'''''Mario Kart World''''' is a racing game for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]]. It features new characters, new items, and new game modes. The game was formally announced as part of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal on April 2, 2025, and it was released with the console worldwide on June 5, 2025. It is an entry of the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series. | |||

== Grand Prix == | |||
The Grand Prix returns as the main game mode as in previous titles, where the player competes on four courses in a cup race to score the most points. Higher positions award more points. However, the Grand Prix format has changed significantly from previous games. Now, only the first race of a cup race follows the traditional three-lap format. The final three races follow a sectional format, with the first two sections (or more in some cases) taking place between intermissions that transition from the previous course to the next, while the final section consists of a lap of the next course. | The Grand Prix returns as the main game mode as in previous titles, where the player competes on four courses in a cup race to score the most points.

Time | Time Trials mode returns with the same role as before. Players race around a selected track to complete it as quickly as possible. As in previous games, they can compete against ghost times set by other players online. | ||
== VS | === VS Race === | ||
VS | VS Race allows up to four players to play together locally and eight players wirelessly. Players can choose to compete in regular three-lap races on a single track or choose a track to start and then choose another track connected to the starting track to navigate. Team racing returns from previous versions, but it's now possible to have up to four teams instead of just two. Also returning are class, item, CPU difficulty, and race count settings, including the odd-numbered race count from Mario Kart Wii. | ||

{{main|Knockout Tour}} | |||
Knockout Tour is an all-out battle mode where players compete on consecutive tracks across the open world and are eliminated on a specific lap if they finish in the bottom four. Unlike races, there are no breaks between races, as players who qualify for the next race simply continue on. | |||
Knockout Tour consists of rallies rather than cups, and each of the eight rallies consists of six races. Unlike Grand Prix, Survival focuses primarily on the breaks between tracks. The first five races take place on a continuous course, with each checkpoint eliminating players in the bottom four. For the final race, the last four players standing will complete a lap around the final track. This mode allows players to configure the breaks in the rules. | |||

As shown on the screen when viewing the world map in this mode, [[P Switch]]es, [[? Panel]]s, and [[Peach Medallion]]s appear as discoverable objects. P Switches activate missions, reminiscent of the [[Mission Mode]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. CPU players can also be encountered in Free Roam. | ||
