Top 10 tips and tricks for Mario Kart World on Switch 2!

Hello, welcome back to a new video.

Today we're going to be doing top tips and

tricks for the brand new Mario Kart World,

starting with— okay, so first of all, you

need to know what the new modes are.

We've got the standard race up to 24

players, you've got the Knockout Tour,

which is one of the best new modes in

Mario Kart World in my opinion.

It is a 24-player elimination race.

And you've also got Battle, which is like

a battle mode, and you've got Gather

Friends and Compete.

So I want to focus on Knockout Tour

because I think this is the best new mode

mode in Mario Kart World, and we're going

to choose our character, Shy Guy of

course.

So what you'll notice when you first start

the game is you've only got a selection of

12 cars, so you only get these 12, and

then as you progress you'll get coins and

then you can unlock more cars.

So I've recently gotten some coins and now

I have available the Ratty Romper and also

the Roadster Royale.

Okay, so the aim of the game for the

Elimination Tour mode is basically you're

going to start off like this and you're

gonna have a huge pack of players, about

24.

So what happens is you get to the

checkpoint and basically you want to be

not the last people.

So you've got to place 20th or better to

progress into the next stage, the area of

the stage.

So the trick is you don't want to go

straight to the front of the pack because

it might sound good to rush to the front.

The problem is because there's so many

people behind you, uh, by the time you get

to the checkpoint So where you can see the

checkpoint be at the top of the map if you

want to know where the checkpoint is.

So you want to be near the back and start

collecting your power-ups so that when the

checkpoint is in sight you can do a quick

dash.

And everyone— see everyone in front of me?

They're all getting wrecked because

there's so many projectiles and chaos

going on.

So we've actually got one of the best

power-ups, a bullet one.

So we're going to save that and then wait

until we're near the checkpoint, and then

we're just going to blitz through everyone

whilst they all blow each other up.

So you don't want to get to the front.

You want to avoid the mayhem,

and, uh, hopefully it'll play out.

So we're going to win anyway because we're

16th.

You just don't want to be placed below 24—

I mean below 20— because people below 20,

those 4 people will get eliminated.

So we want to boost now because the finish

line is coming up soon.

So we just go straight to the top of the

pack.

See, there it is.

We're now number 4th.

And that's a pretty easy way, a pretty

good tactic for the Knockout Tour that I

found pretty effective.

So then again, we're now in the second

stage of the Knockout Tour, and, um,

basically what you want to do is— I mean,

if you do have a good head start in the

front, there's no need to slow down and

get behind everyone else.

So I'm number 1 now, Jesus, and I'm not

even trying.

So what's going to happen is you're

probably going to get blown up from behind

because there's, there's 20 people behind

you.

It's going to be unlikely that you avoid

everything unless they already suck.

I mean, they're not,

not really proving to be much of a

challenge yet.

I thought my banana blocked the shell.

So what you want to do is,

um, also what I noticed is you can't seem

to drive off the edges like you could in

Mario Kart 8.

I think.

Yeah, you can't drive off the edges.

So one of the things in Mario Kart 8 was

you had those anti-grav levels where you

could actually easily fall off the level.

For some reason they've taken that away in

Mario Kart World, so now you can't

actually drive off the edge.

Look, so you don't really have to worry

about if your steering sucks because you

can't fall off the edge.

So the drifting is also kind of weird.

In this compared to Mario Kart 8, in the

way that it's not as responsive and you

can't turn as sharply whilst drifting.

So it's not as forgiving as it used to be,

so you do have to be aware of that and not

really—

whoa, that nearly hit me.

Let that take him out.

I don't know what the feather does

actually.

I think it makes you jump.

Yeah, it makes you jump like that.

So that's another little tip.

And then also, yeah, press X so you can

look behind you to dodge incoming attacks.

And then yeah, that's how you do the

knockout tour.

Oh my God, I'm gonna ride into that car.

I quite like these busy highway stages

with all the traffic.

It's quite good.

Okay, now we're getting wrecked, and the

finishing line is— we're over halfway.

See, that's the problem with this mode, is

that there's so many people behind you,

you end up getting chain wrecked.

I don't know what this fruit— oh, he stole

it before I could get it.

Oh my God, this stupid lightning thing.

Well, we need to place 12th.

Or higher, otherwise we're going to get

eliminated.

Oh, I got that one!

I'm 13th.

And then this big one's pretty useful, you

can flatten people with it.

So the finishing line's coming up a bit.

Oh, we got invincibility, pop that.

Although I might have popped it a bit too

soon.

And then 13— oh, we got to place 12th or

higher.

This is bad, we got to zoom

Quit.

Okay, go, go, go.

We're 11th.

Where's the turning?

I thought the turning was there.

Oh, there it is.

We're 8th.

Should be safe.

Yeah, we're safe.

Okay, so what you want to do now is we

have to place 8th or higher.

Everyone's getting eliminated.

We're in the top

12 players, I think.

Yeah, because it will eliminate 4 players

every round.

So if you're the last 4, you're going to

get eliminated.

So you want to hang out at the back but

keep up.

Don't, don't lag behind, otherwise you

won't be able to catch up.

So you don't want to be in front of

everyone whilst they're battling it out.

Just try and get some boosts

whilst you are at the back.

And then we do our sneaky tactic, which is

we're going to creep up from behind.

Just slow down a bit if you don't want to

catch up.

Just slow down a bit.

We don't need to race to the front.

Slow and steady— I lost all my stuff now.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Okay, now you might want to think about

speeding up.

Get the giant thing.

I think the finishing line is coming up

ahead.

Or is it?

I think it's up there.

Just boost on through.

Oh my God,

boost on through.

Oh, I got hit again.

Oh my God, I got hit again.

Oh my God.

Okay, we're screwed.

We're screwed.

Damn it.

Yeah, I just got chain wrecked and

something stole my boost, so I couldn't

really do much about that.

But that's basically the gist of the

tactic, really.

Yeah, really frustrating.

I mean, that's why I said I think we

started moving forwards Uh, too early.

I blew all my cooldowns when the finish

line wasn't that close.

So yeah, then you want to do another

match.

Yeah, the graphics look really nice.

It's not all like jagged and low-res like

Mario Kart 8 is.

Does look very nice.

Everything looks so round and bubbly,

although I don't like the way drifting

feels.

Maybe I just got to get used to it.

Oh, you can move the camera around.

Yeah, use that for a thumbnail maybe.
