Just did my first online race on Mario Kart World and came 1st haha! Baby Peach on the Cute Scoot FTW, it was down to the wire at the end, I got hit on the last corner and went from 1st to 3rd... before someone used a lightning! 2 people were ahead of me with the line a few meters away, none had the acceleration I had and I took it haha. What a rush. Definitely prefer the lightweight/high acceleration combo for online play, in single player it's won me races too with the insane recovery through the acceleration.

That should hopefully work.

@Bigmanfan mind dropping me a link to the Discord? I will probably play MKWolrd a ton this week, as I am going to visit family, and there is no way we will miss out on the chance to play some game together!

I played for the first time in a little while yesterday, and man it is still so fun. I do still have my complaints with the game, but when it's just the pure racing experience, man is there nothing like it. The pure adrenaline rush of hitting those shortcuts is insane.

Edit: Also would still highly recommend joining the Mario kart world discord so you can play in lobbies. Best way to play the game by a mile.

They need to add a 3 lap option to Grand Prix and online to make the game playable. Until then, they could add 100 tacks and I wouldn’t care. Just more intermission garbage. I haven’t played it since they adjusted the random track selection for online play. This game is dead to me.

I really expected DLC in the Direct, I am kinda shocked. Honestly, I have no clue how I feel right now.

If this game doesn't have any paid DLC, then I'll eventually buy it down the line, that's what I promised myself. If there is any paid dlc, then I'll just pass on it since I already want Kirby Air Riders more.

Edit: something to keep in mind is that 8 Deluxe didn't get DLC until almost 5 years after it released.

Not sure about you guys but I also thought DLC was gonna be announced in the Direct, but nothing came out.

What are the chances Nintendo thinks the game is essentially complete and won’t have DLC?

@Jhena Yeah, you often have to be lucky to take the win because of how much stuff gets thrown around, lol. It does fit Peach's character for sure! And it's nostalgic for me too.

@MarioVillager92
Thanks! Knockout Tour was not easy, but I think Mario Kart World is more luck- than skill-based, if you play against the AI. Oh yes, I know which sticker you mean. I like it too. And I really like this pose of Peach, it is so fitting of her character.

@Jhena That's awesome, congrats! I'd imagine getting the 3-star ranks in Knockout Tour is pretty hard, more so than in Grand Prix. I've mostly been playing the online. I like the sticker that's Peach's window picture from Super Mario 64.

I agree and love that Mario Kart World has a positive vibe, it's totally sick!

Thanks! I am enjoying the positive side of Mario Kart World again, instead of concentrating on the stuff, that I do not like.

Yes! I got every sticker in Mario Kart World. This means I 100% finished the game. 3 stars in every mode, every character and costume, every challenge and collectible in free roam, time trials and stickers. It was fun. My favourite sticker is the one, which you get for racing in 440 races. Looks cool.

Mario's anniversary is going to be gay as hell. He is like a stealth fighter over New Donk City: the Mario Kart races must be won!

In his expected outfit Mario will give a grand presentation on the merits of Japanese culture and table past failures like the Wii U, plumbing the depths of Princess Daisy's role in his canon and getting the shower to work.

Nobody can wait for Mario Day. Anniversary, I mean.

Yea, I think we’re gonna see some free stuff for the Mario anniversary next month.

For the future… I’m honestly not sure. I can see them making any DLC “free” with NSO again, actually.

@CaleBoi25 I think there'll be free content updates with the first in Fall 2025 because the hardware bundle is delisted during that timeframe resulting in the $80 price point regaining the spotlight.

The costumes you get from nips add to long-term playability it will stay fresh until they release new races I think

"people will come back to it no matter what"
I agree so much. I was complaining about how disappointed I am with Mario Kart World and that I do not want to play it anymore. And here I am now, playing World again and having a great time.
