Mario Kart World’s Solo ‘Rewind’ Feature Unleashes New Gameplay Tactics

Players are exploiting the solo-only rewind mechanic to evade blue shells in races despite its speed penalty

Overview

  • Pressing down on the D-Pad in any solo mode reverses time by a few seconds to correct errors or avoid hazards
  • Rewind slashes most of the player’s speed and acceleration, making its use risky in 150cc races where every moment counts
  • Player clips demonstrate the feature can dodge blue shells, evade lightning strikes and even topple CPU opponents
  • The rewind tool is unavailable in online multiplayer, ensuring its tactical advantages remain confined to solo play
  • In Free Roam mode, drivers leverage rewind to retry P Switch challenges and secure Peach Medallions after falling off cliffs
