Nintendo explica por qué Mario Kart World no tiene personajes invitados de Zelda o Animal Crossing

Interesting statements from Mario of Mario Kart are back! After knowing all the information shared in the Nintendo Direct of this game, we now have more details about Nintendo Switch 2. On the website we have already updated all the games announced for the console and now we have news about this release.

You know that in this release there are no guests from other franchises like Link (Zelda) or Canela (Animal Crossing), unlike previous releases. Now we have found out why:

• The producer Kosuke Yabuki explained in a recent interview with Ouest that this decision was made to maintain the essence of the game within the Mario world.
• Although Mario Kart 8 Deluxe included external characters, in this case the team wanted to focus exclusively on the Mario cast.
• Mario Kart World has the largest number of racers in the history of the series: 24 per race.
• In addition to classic characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser, there are curious options such as Spike and the Cow.
• Yabuki highlighted the unexpected affection of the public towards the Cow as a playable character.
• He assures that the variety does not affect the game balance: all characters are designed to offer the same opportunities.
• The goal of the game remains being fun together, without the need to include characters from other franchises.

Don’t forget that we have also been able to test it and you have our impressions and exclusive gameplay here. And we have also analyzed it in detail here.

This comes after the announcement of the pack with Nintendo Switch 2 that is already available for pre-order on Amazon and adds to these compilations that we have offered on the website about Mario Kart World:

We had already huge vehicles that we can drive as well as new driving techniques and another change to the Spiky Shell.

Remember that recently it was also confirmed that we could customize the karts with stickers.
