How do you follow the most successful racing game of all time? Between the Wii U and switch versions of the game, Mario Kart 8 sold more than 75 million copies, gave a consistent chart-topping performance for more than a decade. Nintendo is definitely expecting his long -awaited follow -up, Mario Cart World, Nintendo Switch 2 will get for a quick start, but there are some large tires to fill the game.
Does Mario Cart World have the opportunity to match Mario Cart 8Bmoth? I recently got a chance to go on my hands with Mario Cart World at a switch 2 preview event (here are my general views on new hardware) and you can shed down for my initial impression …
During the Switch 2 Preview Program, journalists initially got a chance to go on the hands with the traditional Grand Prix race of Mario Cart World, then could later come back to try a new knockout mode, in which a field of players runs through six interconnected courses in the hope of standing in the last one. Of course, my reaction was somewhat silent after playing through a handful of Grand Prix Cup. This was partly due to the fact that Nintendo set these introductory Grand Prix Race on 50cc, so they felt quite poke, but this action was also very familiar.

The anti-gravity gimmick of Mario Cart 8, which could stick to the carts surfaces and the course design was often the mind-boggling lumps, seems to have been removed to a large extent, but many courses still have elevated classes that provide uniform experience. Even without the anti-gravity mechanic, Mario Cart feels similar to the MK8 in the case of world control, track design and the way you interact with other racers. Of course, it’s not Bad Talk, Mario Cart 8 is a great game, but the spirit of “newness” I was expecting from MK World that it was not necessary during my initial minutes with the game.
Di, Mario Cart World provides some main gameplay difference. The area of racers has doubled in size, which does not change the spirit of action He A lot of, although there may be times when things become frantic at the first seen level. And yes, this means that you are going to the end of more items than ever, which may not be very good news depending on your personal Mario Cart taste (I think the items are half -fun). On the subject, there are some new items, some appear to be useful such as new gold shells such as a mark of coins, as well as some some of the strange additions, such as foods that work mainly to change your character wearing dress (a lot of donkey kong, dress-up seems to be a big focus of MK World).
Players can now grind on the jump of rail and wall, although I did not face a ton opportunity to use those skills during my hands (believed that, my eyes were probably not yet trained to look for those opportunities). One of the most standing things to me was that the carts no longer immerse the deeper while facing water, but instead the bobs with the surface are on the effects of some decent water and the performance of physics. It seems that Nintendo could have added a touch of Wave Race to the Mario Cart World, in the same way he mixed with a spraying of F-Groer seasoning in Mario Cart 8.
Another thing that has changed is Grand Prix Cup progress. Instead of a normal four race of every three laps, you now start with a standard three-lapp race, then drive in the three later race, passing through the “internal” transitional courses before taking on a lap of the next main course. All this is a little confusing first, but you will soon catch, and the new approach can result in a broad array of gran prix layout. While Nintendo has not yet mentioned anything like this, I can imagine a mode where players are given the option to exclude their own Grand Prix Cup.
The Mario Cart Worlds Course Design is a mixture of old and new, with new compositions such as classics such as Sanes Copa Troopa Beach and Choco Mountain of N64, Dusty Desert Mario Brothers Circuit, Animal -filled forway Oasis, and classic Donak Kong Gurders and Rocket Launch Site with new compositions. Many old tracks have been replaced in quite important ways to fit the new interconnected world of the game, but it is a bit like a two -edged sword. There is a certain stability between the many courses applied by the connected world, and when I did not face any bad tracks, some mix a little in each other.
The Mario Cart World looks quite well visually, with the characters have a new level of pop and personality, although it will be a stretch to say that the game looks He Mario Cart 8 (to be fair, this game is still much better than a decade looks great). Even with doubling doubling on the screen, the game maintained a silk smooth 60fps and, of course, even the entire game would have 120fps mode, which I would like to try.
At this point in my raids, perhaps you have an understanding that, while I had fun with the Mario Cart World, I did not completely blow from the experience. In fact, it was more or less the case when I ended playing Grand Prix. Thankfully, after returning to play several rounds of knockout mode, I think I started seeing more clearly what Nintendo Mario is trying to do with Cart World and my feelings about the game have improved significantly.
The knockout mode is essentially Mario Cart Battle Royal, in which the players have racing through six originally associated courses, in which the four racers below are finished every time you pass a finish line. The goal is to be one in the last four and eventually win that final race. The knockout demo was thankful to the 100cc, and struggling with 24 other human players, your position was always important in the race, rarely given a level of intensity in the previous Mario Cart Games. The smooth transition from a single-lap race to the next also took the world’s interaction at the forefront.
Speaking about, while waiting for other players to connect to the knockout mode, I got to try free Rome, giving me more praise for what I have achieved by Nintendo with the map of Mario Cart World. When you start whatever courses you start, its nooks and cranes can be fully detected, if you continue driving, you will infection from a course and biome to the next. During a free Rome session I started in the icy tundra, infected in a forest area, and eventually caused a wound in the volcanic domain of the bousar. Was there not really much to do While driving around, but hopefully Nintendo reveals more free Rome activities. Regardless, it is really impressive how everything belongs to together.
Knocout mode and free Rome are those experiences that you can not only do in Mario Cart 8. Are they giving enough inspiration to justify the $ 80 price tag of Mario Cart World? It remains to be seen, but I am excited to see what other things can do with their new asphalt amusement parks anymore and in future.
Current idea on Mario Cart World
The Mario Cart World feels a lot like a bright new Mario Cart 8 model, which will be great for those who have offered that game, but the game is not denied to become familiar several times. The interconnected map of the Mario Cart World is a compelling creation, and when I need to play more, I can imagine a lot of possible ways that can use nintendo, and possibly expand their new racing world. Nintendo may be about supporting the racing platform for the next decade and I have been motivated to see where this road can take us.
Mario Cart World launched on 5 June with Nintendo Switch 2. Look for more WCCFTECH coverage of the game close to the launch.
