You’ll be racing against 23 other drivers in the game, which also suggests you’ll have a lot of characters to choose from. But which classic characters from the Super Mario series will be burning their rubber this June? Let’s see who has already been confirmed to be in the game so far.

Furthermore, the roster seems to offer many characters from a variety of Mario games.

Furthermore, there’s a possibility that we may have incorrectly identified some of the characters. While we did see a ghost driver in the trailer, we’re not sure if it’s Peepa or another ghost. Additionally, the inclusion of some characters like Fish Bone lead us to believe that Dry Bones could be in the game. And some characters like Pianta could have different color variations.
Furthermore, we would love to see other Mario characters like Piranha Plant or Petey Piranha, but we’re pretty darn excited to see who we can already drive with!
Overall, you’ll be able to play with these characters in a variety of modes. Firstly, you can try your hand at the classic Grand Prix Mode. But Mario Kart World offers a new Knockout Mode that really tests your ability to stay active in a race. However, if you prefer something peaceful, Free Roam mode lets you drive with any character on any of the maps.
Mario Kart World is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive launch title and the next entry in the series. We look forward to experiencing it ourselves this June.
