But after a decade of Mario Kart 8, we're most excited for a fresh batch of courses. Nintendo is yet to lift the lid on every track at our disposal in the Switch 2 launch title, though we have combed through the trailers, screenshots and Treehouse Live footage to bring you the following list of every track confirmed so far.

Mario Kart World - Track FAQs
Here are a handful of frequently asked question about Mario Kart World's circuits.How many tracks are in Mario Kart World?
Image: NintendoWe don't know for sure yet, but we can make an educated guess. Each Cup consists of four races and there are seven cups that we know of, giving us an estimated total of 28 different tracks.
That said, a world map (above) published on the Nintendo website reveals 29 circuit icons. Might one Cup consist of five races? Is one circuit reserved only for Knockout Mode? We'll have to wait and see.
Are there any returning tracks in Mario Kart World?
There are a couple of returning track names in Mario Kart World (Wario Stadium, Sky-High Sundae, etc.), though we have to imagine that they have been redesigned to account for the game's new features like 24 racers.What's the best Mario Kart World Track?
Well, it's too early to comment on that! Editor Gavin had great fun on one that he says was "a bit like Toad's Turnpike with loads of traffic on a bridge."He also says he nearly won, though, so maybe check back later when we've had a chance to verify that this wasn't part of some Switch 2 fever dream brought on by excitement and dehydration.
We will be updating this guide as we see more from Mario Kart World. If you're after more Nintendo Switch 2 advice, check out our Switch 2 guides for more useful info.
