Mario Kart World: Preorders Open for Switch 2
Revolutionary Racing Arrives June 5
Nintendo's groundbreaking open-world racer, Mario Kart World, will debut alongside the Switch 2 console this June. This ambitious title transforms the beloved franchise into a seamless Mushroom Kingdom playground packed with characters, customization options and sprawling environments to discover. Preorders are currently available at multiple retailers (check Walmart for availability).
Where to Preorder
Mario Kart World
Available June 5
$79.99 at Target
$79.00 at Walmart
$79.99 at Best Buy
$79.99 at GameStop
Breaking from modern gaming trends, Mario Kart World launches in a single edition priced at $79.99 standalone, or as part of a $499.99 Switch 2 bundle package.
Console Bundle Deal
Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle
$499.99 at Best Buy
The console bundle offers $30 savings compared to separate purchases. Note this version includes a digital download rather than physical media - worth considering for collectors who prefer boxed copies despite the higher total cost.
Premium Pricing Considerations
At $79.99, Mario Kart World carries a $10 premium over standard AAA pricing this generation. While price hikes never thrill consumers, rising development costs justify the increased investment for what appears to be Nintendo's most ambitious Mario Kart project to date.
Gameplay Innovation
Mario Kart World represents a quantum leap for the franchise, introducing an expansive open world inspired by titles like Forza Horizon. The revolutionary Grand Prix mode creates continuous racing experiences where players transition seamlessly between tracks.
Dynamic environmental systems affect handling and visibility as weather patterns and day/night cycles reshape each course. The game pushes boundaries with 24-player races and unprecedented freedom to explore beyond traditional track boundaries.
Fresh Game Modes
Knockout Tour delivers intense point-to-point racing with elimination checkpoints, while Free Roam offers relaxing exploration with friends. Nintendo promises more details during their April 17 Direct presentation, building anticipation for this franchise-defining entry.
