Posted on 6 days ago by Cris-(chito) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has just announced a special campaign for Mario Kart Tour in celebration of the launch of Mario Kart World. The campaign will be held between July 23 to August 6 2025, bringing with it some new content.
The big N had announced in 2023 that Mario Kart Tour would stop receiving new content after 4 years of support. This coincided with the closing out of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass. This new campaign will bring Mario and Luigi in their mechanic uniforms, as well as add 4 differently colored variations of the Tiny Titan kart from World.

Mario Kart World introduced plenty of new items to the series, and now it’s got more unique items than any other game in the franchise. Not all of them are winners, though, and after almost 100 hours playing the game we’ve decided to rank every single one in a tier list. We’ve also added explanations on why each item is in its respective tier.

Here’s how Nintendo could handle Mario Kart World updates
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re discussing Mario Kart World and how Nintendo could add new content to the game, plus the kind of characters and courses we could wind up seeing.
To start, we need to make something clear right away: Mario Kart World is a fantastic game as-is. Is it worth $80 when purchased outside the bundle? That’s up for you to decide, but ultimately Nintendo could further bolster the game with free updates. Think of it this way: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cost $60 on launch even though it was a port and not an all-new title, and then it received a $25 DLC pack on top of that – which adds up to an $85 price tag (although you can technically borrow the DLC for free with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack plan). This is a big assumption, but Nintendo could potentially earn back some good will by releasing free updates. It’s also entirely possible that Nintendo decides to charge for DLC packs – it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they did, but we feel like Mario Kart World has already received some substantial backlash for its $80 price tag. Adding DLC on top of that wouldn’t make the situation much better.

How to win in online play in Mario Kart World
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
To an extent, online play at a high level has always been difficult in the Mario Kart series. That said, Mario Kart World has upped the difficulty in pretty much every category. Items are more chaotic, the game’s skill ceiling is much higher, and items are much more chaotic (again). These factors make racking up wins online much more difficult, with Knockout Tour in particular being specifically brutal in big groups. Given all the factors out of your control, it’s probably impossible to guarantee wins online – but today, we’re going over some tips and tricks that might help you improve your placement in big races.

The best character and kart combos in Mario Kart World
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over some of the best character and kart combos in Mario Kart World.
If you’ve played online in Mario Kart World so far, then you may have noticed certain characters and especially karts are more popular than others. Indeed, only a few weeks after the game’s launch, players have already determined the best character and kart combos to use. That being said, there isn’t one specific combo that’s best for every mode. Depending on the exact mode you’re playing, be it online or Time Trials or Grand Prix, the optimal character and kart changes. Of course, you don’t have to use an “optimal” build by any means – for the most part, you can get away with playing your favorite character as long as the stats you wind up with are fairly balanced.
