The new voice actors for Mario Kart World’s Peach and Toad have been revealed—with actors Paul Castro Jr. (Toad) and Courtney Lin (Peach) taking to social media to confirm their new roles and thank Nintendo. This revelation follows June 2025 news that the former Peach and Toad voice actor Samantha Kelly would no longer voice the popular characters in Mario Kart World.
Mario Kart World is the flagship launch title of the brand-new Switch 2, with Nintendo innovating and transforming the smash-hit racing series into an open‑world adventure. The game brings modes like Knockout Tour mode, which is a battle‑royale‑style race with checkpoints and eliminations, and a Free Roam mode where players explore the map to complete missions and more. Players can also take on classic modes like Grand Prix and Time Trial, though these have been enhanced by some new mechanics. Although the game was one of the most anticipated titles on Nintendo’s new console and has received positive reviews, Mario Kart World’s fans have criticized some aspects of its gameplay and have also felt disappointed to learn that one cast member was no longer part of the series.
