Mario Kart World features transforming into vehicles mid-race

Players can now transform into massive vehicles like trucks and boats mid-race in the upcoming Mario Kart World, adding a new layer of gameplay. This feature, discovered during hands-on events, allows players to drive into designated vehicles found on courses, changing their kart for a larger form. The vehicles include a boat for water sections and a truck for boosting and knocking opponents. The extent of this feature, including the number of vehicles and their duration, remains unknown. Nintendo may reveal more details during the Mario Kart World Direct on April 17, before the game's June 5 launch.
