If you’re curious about how to play with friends in the new Free Roam Mario Kart World multiplayer, you’re in the right place. I’ll walk you through everything you need to know in a kind and simple way.
Mario Kart World now has a Free Roam mode where you can drive around a giant open world. The Free Roam mode lets you and your friends explore together, but there are a few things to keep in mind about how you can play. In this guide, I’ll show you how to get started, what you can do, and what you can’t do with friends.
What Is Free Roam Mario Kart World Multiplayer?
Free Roam Mario Kart World Multiplayer lets you and your friends drive anywhere on a big open-world map. You’re not stuck on a racetrack.
You can go wherever you want, find hidden things, and play mini-games. Up to 8 people can play at the same time, either online or with local wireless. This mode makes Mario Kart feel new and exciting.
How to Play with Friends
Online Play
To play with friends online, go to the online menu and make a room or join one. Once everyone is in, you can drive around the open world, do challenges, collect items, and take group photos. You can have up to eight players together online.
Wireless Play
You can also play with friends who are close by using local wireless. Each person needs their own Switch 2 and a copy of the game. When you connect, you can all drive and play together in the open world.
What You Can Do Together
- Challenges: There are special spots on the map that start little games or tasks.
- Collectibles: You can find coins, mystery boxes, and special items hidden all over.
- Photo Mode: You can take pictures with your friends at cool places and share them.
What You Can’t Do
You can’t play Free Roam on one console with two people. There is no split-screen for Free Roam mode. If you want to play with a friend in the same room, you both need your own Switch 2 and the game. On one console, only one person can play Free Roam at a time.
A lot of fans are sad they can’t play Free Roam with a friend on the same console. This is because it’s hard for the game to show the big world for two people at once on one TV.
