What to expect from the new Mario Kart World launch
If you’ve been wondering how Nintendo will top Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, then listen up. For the first time ever, up to 24 players can race at the same time, a huge departure from the original 12-player limit.
There’s sure to be more competition too, as the tracks are even bigger and better than ever before to fit into Free Roam mode, which allows players to race without time limits or lap counters.
