After more than 10 years of Mario Kart 8 dominating the market, Mario Kart World is here to shake up the series in a big way. As the name implies, Mario Kart World is set in an open world, which means there are a ton of changes that Mario Kart veterans need to be aware of.

Costumes in Mario Kart World are unlocked by collecting and consuming Dash Foods, which are shiny yellow lunch bags found outside of food stalls run by Yoshis (shown below).

Mario Kart World has introduced one mechanic that I was personally surprised to see, and that’s Dash Food. These are snacks – lovingly crafted and handed out by Yoshis across the map – that you can consume while racing or free-roaming for a quick boost, and with some luck, a new costume for the character you’re playing.

Typically, the sort of player who can harness this type of advanced play would have an easier time taking on NPC racers, where set programming cannot evolve alongside the changing human understanding of the meta. Instead, many of these hardcore players are reporting that Mario Kart World is unlike anything in the series they’ve ever experienced.
