Mario Kart World is yet another fun entry in the Mario Kart franchise. The open world of Mario Kart World is surprisingly lifeless. NintendoThe open world is the centerpiece of what’s new about Mario Kart World and it is full of stunning sights. Unfortunately, how Mario Kart World integrates this open world into its core gameplay is flat-out disappointing. From its joyous presentation to the new depth of its accessible racing, Mario Kart World succeeds in living up to the Mario Kart name despite remaining firmly in the shadow of what came before it.
