Mario Kart World Update Adds Classics Tracks Free for Nintend Switch 2 Players Later Today

  • Today, Nintendo released the Version 1.8.0 update for Mario Kart World, adding 10 classic tracks from Super Mario Kart playable in Versus mode.
  • These tracks were previously hidden within the game world, serving only as exploration rewards and timed P-Switch missions before becoming fully playable race courses.
  • Beyond the retro tracks, Mario Kart World added two new routes for Knockout Tour: Propeller Rally and Turnip Rally, marking the first time this elimination-style mode received new content.
  • Revealed during the September Nintendo Direct, the update arrives alongside a free Mario Kart Deluxe upgrade for Switch adding eight-player split-screen and visual improvements.
  • Since its release in 2025, Mario Kart World has sold 15.3 million copies despite a complicated fan response to its open-world design focus.
