A race can begin on one formal track and continue across the surrounding world before reaching another destination. That connected structure makes route knowledge matter outside traditional lap circuits and gives weather, time of day, and the wider landscape a role in how an event looks and unfolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v3-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKnockout Tour turns racing into a moving elimination run\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnockout Tour sends the field across a long route with checkpoints instead of repeating laps on one circuit. Racers below the cutoff are eliminated as the event progresses, so a single mistake can matter more with every stage. Wall riding, rail grinding, jumps, items, and broad terrain give players several ways to hold position or recover. The mode is designed around continuous forward movement through the connected world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v3-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFree Roam makes the map worth exploring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree Roam removes the pressure of the starting grid and lets players drive through the world in search of challenges, routes, and discoveries. It also provides space to practice new movement before returning to competitive events. Mario Kart World is exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 and supports TV, tabletop, and handheld play. This physical US edition is specifically for Switch 2 hardware, an essential distinction from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the original Switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v3-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGame facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo Switch 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhysical US edition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGenres\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eParty, Racing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlay modes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTV mode, Tabletop mode, Handheld mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlayer support\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 to 4 on one system; 2 to 8 local wireless; 2 to 24 online\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025-06-05\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v3-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about Mario Kart World\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich system is Mario Kart World made for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eMario Kart World is the physical US edition for Nintendo Switch 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the main gameplay hook in Mario Kart World?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrive between courses through an interconnected world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich second mechanic shapes Mario Kart World?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurvive checkpoint eliminations in Knockout Tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat additional activity or feature stands out?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave the starting grid behind and explore in Free Roam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Nintendo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52396142297384,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/9263\/2616\/files\/rgm-catalog-mario-kart-world-nintendo-switch-2-n08-01-primary-white.jpg?v=1789621743","url":"https:\/\/www.rgmretrogames.com\/products\/mario-kart-world-nintendo-switch-2-n08","provider":"RGM Retro Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
