How do you beat an experience that feels as complete asMario Kart 8 Deluxe?
By doing something completely different, likeMario Kart World.
It’s certainly a gamble.
With a roster that comprehensive, simply adding more seems out of the question.
Instead, Mario Kart World essentially removes the concept of bespoke tracks altogether.
Some even take inspiration from familiar tracks in the past.
But whatever its origins, it is absolutely brilliant.
And if it is battle royale inspired?
Well, there’s no hiding in a bush here.
The tension of making it through to the final four is something else.
Does the game suffer from a lack of course individuality as a result?
(That said, where is Rainbow Road?
Surely it won’t have been cut completely?)
Sure, why not.
And many of these have further cosmetic options.
Items such as green shells and bananas are now automatically held behind you, meanwhile.
I absolutely can’t wait to play more of what is undoubtedly Switch 2’s killer app.
