Mario Kart World (Nintendo Switch 2)
Nintendo's new kart racer for Switch 2 promises to shake up the formula, but early details are sparse, worth watching closer to launch.
GamerScout Verdict
A day-one buy for Switch 2 owners who live in Mario Kart; wait for reviews if you want proof it's more than a roster refresh.
Compare Prices(3 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Mario Kart World (Nintendo Switch 2)
I'm cautious about Nintendo's "groundbreaking" language here because Mario Kart has a reputation for iterating rather than reinventing. That said, building Mario Kart World from scratch for Switch 2 hardware suggests they're taking the opportunity to expand track rosters, add new mechanics, or rework the netcode that's been a pain point in past entries. The "expansive experience" tagline hints at either a beefier single-player campaign or serious content depth, neither of which Mario Kart is usually known for. The real question is whether this plays it safe (new tracks, fresh characters, same rock-paper-scissors item balance) or actually risks something different. If you're a couch co-op fan or competitive online player, this will almost certainly be worth your time once it lands. If you're hoping for a genre overhaul, manage expectations until we see actual gameplay.
