Mario Kart World: A Guide to Unlocking all the 40 vehicles

When things got a little too futuristic with Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe and their gravity-defying, underwater-rolling vehicles, Nintendo decided to put an end to the modernity and return to a more traditional style in the new Mario Kart World.

More classic means you won't be racing upside down or on the seabed again, but it doesn't mean you lose out on possibilities, as the huge open world and new jumping actions still allow you to do even more amazing things with the controller. And the joy of flying and gliding remains, because although they can no longer deploy a paraglider or hang glider, MKW vehicles come with built-in wings for the aerial sections, while becoming a kind of hovercraft to float above the water and jump through the waves in true Wave Race style.

You don't have to worry about variety either, neither in appearance, nor in the traditional parameters of Speed, Acceleration, Weight and Handling. Why? Because Mario Kart World includes a whole host of vehicles that are very different from each other, and therefore, paired with all the playable characters, maintain a high level of combinatorics when it comes to setting your style, both visually and in terms of playstyle and driving.

Specifically, we've seen five types of vehicles, namely:

• Traditionalkarts. These look like real-world karts or cars in a scaled-down version.


• Motorbikes. Motorbikes and mopeds to cut corners a little more on two wheels.


• Tricycles. Between the former and the latter, usually with two rear wheels.


• Quads. Similar to those in the real world, four wheels usually generous for off-road situations.


• Sliders. They usually have shovels or skids, similar to snowploughs.

Now, we're going to tell you how to get all five of these vehicles in Mario Kart World. But first, you should know that the game includes 11 default, unlocked vehicles and 29 unlockable ones.

Mario Kart World: How to get all 29 Secret Cars

Regarding the almost 30 unlockable vehicles, we will be updating this list as we get them, so be sure to visit and reload this guide. We can now confirm that all new karts and motorbikes can be obtained by accumulating in-game coins, as was the case in the previous title. No matter the mode, online or local (or by collecting handfuls of coins in Free Roam Mode), just keep amassing as many coins as you can!

In total, you need to accumulate 3000 coins in the game to get all the vehicles. If you do the math, it's one hundred at a time except for the last unlock of them all. Which is a much quicker sum to reach than in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In fact, you can complete the full garage as fast as within 3-4 days from the time you launch the game, as we did.

As we've found, the order in which karts are unlocked changes from game to game based on a certain random factor, and while we understand that some of the later vehicles are the most valuable, you can randomly unlock them earlier. In our case, this has been the case:

1. Blastronaut III: Unlocks when you add up to 100 coins.


2. Biddybuggy: Unlocks when you earn 200 coins.


3. Pipe Frame: Unlocks when you earn 300 coins.


4. Tiny Titan (quad): Unlocks when you earn 400 coins.


5. Billdozer: Unlocks when you earn 500 coins.


6. R.O.B. H.O.G. (motorbike): Unlocks when you get 600 coins in total.


7. Li'l Dumpy (quad): Unlocks when you reach 700 coins.


8. Cloud 9: Unlocks when you reach 800 coins.


9. Hot Rod: Unlocks when you reach 900 coins.
