Mario Kart World Gets a Much-Needed Boost with Knockout Tour Team Option
A free update has dropped for Nintendo Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World, bringing long-awaited team support to its popular Knockout Tour mode. The game's competitive scene just got a lot more exciting, as solo drivers can now compete against opponents in teams of varying sizes.
In the updated mode, players will be divided into two-, three-, or four-team groups, with CPU-controlled teammates filling out the roster if necessary. What sets team play apart is that individual scores are pooled together, with the overall performance benefiting from teamwork. The highest scorer earns a substantial 50 points for a top finisher spot, while those who fail to advance earn only one point.
But here's the twist: eliminated drivers can still spectate and cheer on their teammates, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. Team play is now accessible via local wireless or online modes, allowing friends and foes alike to compete in a whole new way. With this update, Mario Kart World has taken its competitive scene by storm, offering more thrills, spills, and team-based action than ever before.

but seriously, this update is gonna bring some new life to the competitive scene, especially with the spectating mode... now if only they'd implement more accessibility features for players with disabilities 
. and can we talk about how awesome it is that Nintendo's finally caught up with the rest of us and added team support? 
no more solo racing, now it's all about strategy and working together with your teammates 
the way eliminations work adds an extra layer of excitement, can't wait to try it out online with my friends 
teams in Mario Kart?! i mean, i'm down for it, its actually kinda cool to see how the game changes with this new mode, especially when you gotta strategize together with your teammates... like if u got a strong teammate but ur other 3 are trash 
. i just hope they keep adding more features like that, maybe even some online leaderboards? would be sick to see who's the ultimate team player 
having the option to compete in teams of all sizes is going to bring so much more excitement to knock out tour mode - can't wait to see some epic comebacks from teammates who got knocked out 
anyone else been playing mario kart world?
it's like they're setting up some kinda team-based ranking system that'll lead 2 some kinda championship or something... mark my words, this update is just the beginning of somethin bigger 
! Adding teams is gonna take gameplay to a whole new level - it's like, you gotta communicate with your teammates, work together, and strategize... it's not just about being the fastest guy on the track anymore 
. It's all about that team spirit, fam! The fact that you can play in 2-, 3-, or 4-team groups is so cool too... it's like, you'll have to adjust your strategy on the fly depending on how many teammates you're working with 
. Can't wait to try this out and see what kind of crazy team moves I can pull off 
!
. It's amazing how something like this can add so much depth to the game and make it more exciting for players of all ages. And let's be real, who doesn't love watching their little ones cheer on their teammates from the sidelines? 
Let's get this Mario Kart party started!!!
now we can actually work together with our friends and crush those noobs in multiplayer mode 
i mean, who doesn't love the thrill of racing with their squad and having each other's backs (or should i say, each other's wheels?) while still trying to one-up them for that sweet 50 point bonus
