    Mario Kart is a gem!

    Mario Kart World is so much fun. Nintendo really took Mario Kart and made it feel bigger without losing what makes the series great. The new open-world aspect is probably my favorite part. Just driving around, finding new areas, and messing around between races is surprisingly fun. And of course, the actual races are still pure chaos—in the best possible way. You can be winning one second and then get absolutely destroyed by an item out of nowhere. It also looks really good on the Switch 2. Everything feels smooth, colorful, and fast, and the bigger tracks make the races feel more exciting. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about some of the new changes at first, but after playing it, I'm really enjoying it. It's one of those games that's easy to pick up but keeps you coming back for “just one more race.” Definitely wrth checking out if you have a Switch 2. 9 out of 10

    Revolutionary

    If you’re looking to pass a good time with family and friends Mario Kart is always a good choice, frenetic, challenging (if you play online), etc. I would called it the Ultimate Mario Kart Game with some minor flaws like the tracks being extensive straight ways, roasters could have characters more relevant to the franchise and the lack of things to do if you are not into battle mode or competitive but overall that’s everything that a Mario Kart game could offered, plus the new mechanics, visually beautiful and memorable soundtracks I would give it at 8/10

    Super fun kart racer!

    I've been playing Mario Kart my whole life, starting with Mario Kart Wii, then Mario Kart DS, then Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS, then Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch 1. I loved all these games. Then the Switch 2 direct premiered and showed off Mario Kart World, and I loved it, new mechanics, open world, beautiful artstyle, I loved it all, then the game came out, and as of now I have around 100 hours on the game The new parkour mechanics really elevate this game to help you find new shortcuts in tracks, and I find the open world very relaxing. This game also has a fantastic soundtrack that I never get tired of, classic remixes from older Mario Kart's and lots of remixes from past Mario games. Overall, yeah I like this game a lot.

    Mario Kart World

    The game was really exciting at launch and don't get me wrong the game looks beautiful and it can be fun, but it feels lacking in content in some areas like the open world, and it should get free updates/DLC later on.

    Bigger, Bolder, and Absolutely Brilliant

    Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2 is the franchise at its peak—faster, flashier, and more expansive than ever before. It brings stunning visuals, smooth 60 FPS gameplay, and a globe-trotting selection of jaw-dropping tracks, making it the best-looking and most ambitious entry to date. One of the standout features is the massive character roster. While many are alternate versions or "skins" of favorites like Mario, Peach, and Bowser, the sheer variety adds flavor—especially since all variations are unlockable through gameplay, with no microtransactions in sight. Just play, earn, and enjoy. The track design is next-level. Some courses are absolutely massive, with one sky-high masterpiece in particular that’s nothing short of breathtaking. It's the kind of track that leaves you stunned mid-race—unbelievably grand, both in scale and design. The new World Tour mode, dynamic weather, and smooth 16-player online races round out the package beautifully. If you love Mario Kart, this is a no-brainer.
