Yes, the MSRP Is $79.99
When bought alone, Mario Kart World is priced at $79.99, which is $10 more than the standard price of AAA titles on PlayStation and Xbox this generation. While it's tough to see prices rise, the increasing cost of game development justifies this hike. I'm optimistic that the scale and depth of Mario Kart World will make it a worthwhile investment.
What Is Mario Kart World?
Mario Kart World is set to redefine the racing genre with its largest world yet, akin to the expansive environments of the Forza Horizon series. In Grand Prix mode, you can seamlessly transition from the end of one track to the start of another, creating a continuous racing experience.
The game's dynamic tracks change with weather conditions and the time of day, impacting visibility and traction. You're not confined to the tracks either; Nintendo says you can drive "virtually everywhere" in the open world. With 24 drivers per race, it's the most populated Mario Kart game to date.
A new mode, Knockout Tour, challenges you to race across the open world, hitting checkpoints with specific placement requirements. Fall behind, and you're out. For a more relaxed experience, Free Roam mode allows you to explore at your own pace, team up with friends, and capture scenic photos.
More details about Mario Kart World will be revealed during the April 17 Nintendo Direct. In the meantime, check out our hands-on preview for additional insights.
