Mario Kart World brings a fun twist to racing with 40 unique karts to try out. While 10 are available right from the start, players will have to unlock the remaining 30 karts as they play.
Each kart has its mix of speed, handling, and style, so if you want to win big on every mode (from 50CC to Mirror Mode), you need the right kart for the job.
But here’s the catch: unlocking all karts takes time, and it helps to know how to unlock them faster and which karts are worth it.
How to Unlock All Karts in Mario Kart World?
The method to unlock karts in the game is simple but time-consuming. You need to collect Gold Coins.
- Every 100 Gold Coins you collect unlocks 1 new kart.
- That means you’ll need to collect a total of 3,000 Coins to unlock all 30 hidden karts.
- The karts you get are completely random, so you can’t pick the one you want.
- You can collect Gold Coins in VS Race, Grand Prix, and Free Roam.
- Free Roam mode is the best way to farm coins quickly, especially for casual players.
So if you’re aiming to unlock every single kart, start collecting coins in Free Roam and keep racing!
Complete Kart Stats: Which Mario Kart World Ride Should You Choose?
Below is a simplified breakdown of all 40 karts in the game. We’ve used Mario as the test driver, since he represents the average (middleweight) class in the game.
Each kart is rated by 4 key attributes:
- Speed: How fast your kart goes
- Acceleration: How quickly it picks up speed
- Weight: Affects how you handle hits and off-road driving
- Handling: How well your kart turns and controls
Top picks for Speed: Stellar Sled, Rally Romper, Li’l Dumpy
Best for Acceleration: Tune Thumper, Cute Scoot, Fin Twin
Best Balance: Funky Dorrie, Baby Blooper, B Dasher
Here are a few highlights:
| Kart Name | Speed | Accel. | Weight | Handling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Kart | 2.0 | 2.2 | 1.8 | 2.0 |
| Cute Scoot | 1.2 | 3.0 | 1.4 | 2.4 |
| Stellar Sled | 2.8 | 1.2 | 2.4 | 1.6 |
| Funky Dorrie | 2.2 | 2.2 | 2.2 | 1.4 |
| B Dasher | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.8 | 2.2 |
| Rallygator | 2.4 | 1.8 | 2.6 | 1.2 |
| Billdozer | 2.4 | 1.6 | 2.4 | 1.6 |
| Hyper Pipe | 1.4 | 2.8 | 1.4 | 2.4 |
| Loco Moto | 1.8 | 2.4 | 1.6 | 2.2 |
Pro Tip: If you’re new to the game, start with a kart that has balanced stats like Funky Dorrie or Cloud 9. If you’re aiming to win speed challenges, go for high-speed, low-handling karts like Stellar Sled.
Summary
Unlocking all karts in Mario Kart World is a grind, but it’s also fun and gives you more ways to race. While you can’t control which kart you unlock next, knowing which ones perform best can help you plan better.
Whether you prefer speed, better handling, or just a cool-looking kart, there’s something here for every kind of player. So grab your controller, start collecting those coins, and unlock your perfect ride!
