Mario Kart World Won't Have 200cc At Launch, But Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Will, Kind Of

Both Mario and Sonic are getting new racing games soon, with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Kart World launching tomorrow and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds hopefully releasing before the end of 2025 if all goes to plan. Now that one of those games is ꧒almost here, and we're learning more about it, fans of the plumber and the hedgehog have started taking shots at each other, arguing about which of their racing games will be better.

Confirmation that Mario Kart World won't h༺ave a 200cc mode is what has revived the 35-year-old back-and-forth between the fanbases of gaming's original warring mascots. World's producer Kosuke Yabuki that while they're aware pla♊yers like the larger engine size option, they can't say at this stage whether it will be something added to World at a later date, like it was in Mario Kart 8.

Coincidentally, shortly after news that World won't have 200cc started to do the rounds, Sega jumped on th꧑e chance to . Although they don't have the same names as Mario Kart World's - that would be a little too on the nose - CrossWorlds players will have four speed options to choose from as opposed to Mario Kart's three.

Sonic Goes Fast, That's Kind Of His Whole Deal

CrossWorlds players will have Normal, High, Sonic, and Super Sonic Speed to choose from, using a video featuring all four to demonstrate just how different each option will look💮 and feel. Just in case how fast Sonic is whizzing around the track isn't enough to demonstrate the difficulty difference, there's a meter tracking just how fast the Blue Blur is driving in th🐬e corner of the screen, his car almost hitting 250mph when driving at Super Sonic Speed.

It didn't take long for Sonic fans to presumably do exactly what Sega wanted them to and start comparing CrossWorlds speed options to World's. "Mario sellin💎g for $80 and not having 200cc at launch? But you know which kart racer will?" seems to have generated the most friction. Clearly shared to irk Mario fans, and if so, mission accomplished.

The replies are almost exclusively Mario Kart fans springing to World's defense. A popular comeback is pointing out that at least World h🌜as a release date. While CrossWorlds is expected tℱo launch in 2025, that still hasn't been confirmed. Another has noted that despite CrossWorlds being available on multiple platforms, its sales numbers won't come close to Mario Kart World's.

200cc or not, and despite its $80 price tag, there will be a lot of people playing Mario Kart World tomorrow. There's a distinct possibility that it has just as long a tail as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, too, and that eight years from now, new players will still be paying $80 for it. Hopefully, by that point, Nintendo will have added a 200cc option.
