Pretend you’re cruising around the giant Mario Kart World island. You might have come across a P Switch or spotted Yoshi somewhere you want to remember, but figuring out where exactly in the world this happens isn’t always clear. If you find yourself scratching your head, don’t worry – Shacknews is here to lend a hand and help you keep track of your location!
How to open the overworld map in Free Roam in Mario Kart World
In Free Roam mode of Mario Kart World, if you attempt to pause the game, you’ll notice a button labeled Settings/Controller. However, this button does not display the game’s controls, even though it may seem like it should. Additionally, examining the controller settings from the character selection screen doesn’t provide much assistance when navigating the overworld map, as it primarily focuses on driving controls.
To check your current location while exploring freely, simply press the ‘Y’ key on your keyboard. This will offer a closer view of where you stand in the game world. You also have the flexibility to adjust the zoom level to understand your position relative to the entire map. By doing so, you can easily track the number of points-of-interest, such as P Switches, that you’ve discovered, along with other players’ locations. Moreover, by hovering over any race course displayed on the map, you can see the count of hidden Question Blocks within it and the number that have been found so far.
To fully explore and conquer the open-world Free Roam mode in Mario Kart, it’s essential to know your current location at all times. Here’s a helpful tip: Familiarize yourself with the option to quickly access the game’s overworld map. Remember to save this link for easy reference on the Mario Kart World page here at Shacknews.
