Overview

• Mario Kart World marks the series’ first full open-world experience with a seamless landscape that removes loading screens between races and exploration.
• Online lobbies now hold 24 racers, doubling previous limits and creating denser fields of shells, banana peels and power-ups.
• Players can grind rails and slide walls to build turbo boosts and unlock new karts and characters by collecting in-world gold coins.
• The Free Roam mode centers on P-switch missions, Peach medallion challenges and spontaneous Nabbit hunts that reward stickers and fast-travel options.
• Quality-of-life updates include automatic item equipping, faster item-box respawns and a thematic cup structure replacing standalone circuits.
