Q: What will be the modes

submitted by Happy Guy - 7 days ago
  • A: Hi Happy Guy, thanks for reaching out about Mario Kart World - Nintendo Switch 2 Here's what has been confirmed for this upcoming Mario Kart: Core Racing Modes: Grand Prix: This classic mode returns, but with a twist. Instead of just racing four individual tracks in a cup, in Mario Kart World, you'll drive to the beginning of the next track after completing a race, making it feel like one continuous, epic endurance race across the interconnected world. You'll still earn points based on your finishing position across four races. Knockout Tour: A new elimination-style race mode where you must pass through checkpoints and be above a certain position to stay in the competition. If you fall below the required position, you're eliminated. This sounds like a chaotic and intense new way to race! Time Trials: The staple mode for honing your skills and setting the fastest times on a track, competing against developers' ghosts and other players online. You'll be given three mushrooms to use strategically for boosts. VS Race: This mode allows for a customizable, traditional Mario Kart experience. You can choose the tracks, set rules, CC class (50cc, 100cc, 150cc, etc.), split up to 24 drivers into teams, select or restrict specific items, and designate COM driver difficulty. Battle Mode: Balloon Battle: The classic Battle Mode where players aim to pop opponents' balloons by dealing damage with items. The last player with balloons remaining wins. Coin Runners: Collect as many coins as possible while trying to prevent your opponents from doing the same. New and Exciting Modes/Features: Free Roam: This is a major new addition. Players can drive around the open world of Mario Kart World, explore the map, complete different challenges, find secrets, and unlock outfits by picking up "Dash Food." This can be enjoyed solo or with friends. Multiplayer: All the main racing and battle modes (Grand Prix, Knockout Tour, Vs Race, Battle Mode, and Free Roam) can be enjoyed with friends and other players online, in local multiplayer, or via split-screen (up to 4 players on the same system). The game supports up to 24 human and CPU racers in Vs Race mode, and up to 8 players can play together via local wireless multiplayer. Connected World: A key feature of Mario Kart World is its sprawling, interconnected world where everything is your race course – from grassy plains and bustling cities to wide-open waters and volcanos. You can even "hop off the course and race the distance to the next one!" If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Will it be compatible with original Switch?

submitted by Sant - 23 days ago
  • A: Hi Sant, thanks for reaching out about Mario Kart World - Nintendo Switch 2. Looking at past console releases, major, system-selling titles designed for a new generation are rarely fully compatible with the previous generation. While some cross-generational releases might occur early in a console's lifecycle, a title specifically named for the new hardware usually signifies a focus on its capabilities. Therefore, while it's not impossible, the strong indication in the title points towards "Mario Kart World - Nintendo Switch 2" being a title exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 and not compatible with the original Nintendo Switch. To be absolutely certain, you would need to wait for official announcements from Nintendo regarding the game's compatibility. However, based on typical industry practices and the naming convention, the answer is likely no. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Ordered this game May 30th, because Kratos Forbid that Target allows you to pre order ANYTHING to in store pickup on release day vs mailing it, you have to just wait until release day and walk in hoping they have it or hope its on the app for pickup. My shipping choices were Free and would arrive June 10th, and Express ($10 more) for it to arrive today on release day. I paid $10. today June 5th its showing "preparing", and just shipped, at 1:00 PM for delivery on June 9th...what did I pay extra for??
