Whenever a fresh version of Mario Kart emerges, it’s customary to expect novel additions, and Mario Kart World is no exception! In a presentation today, we were given a peek at an array of new items set to arrive in Mario Kart World, along with demonstrations of their functions. The lineup includes Coin Shells, Hammers, Ice Flower, Mega Mushroom, Feather, and even the appearance of Kamek himself – offering plenty of fresh gameplay possibilities to explore!
During today’s Nintendo Direct focused on Mario Kart World, Nintendo unveiled some exciting details about the game’s fresh additions to its power-up arsenal. These new items promise a variety of offensive and defensive strategies to help maintain that lead in races. As with previous versions, your position relative to first place influences the strength of the items you receive. What sets this version apart is the inclusion of several entirely new power-ups!
The new items in Mario Kart World and their effects are as follows:
- Coin Shell: When you throw this gold shell, it leaves a trail of coins behind it for you to collect and pick up speed.
- Hammer: The Hammer Bros. Hammer can be used rapid-fire like the Fire Flower, letting players chuck arcing hammers into the road ahead. They stay in the ground for a moment after landing, so players can be hit by the throw or crash into them in the road.
- Ice Flower: The icy version of the Fire Flower, this one will pelt your foes with ice and freeze them up, spinning them out. This seems to play pretty much the same as the Fire Flower with a cosmetic difference.
- Mega Mushroom: Turns your character and kart into giant forms. While in this state, you’ll go faster, and if you hit other drivers, you will flatten them out as you roll over them.
- Feather: Allows you to jump no matter where you are. This item can be used to dodge the items of other players, including jumping over Red Shells. You’ll also be able to discover secret routes in courses with the Feather’s help.
- Kamek: A wild card item. This summons Kamek to cast his magic on your opponents. Kamek’s magic is chaotic and could have all sorts of different effects. In the Direct, Kamek attached a Bob-omb to every other driver’s back after being summoned.
As an influx of new content is expected, the races in Mario Kart World might become the most turbulent ever seen within the franchise. The anticipated release date is June 2025, and it will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Keep checking back for updates on the Mario Kart World topic.
