Now Viewing: mario_kart_worldTag type: Copyright A kart racing game released on June 5, 2025 as a launch title for the Nintendo_Switch_2. It is the ninth main installment of the Mario_Kart spinoff series, releasing eleven years after Mario Kart 8's debut, and after spending eight years in development. It was directed by Sato Kenta, Ishikawa_Masaaki, and Jikumaru Shintaro. Sato was also a programmer for the game, Ishikawa the main artist, and Jikumaru the main designer. The game's jazz fusion heavy score was composed by Asahi Atsuko (who also headlined the previous installment's jazz fusion score), Miyoshi Maasa, Honda Takuhiro, and Takakuwa Yutaro. Much like Super Mario World was for the early 2d Mario platformers, this game, as its title indicates, is the biggest Mario Kart game to date with race courses designed with an exploratory open-world format in mind, which was done to innovate the series as producer Yabuki Kosuke felt that Mario Kart 8 had already perfected the classic MK formula. Along with the big race courses, the amount of racers that can participate in one race has drastically increased to twenty four and the game accordingly has a bigger roster of up to fifty playable characters. To encourage exploration, the game has a new free roam mode allowing players to drive around the race courses with no pressure to win a race. In addition, the game has a new Knockout Tour, a long marathon tournament where the players race in one giant race spanning multiple race courses with six major checkpoints and four elimination points that whittle down the players. The karts now have even more mobility, gaining the ability to rail grind and drive on the side of walls and allowing for more tricks and shortcuts. Karts also turn into hovercrafts when approaching water. The game has the biggest soundtrack out of the Mario kart games with over 200 songs. Alongside new pieces, the game's score is also a celebration of the Mario franchise in general with remixes of tunes from throughout the franchise's history. The score was written to be dynamic to reflect the onscreen developments of the players' races with smooth transitions between tracks.
