Video Games Weekly: Mario Kart World is the opposite of punishing


The gaming news you need, June 10 - 18.

Mario Kart World is flow-friendly and accessible, and these subtle tweaks diminish some of the series’ most annoying aspects, like resetting after a barrage of explosive bullshit gets hurled into your bumper. Meanwhile, the tracks in Mario Kart World are so very, very pretty — looking at you, Starview Peak and Rainbow Road — the character roster is stacked with super adorable fresh faces, motorcycles are more stable than previous games, and the 24-player Knockout Tour is a fun test of skill. Senior reviews writer Sam Rutherford is a beast for collecting all of his thoughts on the Switch 2 so quickly and with such fabulous insight, and it’d be a shame if you didn’t get to absorb all of that delicious knowledge for yourself.
