Ahead of the Switch 2, fans excited about Mario Kart 9 are already prophesying the havoc of 24 players in the series’ most chaotic map: “I’d just put down the controller”

The long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 reveal finally dropped, and it confirms everything from a screen that’s at least 30% bigger to a new 24-player Mario Kart 9 – and unsurprisingly, fans are running wild with what the latter could mean for the game.

Although Nintendo has yet to confirm whether the new Switch 2 teaser truly does showcase Mario Kart 9, it’s almost certainly the case – after all, Donkey Kong looks to have received a Mario movie-themed glow-up and Princess Peach is seen sporting a different outfit than she was in Mario Kart 8. Something stands out above all other elements spotted by eagle-eyed stans of the series, however, and that’s the potential of 24 players per race.
