The latest Mario racing game includes off-roading.
Mario Kart World is arriving exclusively alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 when it hits store shelves on June 5. The day-and-date release of the latest iteration in the series was confirmed in the company’s Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, along with a totally new feature: off-road driving.
That’s right, Mario Kart World will allow you to « drive virtually everywhere. » That means you can grind down railings, jump off walls and even drive off the race track. You can also enter a mode called Free Roam which let’s you simply drive around and enjoy the scenery with friends. Cue me as my forever choice Yoshi excitedly driving across the globe.
Unsurprisingly, with a name like Mario Kart World, the courses will take place in regions around a contiguous game world.
