Mario Kart World Reveals 8 Tracks, Including New and Classic Courses
Nintendo has officially revealed eight racetracks that will be featured in *Mario Kart World*, launching June 5 alongside the Nintendo Switch 2. The announcement came during the April 17 Nintendo Direct, giving fans a closer look at both brand-new and returning courses.
**New Tracks:**
– **Mario Bros. Circuit** – A desert town with canyon-side roads.
– **Crown City** – A fast-paced metropolis full of shortcuts and air glides.
– **Salty Salty Speedway** – A coastal course with canal sailing sections.
– **Starview Peak** – A snowy mountain track with slippery, dangerous turns.
– **Boo Cinema** – A spooky, haunted movie theater filled with ghostly hazards.
**Returning Classic Tracks:**
– **Toad’s Factory** (*Mario Kart Wii*)
– **Peach Beach** (*Mario Kart: Double Dash!!*)
– **Wario Shipyard** (*Mario Kart 7*)
Nintendo confirmed that even more classic tracks will return, with hints that a new version of *Rainbow Road* could unlock after completing all Grand Prix cups.
These tracks will be scattered across *Mario Kart World*’s open-world map, which includes a day/night cycle and allows players to drive freely between races in Free Roam mode.
With its mix of fresh environments and fan-favorite courses, *Mario Kart World* is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious entries in the series.
