There are 40 karts total in Mario Kart World. You’ll start with 11, and you’ll need to unlock the remaining 29 by playing the game.
While these vehicles don’t have the customization that we saw in Mario Kart 8, they do still have individual stats, so it’s not all about just glitz and glam when it comes to picking a vehicle to drive. (Though, yes, some vehicles are just cuter and better than the others, trust me.)
Below we explain how to unlock all the vehicles in Mario Kart World, along with their stats.
How to unlock more karts/vehicles
As you play, you’ll unlock more karts for every 100 coins you collect. Unfortunately, the order in which you unlock the karts is random, so if you’re really burning for the Dolphin Dasher motorcycle, you may end up unlocking a bunch of other karts first.
If you’re playing a single-player mode, like completing Grand Prix, you’ll see a notice pop-up on the main menu screen after the match ends, noting that you got enough coins to unlock a kart.
If you’re playing in online multiplayer, the kart will unlock for you right away with no notice (which you can see when you opt to change your character by pressing the Plus button).
We found this little coin-dropping buggy looping around the DK Pass area in the Free Roam-like multiplayer lobby that we followed around to collect coins quickly:

Did you just get a Nintendo Switch 2? Are you trying to unlock every character and outfit in Mario Kart World? Or maybe you’re trying out The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the first time and you need a walkthrough for those pesky stoplights in the Forsaken Fortress? Either way, we have your back when it comes to helping you sort stuff out.
We have guides explaining how to set up your console (moving data from your original Switch to your Switch 2) as well as guides for things like getting external storage sorted out.
