Before Mario Kart World , Nintendo Switch gamers were able to enjoy mirrored versions of courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which were unlocked from the start.
A new Japanese commercial for Mario Kart World appears to confirm reverse courses, as spotted by NintendoSoup and GaplekBehemoth on YouTube. Specifically, the gameplay footage at the 1-minute mark of the video highlights a reverse version of the Mario Bros. Circuit course, which is the first course in Grand Prix. The mini-map is also reversed to ensure the player can accurately read their position on the course while they race up to 24 players or CPU opponents at once in Mario Kart World . Nintendo has not officially commented on the inclusion of reverse courses, but the footage seems reassuring for fans wanting more course variation.
It's also worth noting that the Japanese commercial didn't have any UI elements from Knockout Tour, so it's possible that reverse modes may be a dedicated option and replacement for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's mirror mode. In addition, reverse courses do not mirror the entire game to simulate playing a track in its reverse layout, since the game world is seamless. Moreover, Mario Kart World's extensive routes , highways, and roads can connect more than one course together, allowing players to play on courses in the opposite direction depending on the exact course selection in Knockout Tour and Versus mode.
When Mario Kart World launches on June 5, players will be able to unlock the game's version of Rainbow Road by completing all cups. Nintendo hasn't shared any specific details on Mario Kart World's Rainbow Road yet, but it could be one of the game's most challenging tracks to master if a reverse variant is also available.
