Mario Kart World is available at Mascom International for KSh 10,000, a brand new and sealed physical copy for the Nintendo Switch 2. Made by Nintendo, this racer launched alongside the Switch 2 in June 2025 and stands on its own here, separate from the console bundle. Races hold up to 24 drivers, and the courses join into one large world you can roam freely between events. The whole game sits on the cartridge, so you can start racing without a big download. Pick up Mario Kart World at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for families, friend groups and mobile gamers, Mario Kart World handles everything from a ten-minute race before school to a long Saturday tournament. Parents in Westlands or Kileleshwa often need one game that a seven-year-old and a grandfather can both enjoy, and its steering and acceleration assists close that gap. Office teams use it for after-work sessions, while students carry the console home on the Madaraka Express for holidays. Knockout Tour rewards steady driving across linked courses, and Free Roam gives younger players room to explore without the pressure of a finishing position.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that leave buyers to guess, Mascom International confirms that this copy is a full game card, not a key that triggers a download. On Safaricom or Airtel Kenya mobile data, that difference can save you a costly evening of waiting. Buyers throughout Kenya report that Mario Kart World is the first game they reach for when visitors arrive. Order Mario Kart World with pay-on-arrival delivery, pay through Lipa na M-Pesa at the counter, or visit us to inspect the sealed case first.
Common Questions About the Mario Kart World
How much is Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 in Kenya?
Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 costs KSh 10,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. You get the retail case with the full game card, plus a 6-month warranty on the card against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across all 47 counties. It costs KSh 800 more than Super Mario Party Jamboree and KSh 2,000 more than EA Sports FC 26, both of which we also stock for Switch 2.
Is Mario Kart World on Switch 2 a full game card or a Game-Key Card?
Mario Kart World on Switch 2 is a full game card, with the complete game stored on the cartridge. Insert it and you can race straight away, with no large download standing between you and the first Grand Prix. Nintendo releases updates from time to time, and those still need an internet connection and some free storage. A Game-Key Card works differently, acting only as a licence that pulls the whole game from the internet.
Can you play Mario Kart World without internet or power in Kenya?
Yes, Mario Kart World plays fully offline in Grand Prix, Knockout Tour, Battle, Time Trials and Free Roam, because the game lives on the card. That helps homes upcountry where Safaricom or Airtel Kenya coverage is patchy. During a KPLC power cut, switch to handheld mode and keep racing on the console's own battery until the lights return. You only need internet for online races, GameChat and updates, ideally over home fibre rather than a mobile bundle.
Should I buy Mario Kart World or Super Mario Party Jamboree?
Choose Mario Kart World if your group wants fast head-to-head racing, and Super Mario Party Jamboree if it prefers board games broken up by short minigames. Mario Kart World costs KSh 10,000 at Mascom International, while Super Mario Party Jamboree costs KSh 9,200. Kart races reward driving skill and repeat play, and a single race takes a few minutes. Party board games lean on luck and suit relaxed evenings where nobody wants to practise. Families with young children often end up owning both.
What are Knockout Tour and Free Roam in Mario Kart World?
Knockout Tour is a Mario Kart World mode where 24 racers drive through linked courses without stopping, and low finishers are eliminated at each of five checkpoints. It feels like a long rally, so steady driving beats risky shortcuts. Free Roam lets you drive anywhere on the connected map at your own pace, finding hidden surprises between courses. Children who struggle in a crowded race often love Free Roam, since there is no finishing position to worry about.
How many players can race Mario Kart World together?
Mario Kart World races hold up to 24 drivers, mixing human players and computer racers. On one Switch 2, up to four people can play split-screen, each holding a controller. Online races against players elsewhere need a Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account. GameChat lets friends talk during online sessions, and video chat requires a compatible USB camera. Mascom International can help you set up your Nintendo Account when you collect the game, so the first online race works on day one.
Is Mario Kart World suitable for young children?
Mario Kart World is rated PEGI 3, so it suits all ages, including children who have just learned to hold a controller. Assists keep young drivers on the road and accelerate for them, letting a small child finish races alongside older siblings. Cartoon item attacks such as shells and bananas replace any realistic violence, and races last only a few minutes, which suits short attention spans. Parents can use the Switch 2 parental controls to limit play time and online features, which works well for school-term evenings.
Who should buy Mario Kart World, and who should skip it?
Mario Kart World suits Switch 2 owners who host friends, share the console with children or want one game that gets used every week. Skip it if you bought the Mario Kart World Switch 2 bundle, because that package already includes the game. Skip it too if you prefer a deep single-player story; Pokémon Legends Z-A at KSh 9,000 suits that taste better. Football fans may still want EA Sports FC 26 at KSh 8,000 as a second game, though it needs a large download on its Game-Key Card.

Package Contents
The sealed retail case holds the Mario Kart World game card for Nintendo Switch 2, with the entire game on the cartridge. This is the standalone copy, not the console bundle, so no console or controller comes inside. You will need a Nintendo Switch 2 to play, sold separately at Mascom International. The card does not work on the original Switch, Switch Lite or Switch OLED, since Switch 2 cartridges load only on Switch 2 hardware.
Warranty
The Mario Kart World game card carries a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use, such as a cartridge that will not load. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk, First Floor of Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, where staff test the card on a Switch 2.
