The Nintendo Switch 2 launch date of June 5th is getting closer, and we're getting more information on one of its biggest launch titles. Mario Kart World, the successor to a long string of successful Mario Kart racing games, is at the top of the list for many gamers. Nintendo developers recently answers various questions about the next installment, including some whimsical ones.

Kosuke Yabuki is the producer for Mario Kart World, and he reminds us that this is the first Mario Kart release on console since the 8-year-old Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. He tells us that the biggest change is the larger, interconnected world that also has various environmental changes. You can also drive anywhere that you please, which reminds us of Forza Horizon 5's world.

Due to the large world, food was also introduced, and that opens up a variety of things to experience. Yoshi's is a drive-thru that sells hamburgers, and naturally, this raised important question asking if Mario actually "eats mushrooms" or just touches them.. According to the developers, Mario does indeed eat mushrooms. Mystery solved.
