Mario Kart World unlockable outfits guide and full list
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the big new features in Mario Kart World is the ability to unlock outfits for different characters. Most of the drivers in this game have plenty of costumes choose from – with the exception of Donkey Kong and Pauline, who only have one outfit each. Furthermore, some drivers, like Wiggler, Nabbit, and all of the minion characters, are designated as NPC drivers. This means that they don’t have any costumes to choose from at all.
