The Mario Kart World Direct has confirmed how unlocking outfits will work in the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. Meanwhile fans are being... enthusiastic for some of the outfits for characters like Peach and Pauline.
While the Mario Kart World Direct wasn't some huge revelation that would blow the doors open and reveal some massive thing to make the $80 less daunting, it did show us even more of everyone's favorite thing about the initial reveal – the cow – and also some new outfits; people liked those too.
Another interesting tidbit we found out from the latest Direct is exactly how these new fits will be unlocked in Mario Kart World. While we did previously see characters munching down on food before changing costume, Nintendo has confirmed exactly what this is.
Throughout the world, you'll find food bags, which will contain dishes such as burgers, pizzas, and kebabs. These will, in turn, give you a speed boost and unlock specific skins based on the dish (examples given include sushi giving Peach a kimono and potato chips making Mario into a cowboy).
Once you unlock an outfit via the food bag, it'll become available forever, allowing you to pick it from the character select screen.
Although these are given different slots, rather than pulling up a second menu when you select a character. It's also still unknown if every character will get an outfit inspired by each meal, as I noticed we haven't seen any alternate skins for Cow or Penguin.
