Get ready for an exhilarating new adventure with *Mario Kart World*, an exclusive title launching alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This isn't your typical Mario Kart game; it's an open-world racing experience where you can freely explore the vast landscapes of the Mushroom Kingdom. From iconic characters to a diverse range of vehicles and regions, *Mario Kart World* promises an immersive journey that fans won't want to miss. Preorders are now available at various retailers, including Walmart.

Switch 2 Super Mario Kart World Bundle
Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

By choosing the Switch 2 bundle that includes Super Mario Kart World, you can save $30 compared to buying the console and game separately. Keep in mind, the console bundle comes with a digital copy, so you won't receive a physical cart or game box. If having a tangible game is a priority for you, consider spending the extra $30 on the standalone version.
Yes, the MSRP Is $79.99
When purchased individually, Mario Kart World comes with a price tag of $79.99, which is $10 more than the standard price for AAA PlayStation and Xbox games of this generation. While it's tough to see prices rise, the increased cost of game development is a reality. I'm optimistic that the scale and ambition of Mario Kart World justify this extra expense.
What Is Mario Kart World?
Mario Kart World is poised to be the most expansive Mario Kart game to date, featuring an open-world environment reminiscent of the Forza Horizon series. In Grand Prix mode, you can seamlessly transition from one race to the next, driving across the Mushroom Kingdom.
The game's tracks are dynamically influenced by weather and time of day, impacting visibility and traction. Players have the freedom to veer off the beaten path and explore "virtually everywhere," as stated by Nintendo. Each race features an unprecedented 24 drivers.
A new mode, Knockout Tour, challenges you to race across the open world, hitting checkpoints with required placements. Fall behind, and you're out of the race. For a more relaxed experience, Free Roam mode lets you and your friends explore at your own pace, capturing moments along the way.
More details about Mario Kart World will be revealed during the Nintendo Direct on April 17. In the meantime, dive into our hands-on preview for additional insights.
