Mario Kart World's open-world doesn't work as well as intended, but the new battle royale style Knockout Tour delivers a great new way to play.

Knockout Tour in Mario Kart World features a challenging race where the bottom racers are eliminated at each checkpoint. Some Knockout Tour cups are more enjoyable than others, with distinctive starting points and tough finales.

Mario Kart World’s most intense mode ditches tradition for pure survival, turning every race into a gauntlet of pressure, pace, and elimination.
