Mario Kart World was originally planned as a game for the current Switch, Nintendo has revealed.

The team was finding it a challenge to incorporate everything it wanted to do, including ramping up from 12 racers to 24 players. Programmer Kenta Sato said various sacrifices were considered, including “toning down the visuals, lowering the resolution, and we even considered dropping the frame rate to 30 FPS in some cases.” However, the move to Nintendo Switch 2 allowed for everything to be kept intact.

In a new interview issued today, Nintendo commented on why Mario Kart World isn’t called Mario Kart 9.

On the other hand, some fans also argued that Nintendo could skip to Mario Kart 10, given that we saw Mario Kart Tour in 2019. It turned out that the company went in a different direction, and that’s where we ended up with Mario Kart World.
