As in previous Mario Kart games, players race as characters from the Mario series in one of many selectable go-karts. The game features 50 playable characters; 24 of the playable characters have alternate unlockable costumes accessed by eating snacks during races, while most of the remaining characters additionally exist as obstacles on the game's tracks. It supports up to 24 players, twice as many compared to previous Mario Kart games, and includes features such as an open-world design, a free-roaming mode, off-roading segments, boat racing, rail grinding and wall jumping. Unlike prior Mario Kart games, the Grand Prix mode does not consist of four separate races; rather, racers must drive to each course. Outside of Grand Prix, it is possible to race on tracks for three laps like in previous Mario Kart games. Mario Kart World features some past courses from the series that have been reimagined to fit the game's open world design and to include a shift from day to night. In addition, a mode called "Knockout Tour" is introduced in the game; the 24 racers compete in one much longer race spanning the game's world, with four eliminations at each of the six intermittent checkpoints. Battle Mode returns from previous games; players compete against one another to pop each other's balloons in Balloon Battle or collecting the most coins in Coin Runners. "Mirror Mode", which horizontally inverts the entire map, also returns from the previous games. Another new mode called "Free Roam" is introduced in World; players are permitted to drive to any location, including those that are off-road or outside of race tracks. Numerous missions, such as finding collectibles, are present in this mode. In addition, players can also take photos of their chosen driver. Rebekah Valentine, writing for IGN, noted the mode's likeness to Forza Horizon (2012), an open world racing game. Nintendo began prototyping Mario Kart World for the Nintendo Switch in March 2017, just before the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. At the end of that year, Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development officially began development on the game. Kosuke Yabuki, series producer, wanted the new entry to innovate on the series' gameplay formula with an open world, as he thought the traditional gameplay formula had been perfected with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The game was titled Mario Kart World instead of Mario Kart 9 since early stages of development; the developers intended for it to be a completely new approach. Most of the new playable characters also exist as obstacles on the game's tracks; according to art director Masaaki Ishikawa, one of the designers made a sketch of a Cow from the Moo Moo Meadows track driving a truck, leading to many of the course's other obstacles becoming "NPC drivers." #pizzanopastano #mariokartworld #mariokart
