ImpulsegamerJun 20255/5Mario Kart World is a must-have title for the Nintendo Switch 2 that showcases this new console well and, more importantly, delivers an addictive and engaging Mario Kart experience. It's jam-packed with gameplay modes and boasts flawless game mechanics that not only play well but also look spectacular on the Switch 2.

WellPlayedJames WoodJun 20256.5/10Mario Kart World takes Nintendo's racing series to the open road with uneven results as charming character animations and a killer new mode in Knockout Tour collide with a sparse open world and new pacing tensions thanks to tracks melding into one another. A solid enough, if exorbitantly priced, new platform for a new generation, Mario Kart World has a bit more distance to cover before it can cross the finish line.

Tom's GuideJun 20253.5/5 starsMario Kart World powerslides onto Nintendo Switch 2 as the de facto launch game to play in the absence of much competition. It's a vibrant and joyful racer, perfect for playing with friends and family (or against the world online), but not all the tweaks to the classic Mario Kart formula are successful, with the new open-world mode being particularly underwhelming.
