Nintendo confirmed that the Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct will take place on April 17, 2025. As officially confirmed by Nintendo beforehand, the broadcast lasted for just over 15 minutes. As always, the most reliable place to watch the Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct was via the official Nintendo YouTube channel.

The Mario Kart World Direct didn't have a great deal of entirely new information, but it did expand a lot on some things that we already knew, like the game's available game modes, what you can do in the new open world, and more.

Nintendo hosted a Mario Kart World Direct this morning, showing off all the features of the upcoming launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2. Amid all the new tricks and modes, Nintendo also confirmed a slew of new and returning tracks and racers for Mario Kart World.
