The short version
- If you just got a Nintendo Switch 2, you’re new to Mario Kart, or you’re just looking to break some bad habits that are keeping you from first place, we put together some common mistakes Mario Kart World players might not realize they're making.
- Smart Steering is on by default, so casual players who aren’t trawling through their settings may never have noticed it.
- As a bonus, every 100 coins you collect in Mario Kart World unlocks a new vehicle, with 4,000 coins unlocking them all.
Key context
If you’re maxed out at 20 coins, and you just got another in an item box, don’t cash out immediately.
What to watch
Unless you have a great item on deck, or you’re approaching another item box, keeping that extra coin will allow you to quickly recover a bit of speed if you get hit.
