Pixel Crit Mario Kart World Review
Dec 1, 2025
For me, these routes hurt the flow of the game, which has slowly turned me away from Mario Kart World. There is a lot I like here, and I think mechanically this is one of Nintendo’s best karting experiences. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of fluff that feels like wasted resources on Nintendo’s part. I can accept that the open world may be developed into something more fun as time goes by, sadly I just don’t find the intermission tracks fun. Which is a shame, because they take up a huge chunk of the game, preventing me from getting stuck into some of the fantastic courses the game has to offer. Nintendo have designed them to be integral to the experience, so I’m not sure if they could even revert the changes. I want to enjoy the gameplay loop of Mario Kart World, but Nintendo have managed to bloat a game without actually adding anything of substance.
