With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 nearly here, the excitement among the gaming community at large is palpable. Not just for the console itself either, as the arrival of the Switch 2 also marks the arrival of the latest and greatest new entry to the Mario Kart series, Mario Kart World. While there is still a bit of time to go until everyone can dive into the game properly, that didn’t stop Nintendo from releasing a fresh batch of profile icons for Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch Online!
The latest batch of icons for Mario Kart World are available right now. There’s a total of 14 character portraits and five backgrounds to begin, featuring a handful of iconic characters from the roster. Like always, characters will cost you 10 Platinum Points, while backgrounds and frames are only priced at 5 Platinum Points a piece.
