.

Want to go head-to-head? Check out the game's various Vs. modes. Time Trials, where you race to get the best time on a course. VS Race, where up to four players can race split-screen. Balloon Battle, where your goal is to pop the opponent's balloons with items. And finally, coin runners, where your goal is to gather the most coins and bring them across the finish line.
