Discussion Will Mario Kart World get DLC?

How do you think Mario Kart World will handle future DLC tracks?

Mario Kart 8 got a ton of post-launch support with DLCs that basically doubled the number of tracks—from 48 to 96.

Mario Kart World, on the other hand, only has 28 confirmed tracks so far (maybe a few more we haven’t seen yet). Given how insanely well Mario Kart sells—especially on the Switch—it feels like a no-brainer that they’ll add more tracks down the line.

But here’s the thing: since World is an open-world Mario Kart game where all tracks are physically connected within one big world, it’s hard to imagine how they’d add new tracks the same way. They can’t just drop them in like in MK8, because every track is also a part of the open-world layout.

So how do you think they’ll handle it? Expand the world? Add new areas? Or maybe separate DLC worlds entirely? Curious what you all think.

I want this, but I don't think it'll be soon because of the backlash unless they include it with NSO+ or something.

Probably. Or at least extra tracks and carts included in NSO+ sometime down the road.

They could patch in a warp pipe at the end of the 'last' track. Pipe takes you anywhere (DLC 1 ZONE), in a style that is Mario cannon.

Depend how much open space there is in the map. Theoretically they could land any MK8 track in the middle of a field. Drive up, enter the “arena” start your classic MK race.
