Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Mario Kart World has a ton of playable characters, but they’re all strictly from the Mario universe and not from any other Nintendo franchises.

But according to producer Kosuke Yabuki, that was never in the cards to begin with.
