Mario Kart World is a racing and adventure game developed by Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 9, released in 2025 for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game takes place across a large, interconnected open environment where courses flow seamlessly into one another rather than existing as isolated tracks. A new Knockout Tour mode structures competition as a series of back-to-back courses with checkpoint eliminations, progressively cutting racers from the field. Alongside traditional racing, a free roam mode allows players to leave the designated track entirely, drive in any direction, explore the broader world at their own pace, and photograph scenic locations. This exploratory mode supports group play, letting multiple players roam and discover areas of interest together. The combination of structured elimination racing and open-world traversal marks a notable expansion of the franchise's scope.
