Mario Kart World’s free roam jukebox will feature over 200 music tracks

Music enthusiasts who love Mario Kart are going to be thrilled with the audio experience when Mario Kart World drops! This upcoming title in the Mario Kart series is set to debut alongside the Switch 2, and it looks like the developers have really focused on creating great music for this game. In a recent interview on Nintendo’s main site, the team shared some exciting news – the jukebox for the free roam mode will include an impressive collection of 200 unique tracks!

In total, we have over 200 tracks in our ‘jukebox’. All of these are fresh arrangements and we’ve also recorded some live performances.” This means that the team has prepared a diverse range of musical genres for the game. I think both experts and novices alike will find them delightful to listen to.

As an avid admirer of Atsuko Asahi’s work, I’ve found myself immersed in her compositions for games like Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pikmin 3, and Mario Kart 8. With Mario Kart World, she takes the helm as musical lead, and from what I’ve heard so far, it seems her team has been tirelessly crafting melodies that will delight us as we traverse this virtual world. The fact that they are all fresh arrangements, some even featuring live recordings, is truly remarkable. Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate video game music for its ability to evoke emotions and immerse players in the gaming experience. I eagerly await seeing what new heights Asahi and her team will reach across various genres, and the depths they might explore in Mario Kart World.

In simpler terms, the latest Mario Kart game for Nintendo Switch is priced at $79.99 USD, which is higher than previous games in the series. Some gamers have expressed disappointment over this price hike. However, we hope that Nintendo shares more details about the game’s features to demonstrate that the higher price will be justified.

Stay tuned with Shacknews for further updates on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, as we eagerly await its release in June.
