Get ready for some exciting news! Vampire Waluigi, or “Wampire” as he’s cheekily called in the game, is making a comeback in Mario Kart World. This fan-favorite character initially turned heads with his outstanding outfit in Mario Kart Tour, and now he’s back to thrill us once again.
The team at Outside Xtra got an exclusive sneak peek by trying out the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. Their enthusiasm was palpable, matching our own excitement at seeing Wampire back on the track.
If you swing by Yoshi’s drive-thru during your game, you might find a Dash Food item. Occasionally, these items unlock new outfits, which you can then choose for your character in the selection screen—a delightful addition to your customization options.
The recent Mario Kart World Direct offered a comprehensive glimpse into this new racer, which, for the first time, features an expansive, interconnected world. They’ve unveiled 50 characters so far, blending beloved series veterans with fresh faces, ensuring an ever-evolving lineup.
Mark your calendars! Mario Kart World is hitting stores and the Nintendo eShop exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th, 2025. So, get ready to rev those engines—adventure awaits!
