Mario Kart World will feature an overworld map similar to the Super Mario Bros. franchise with players able to explore in-between races. Nintendo promises fans will be able to drive “virtually everywhere” in this very Forza Horizon -sounding sequel to the Switch’s most popular game. There will even be dynamic weather that changes as you play.
