US EditionMario Kart World adds a team option in Knockout Tour
- Mario Kart World received a free update that adds a team option to Knockout Tour, with Nintendo saying players can join with Nintendo Switch 2 friends via local wireless or online play.
- Mario Kart World's open-world map links race courses across highways, enhancing Knockout Tour's appeal despite some old-school fans preferring traditional closed-circuit Grand Prix mode.
- Knockout rules maintain, pooling individual driver results for team scoring in two-team 12 vs. 12, three-team 8 vs. 8 vs. 8, or four-team 6 vs. 6 vs. 6 formats, with points awarded based on placement.
- Online, Knockout Tour team battles will boost social play as eliminated players can spectate and send scripted text barks, enhancing engagement alongside GameChat.
- Team Battles feature changes outcomes by letting groups win collectively, as reviewers say steady updates grow the game while fans await larger DLC and debate if the update will be paid or tied to Switch Online for the $80 game.
