• Mario Kart World – A free update just zoomed in for the Mario Kart World game on Nintendo Switch 2! Version 1.5.0 adds a new option that lets you and your friends race as a team in Knockout Tour in local wireless2 and online3 play. Knockout Tour is a racing mode that challenges 24 drivers to barrel through back-to-back courses across the world, with no pit stops along the way. However, there are five checkpoints to clear, and if you're below the placement shown when you hit a checkpoint, you’ll be eliminated. Previously, Knockout Tour allowed individuals to compete in a free-for-all race against each other – with this new update, up to four teams can now compete together!
