The Mario Kart World Direct didn't have a great deal of entirely new information, but it did expand a lot on some things that we already knew, like the game's available game modes, what you can do in the new open world, and more.

Mario Kart World is on track to be the biggest launch title for the Switch 2 and Nintendo is presenting a brand-new Direct today to dive deep into what makes it so special, and we're here to break it all down!

Nintendo is possibly hoping to steer the narrative regarding the Switch 2 back in a positive direction by showing off its most exciting game, Mario Kart World. The publisher held a Mario Kart World direct presentation on April 17th debuting 15 minutes of gameplay which showcased many of the game’s new features.
