As with every previous instalment of the Mario Kart series, Grand Prix offers Mario Kart World players a selection of eight Cups, each made up of four tracks each for racers to compete for first place. The Cups and tracks available in Mario Kart World are as follows:

D rivers, ready your A buttons, because Mario Kart World’s countdown clock is finally about to tick down! Unfortunately, Nintendo opted not to send out the Switch 2 for any earl

Mario Kart World's open-world doesn't work as well as intended, but the new battle royale style Knockout Tour delivers a great new way to play.

Mario Kart World's credits don't feature Nintendo's most famous designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario himself. But as fans who complete the game spot Miyamoto's absence, others have pointed to his changed role of late as something of an explanation.

Remember warping through the paintings in Princess Peach's Castle, back in Super Mario 64? Well, you can use a similar method to access Mario Kart World's Mirror Mode in Free Roam, if you drive over and scale the same royal residence's roof.
