Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on: First impressions of 'Mario Kart World' and 'Donkey Kong Bananza'

Summary

Nutrition label

62% Informative

Mario Kart World has the potential to be an unbelievably cool entry in the Mario Kart canon.

Donkey Kong : Bananza is doing incredible things with the concept of 'punching' The game is set in a large, seamless open world, with no reprieve from racing, except for in a free-roam mode.

Nintendo seems to have removed (or at least sidelined) kart customization.

DK can rip up a piece of the ground below him and either throw it at enemies or ride around on it like a snowboard made of stone.

The real magic here is that you can start digging through the world in a way that feels like you're breaking the game or doing something you shouldn't do, only to find that there was actually a secret area beneath you.

Crucially, it just feels really good to punch everything in your path.
