Mario Kart World

Retro Gamer

Issue 274

DOES NINTENDO'S LAUNCH GAME OFFER YOU THE WORLD?

A good launch game needs to do a lot of things. It needs to justify an upgrade to a new console, show off the capabilities of your shiny new piece of hardware, ideally offer an experience you couldn't get on your previous system and be worth its financial outlay. Mario Kart World nearly manages to do all these things.

Firstly, Mario Kart World is a significant upgrade over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, not so much in terms of the number of tracks it offers, but definitely in its sheer scope and the ambitious design of its stages. There's a lot to unpack in Nintendo's new game, as well as a lot that will be familiar to longtime fans.

The standard cup structure is still here, meaning you can attempt to master 50cc, 100cc and 150cc classes. Multiplayer has once again been included, and bloody chaotic fun it is too, and it features a mix of brand-new and retro-inspired tracks, as well as a killer medley of familiar tunes and characters. So far, so Mario Kart.

The Bat Man of Best Buy

There was a time, before online preorders, when a console launch felt like a holiday. You circled the date on the calendar, started saving up your money and cleared your schedule as if the whole thing was a proper vacation. And back then, scarcity wasn't much of a concern. As long as you had a retailer nearby and some patience, you had a fair shot. Then came the Flippers.
