Mario Kart World

New Features: Open World and Off-Road Mode

Mario Kart World is not just an upgraded version of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This title introduces open world elements, allowing players to explore race tracks freely without restrictions. Additionally, the game features off-roading, boat racing, and extreme mechanics like rail grinding and wall jumping—making the racing experience more dynamic and varied than ever.

Over 40 Playable Characters and 24-Player Races

The game features more than 40 playable characters, each with various alternative costumes. Not only that, Mario Kart World supports up to 24 players in a single race, the highest in the history of the franchise. This massive multiplayer feature promises a more thrilling and competitive experience.

Stunning Visuals Inspired by Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Visually, Mario Kart World draws inspiration from Super Mario Bros. Wonder and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, offering a vibrant and richly detailed art style. These visuals are one of the standout attractions of the next-generation Nintendo console.

Price Controversy: More Expensive Than Standard Switch Games

One of the most debated topics is the price of Mario Kart World, which is set at US$79.99 (approximately Rp1,359,830 at an exchange rate of Rp17,000 per USD). This is higher than the standard price for games on the original Nintendo Switch. Despite the backlash, Nintendo claims the pricing reflects the game's expanded scale and new features.

Nintendo officially announced the game during a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, unveiling its first trailer that immediately grabbed attention. A follow-up presentation titled Mario Kart World Direct is scheduled for April 17, 2025, where more gameplay details, characters, and features will be revealed.
