Is Mario Kart Knockout Pure Luck?
88Mario Kart’s Battle Royale mode—Knockout Tour—is completely broken... and I can’t stop playing it. In this video, I dive deep into why Mario Kart World’s new Knockout Tour is both one of the most frustrating and fun modes ever added to the series. Whether you’re a Mario Kart veteran or new to the series on Nintendo Switch 2, this mode flips everything you know about racing on its head.
With 24 players starting each race and the last 4 eliminated every lap, Knockout Tour feels like Nintendo’s chaotic answer to Fortnite-style battle royale—but with banana peels, blue shells, and Bob-ombs flying everywhere. The result? Total mayhem where luck decides who survives and who gets instantly knocked out. You could be in 1st place only to get blue-shelled, red-shelled, and bombed into 24th all in the final stretch.
I’ll talk about how the insane item spam, tight pack racing, and pure RNG (random number generator) make Knockout Tour less about skill and more about surviving the madness. But despite the chaos and the questionable balance, I still love this mode—and I explain why it could point to the future of Mario Kart.
I also explore the possibility of Nintendo turning this into a true 100-player open-world Mario Kart battle royale—imagine huge open tracks, shrinking zones, item battles across the map, and an epic fight to be the last kart standing. Could this be the evolution the Mario Kart series needs on the Switch 2?
