Nintendo hosted the highly anticipated Mario Kart World Direct today, showcasing 15 minutes of the game, including new modes, characters, items, courses, and a lot more. This is set to be the biggest Mario Kart game in series history, and it’s launching exclusively for Switch 2 on June 5.

Mario Kart World features a series first: an interconnected world where you can drive anywhere, including cities, plains, a desert, and the ocean. It features dynamic weather conditions and a day/night cycle.

It was already confirmed that there will be a Free Roam, Grand Prix, and Knockout Tour mode. What was confirmed in the direct was the return of Missions and Battle Mode online.

There will also be new Techniques, Items, GameChat, CameraPlay Support, and more.

Here are the details of what will be coming to Mario Kart World via Nintendo:

• New Items: Tear up the track with a selection of new and returning items. Throw a Coin Shell to knock rivals off course and make coins appear that gradually increase the speed of whoever collects them. Chill out the competition (and send ’em spinning) with the Ice Flower. Bring down the Hammer to nail your rival or briefly block their path. Use a Mega Mushroom to grow big and squash your rivals. Leap to new heights with the Feather. Call in Kamek’s magic to transform your rivals into something surprising and cause unexpected chaos on the course. The lower your position, the more likely you’ll receive items that could turn the tables, so when you get something good … go for it!
• Even More Modes: Whether you want to race or battle, there are even more ways to stoke some friendly competition in Mario Kart World. Race against the clock in Time Trials, where players can also go online to compete against ghost data from racers around the world. And you can customize the rules of the road in VS Race, where drivers can decide if they want to compete with two, three or four teams with a classic three-lap ruleset or by driving from one course to another.
• Grand Prix: Bring home the gold in Grand Prix, which consists of four different races to win each Cup – including the Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, Star Cup and more – held across the game’s world. And for the first time in the series, racers will need to drive from one course to the next as part of the Grand Prix! In Mushroom Cup, for example, you’ll start off racing the Mario Bros. Circuit, then the second race will have you covering the distance from Mario Bros. Circuit to Crown City. Conquer every Grand Prix Cup and you might just unlock a certain colorful course!
• Knockout Tour: Race from one end of the world to the other in these extended rallies, with checkpoints dotted throughout. If you don’t make the cut, you’re out of the running, so buckle up for these non-stop sprints because you’ll need to keep pace to stay in the race. Your rivals aren’t the only hazards you’ll need to avoid on the road, either. Vehicles that shoot Bullet Bills, Hammer Bros. attacks, and other obstacles will find their way into this mode as well. Drive to survive and keep your eyes on first place!
• Free Roam: There is plenty to discover in Mario Kart World that goes beyond racing. So when you’re not aiming for first place, take the scenic route in Free Roam! Explore panoramic vistas, go (way) off-road, see the seas and find secrets like hidden coins, or hit P Switches to take on hundreds of missions that can help improve your driving skills outside of races. You can also take in-game photos while free roaming, so take a road trip and strike a pose at the sights.
• Battle Mode: Battle Mode is back and more hectic than ever! Secure the gold by collecting the most coins in Coin Runners or burst your rivals’ balloons with items in Balloon Battle. If you pop all of your rival’s balloons, they are out!
• New Techniques: Leap over obstacles and more with the new Charge Jump move. Use it to jump onto rails that you can grind, dodge attacks from your rivals and even jump toward a wall to ride on it for a short time. You can also chain together wall-rides to uncover hidden routes. Miss your mark during Free Roam or single-player mode? Just use Rewind to reset your vehicle to its original position – this is a great way to undo a driving mishap, but keep in mind that your rivals will still move normally while rewinding, so try not to lose your lead!

Mario Kart World will cost $79.99 when it releases. The Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle will cost $499.99 which would make the game only a $50 purchase.
