Mario Kart remains one of the biggest Nintendo franchises in gaming despite not having a new release in the past decade.
Ever since its launch, players have lined up on the starting grid in a bid to leave their opposition in the dust.
After launching the Booster Course Pack in 2022, fans of the racing game have started to turn their attention to the next chapter of Mario Kart and what Nintendo has in store.
The Switch 2 reveal trailer showcased a few clips of the red plumber drifting his way around the track. Does this mean Mario Kart 9 is on the horizon? Here's everything we know.
Is Mario Kart 9 launching alongside the Nintendo Switch 2?
There's every chance Mario Kart 9 launches alongside the Nintendo Switch 2.
Mario Kart 8 was re-released on the original Switch when the console launched, making it one of the most successful games ever made.
Nintendo has yet to reveal the games that will be released alongside the new console, but we expect the red-hatted plumber and a whole host of other characters to take to the track once more.
