The rumored comeback of Rainbow Road in Mario Kart World could integrate uniquely within the game’s structure. This open-world design might let players transition between various tracks and onto Rainbow Road itself. Historically, this stage has often been introduced as a final playable course within Mario Kart titles.
New expansions and larger races aren’t the only modifications expected in Mario Kart World, scheduled for release on June 5. A rich roster of characters is anticipated, including returning enemies like Goomba and others, alongside a new Kart selection system that replaces individual customization. Overall, the game is set to mark a substantial evolution for the franchise at the launch of the Switch 2.
