Race through Mute City and other new courses in Mario Kart World. Learn about its unique layouts and the absence of a classic Rainbow Road.

Mute City

Mute City is a course in Mario Kart World, a game developed by Nintendo EPD, Monolith Soft, 1-UP Studio, and Bandai Namco Studios for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game was released on June 5, 2025, in multiple regions including Australia, Japan, South Korea, and HK. This title marks a series first for not having a classic Rainbow Road.

Mario Kart World introduces new courses like Crown City and Peach Stadium, which are used twice in Grand Prix with different layouts. When played without specific routes, Crown City combines both Grand Prix layouts, with its Shell Cup and third layouts significantly cut and the former driven in reverse. Peach Stadium exclusively uses its Special Cup layout. Certain routes can mirror Peach Stadium's Shell Cup layout.

Additional layouts are exclusive to VS Races when approaching from specific routes:

  • Shy Guy Bazaar: Approaching from Wario Stadium or Airship Fortress leads to a layout featuring a palace with Daisy's emblem adjacent to the bazaar.
  • Crown City: A third layout is found in the nearby water if approached from Peach Stadium (except in the Ice Rally), Moo Moo Meadows, or Choco Mountain.

Peach Beach returns as a lap-section hybrid course. Lap 1 takes place through the original layout, with new layouts for sections 2 and 3. All routes leading to Peach Beach only utilize these new sections. Certain routes to Mario Bros. Circuit, Desert Hills, Wario Stadium, DK Pass, Koopa Troopa Beach, and Moo Moo Meadows lead to the course being driven backwards, similar to reverse courses from Mario Kart Tour. In these cases, the minimap for the destination course will be flipped upside-down (except for Desert Hills and Moo Moo Meadows).
