Nintendo has lifted the veil on a few more features included in Mario Kart World, and the Switch 2 racing game looks to be packed with content, with Battle Mode returning and Free Roam adding "hundreds" of missions that feel like a throwback to Mario Kart DS's Mission Mode.
Shown off during today's Mario Kart World Direct, Nintendo confirmed that, as you'd expect, Battle Mode is back in the upcoming Switch 2 game. As a mainstay feature of the series, this isn't exactly a shock, but it's still great to see the challenge mode in action – we can expect the return of Balloon Battle (which has you firing items at your opponents in order to pop all of their balloons), as well as Coin Runners (where the goal is to collect as many coins as possible).
