One Mario Kart World player has gotten to the bottom of how coins truly work in the game.
At first glance, coins may not seem that important. They can’t take out someone that’s in first place like the Blue Shell or provide an immediate speed boost such as with the Mushroom. Coins do provide a speed boost overall, but it now appears that we have a better understanding of how the whole system works.
