"Mario Kart World received a free update today that brings a team option to its Knockout Tour mode. Initially, the Knockout races in this Nintendo Switch 2 launch title were only for solo drivers, challenging players to finish ahead of enough other competitors or get eliminated from the series. It was one of the highlights of the game in our review, and this new wrinkle should bring plenty more fun chaos to the racetrack."
"In the team mode, players compete either in two teams of twelve, three teams of eight or four teams of six. If you don't have enough people to fill out a team CPU drivers will complete the roster. You'll still progress or be knocked out based on individual performance, but your score will be pooled with your teammates' results. More points are awarded for placing highly in a race, with 50 going to the top finisher while drivers who don't advance to the next course only get one. Eliminated drivers can continue to spectate the game and cheer on their teammates. Team play can be hosted via local wireless or online play."
A free update for Switch 2 adds a team option to Mario Kart World's Knockout Tour mode. Knockout races were previously solo-only, requiring drivers to finish ahead of enough competitors to avoid elimination. Team mode supports two teams of twelve, three teams of eight, or four teams of six, with CPU drivers filling empty slots. Progression and elimination remain based on individual performance, while individual points are pooled for team totals. Top finishing positions award more points (50 for first), and drivers who fail to advance receive one point. Eliminated drivers can spectate and cheer. Team play supports local wireless and online sessions.
