Mario Kart World<\/a><\/em> is sporting the biggest<\/em> Mario Kart character ensemble we\u2019ve ever had. With additions like \u201cCow\u201d and \u201cSnowman,\u201d it seems like the real question is, \u201cWho isn\u2019t<\/em> in Mario Kart World<\/em>?\u201d Either way, if you\u2019re looking to see if your main made the cut or if you\u2019re trying to see the new bizarre additions, we\u2019ve got your back.<\/p>\n

There are some characters that we haven\u2019t seen in trailers that were in previous titles, like Diddy Kong and the seven Koopalings, but we\u2019re holding out hope for them. (At the very least, they\u2019re more likely to return than Isabelle, Link, and the other crossover characters that were in Mario Kart 8<\/em>.) <\/p>\n

Below we list every confirmed character in Mario Kart World<\/em><\/strong>, seen in trailers, Treehouse Live streams, and other promotional material.<\/p>\n

All returning confirmed characters in Mario Kart World<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a list of characters returning from previous console Mario Kart games that we were able to spot in various promotional media for Mario Kart World<\/em>, along with some screenshot proof that we saw them, we swear. (We note \u201cconsole\u201d since we are not including characters who made their playable debuts in the mobile game Mario Kart Tour<\/em>.)<\/p>\n
