Mario Kart World’s long list of unlockables includes characters, outfits, and stickers, among other things, but the most competitive drivers will no doubt try to collect every unlockable vehicle as fast as they can. Here’s what you need to do to get them all.
How many karts are in Mario Kart World
There are a total of 40 karts in Mario Kart world.
There are 11 vehicles unlocked at the beginning. At the time of writing, we can also confirm there are 29 karts, motorbikes, and ATVs you need to unlock, raising the total to 40. We don’t rule out the possibility of secret unlockables tied to more obscure game conditions though, but we’ve yet to see any beyond these 40.
How to unlock new karts in Mario Kart World
The good news is that vehicles are very easy to unlock, though it’ll take you a while to collect them all. You just need to earn coins in races, battles, and other game modes. In total, you’ll need 100 coins to obtain a new vehicle.
This amount doesn’t increase with each new unlock, so you just have to keep playing the game. It must be noted you can’t gain more than 20 coins per race, and you’ll also lose some each time you’re hit by an object, so there’s a bit of a grind involved... unless you play a specific mode.
In the Battle Mode Coin Runners (which you can play solo or with friends), the objective is to collect as many coins as you can to win rounds. That means the ‘20 coin’ limit doesn’t apply here, and you can bank them all the same. This might be the quickest way to work towards the unlockable vehicles.
Additionally, there are stacks of coins placed all over the open world in Free Roam for you to collect if you want to unlock new Mario Kart World karts faster.
On top of those, the Coin Runners trick, and simply picking them up during races or from players who have been hit, there are three pick-up items that generate coins when used: the ? Block, the Coin Shell, and the Coin (which gives you several coins).
