00:00.
00:21Drivers, start your engines.
00:25Welcome to the Mario Kart World game.
00:28Available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 system.
00:32What kind of races await you?
00:35In Mario Kart World, you'll aim for first place in each Grand Prix.
00:40But why stop there?
00:42Across cities, planes, a desert, and even the ocean,
00:49you can drive virtually everywhere in this fully interconnected world.
00:55Races are held on courses scattered throughout various regions that span this world.
01:00And you can freely drive between them.
01:04There's a lot in store, and we're only at the starting line.
01:08Let's introduce some of the courses that are waiting for you.
01:12Here we go!
01:16Courses are found throughout the world, inspired by their surrounding region.
01:25Let's take a look at some of the new courses to explore.
01:29Ride the ridges and roads on Mario Brothers Circuit.
01:35And cruise the curbs around the canyon. You can't miss it.
01:40See the sights and structures of Crown City.
01:47You can even soar in style down Main Street.
01:53Drift along the rapid waterways of Salty, Salty Speedway,
01:57and make a splash around the city's canals.
02:04Stay cool in the snowy trails of Starview Peak.
02:10Just don't slip off while soaking up the scenery.
02:14Have a spirited showing at the ghostly movie theater Boo Cinema.
02:20It's a whole new kind of drive-in theater.
02:25And in addition to lots of new courses, there's Toad's Factory, Peach Beach, Wario Shipyard, and more.
02:40Nostalgic courses from past titles are also here.
02:44But now they're reimagined and spread throughout the world,
02:48where races can happen during the day or at night.
02:58Race as familiar characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Yoshi.
03:09Plus new drivers like Goomba, Spike, and, that's right, Cow!
03:20Even more new racers are waiting and ready to roll.
03:24Select your character.
03:27Choose your vehicle.
03:29Then you're up to the races.
03:32Characters and vehicles each have different stats,
03:35so make sure to find the combo that best suits you.
03:39There are two main styles of race revving up in this world.
03:46Grand Prix and Knockout Tour.
03:50In both modes, up to 24 drivers can participate.
03:54The most in series history.
03:58Your rivals aren't the only hazards you'll need to avoid on the road.
04:01Look out for cars that shoot bullet bills, attacks from Hammer Brothers,
04:07and other obstacles along the way.
04:10Try to steer clear.
04:12And now, get ready for Grand Prix with Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, Star Cup, and more.
04:22Grand Prix races are held all around the game's world.
04:25You'll race through four different courses in each Cup, and aim for the top spot.
04:33In Mushroom Cup, you'll start off racing around Mario Brothers Circuit.
04:36While the second race will take you from Mario Brothers Circuit to Crown City.
04:46For the first time, you'll need to drive yourself to the next course in Grand Prix.
04:52So, don't sleep at the wheel.
04:54And if you conquer all Grand Prix Cups, rumor has it that a certain colorful course will appear.
05:07Next up is a new mode, Knockout Tour.
05:11From Golden Rally to Ice Rally and more, these extended races take you from one end of the world to the other.
05:18Get ready for a sprint, but you've got to place if you want to stay in the race.
05:30Speed towards checkpoints throughout the world.
05:33If you don't make the cut, you're out of the running.
05:39Buckle up.
05:40The competition gets more intense as you close in on the checkpoints.
05:44You've got to drive to survive in Knockout Tour.
05:49So, keep your eyes on the prize and aim for first place.
06:03Items can drastically change the outcome of a race.
06:08Here are some new items that'll help you out.
06:11Coin Shell.
06:12When you throw a coin shell, coins will appear.
06:16Now's your chance to grab them.
06:18Just don't let your rivals cash in first.
06:21Ice Flower.
06:23With the Ice Flower, you can freeze out rivals and send them spinning.
06:28Hammer.
06:29Aim the hammer in an arc and nailed it!
06:32Hammers also stay on the course for a short time and can be used to block off rivals.
06:37Mega Mushroom.
06:38With the Mega Mushroom, go big so your rivals will go home.
06:43Feather.
06:45Use the feather to jump up and avoid attacks.
06:48You may even discover some unexpected routes.
06:54Comic.
06:55Comic.
06:56With Comic's magic, your rivals will transform.
07:01What other mysterious effects will happen?
07:05You'll have to see for yourself.
07:07The lower your placement, the more likely you are to find items that'll turn the tables.
07:11So when you get items, go for it!
07:12And if you're new to the Mario Kart series, there are added support features to help you along the way.
07:25These include smart steering, which helps you stay on the course.
07:36Tilt controls, where you can hold a Joy-Con 2 controller horizontally and use motion controls to steer.
07:43And if you have the Joy-Con 2 wheel, you can feel like you're really driving!
07:49Whoo!
07:50How about a quick break?
07:51A snack sounds good right about now.
07:52Hey, look!
07:53It's a drive-thru!
07:54Here at Yoshi's, you can grab an order to go.
07:56Dash food!
07:57Take a bite!
07:58And…
07:59You can unlock outfits inspired by your meal!
08:00Eat some sushi and…
08:01Whoa!

08:25Whoa!
08:26Nice threads!
08:30Once unlocked, these outfits can be selected from the character selection screen.
08:35Who knows what dishes or outfits you'll find?
08:40Make a pit stop and check out these drive-thrus all around the world.
08:46That was a nice detour.
08:48Now let's get back to the action!
08:50Let's introduce some new tricks that'll help you ace each race.
09:01Charge jump!
09:02You can now use a charge jump by holding the drift button while driving straight ahead.
09:07Charge and release to jump!
09:09Use this to leap over obstacles.
09:14Grind along power lines.
09:18And dodge attacks from your rivals.
09:23And if you jump toward a wall, you can wall ride for a short period of time.
09:32Change some tricks together and you may even reach places like…
09:35Ah!
09:36So close!
09:37Almost there!
09:39Whenever this happens, be kind and…
09:42Rewind!
09:44This will return your vehicle to its original position.
09:49Nice!
09:50Made it!
09:52This can come in handy when mapping out how to best approach a course.
09:55Keep in mind though, your rivals will still move normally when you rewind.
10:03So don't lose your lead.
10:08Want to take a spin in even more races?
10:12In time trials, it's you against the clock.
10:16Here you can race without any other competitors.
10:19And if you go online, you can download and compete against ghost data from racers around the world.
10:34Customize the rules of the road in Versus Race.
10:39You can use the classic rule set of running three laps within the same course.
10:43Or you can choose to drive the distance from one course to another.
10:49You can even take the road less traveled and choose routes that aren't in Grand Prix or Knockout Tour.
10:57Up to 24 drivers can now compete in two, three, or even four teams.
11:04Group up and get ready to put the pedal to the metal.

11:51No roads, no problem.
11:54Ride the rivers.
11:57See the seas.
12:01Drive the desert.
12:02Or jump off from way up here.

12:13Hey, there's a P-switch over there.
12:18Hit hundreds of P-switches you find across the world to start missions.
12:26By completing them, you can hone your driving ability outside of races.
