When it comes to Mario Kart World, customisation has taken on a whole new level with the introduction of costumes for the iconic characters. From Mario and Luigi to Peach, Bowser, and even Pauline from Super Mario Odyssey, each character has a range of alternate costumes waiting to be unlocked.
Forget about choosing the color of Yoshi or Shy Guy like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In Mario Kart World, it’s all about collecting and consuming Dash Foods to unlock these fantastic outfits. From Cowboy Mario to Explorer Toad, and even Wampire Waluigi, there are plenty of unique costumes to discover.
Unlocking Costumes in Mario Kart World
To unlock costumes in Mario Kart World, you’ll need to collect and consume Dash Foods. These shiny yellow lunch bags can be found outside food stalls run by Yoshis. Each character has a specific set of Dash Foods that need to be eaten to unlock their costumes.
It’s important to note that costumes are only available for a select number of characters in Mario Kart World, focusing on the main faces of the series. Characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad have a variety of costumes to unlock, while others do not.
