Mario Kart is one of the most popular video game series from Nintendo. It started on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and was continued on the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and finally on Nintendo Switch. Although that’s not entirely true. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was just an expanded version of Mario kart 8.
In May 2021 we reported that a Leaker announced a 2021 release of Mario kart 9 suggest would – as we know, nothing came of it. Now supposed insiders want more about Mario kart 9 know, some even speak of Mario kart 10 or Mario Kart Crossroads. According to a leak, the next Mario Kart will finally be announced in 2022. The integration of characters and routes from other games is to be expanded. The subtitle “Crossroads” actually makes sense. What do you think about that?
In one Tweet from LeakyPandy there is no question of Mario kart 9, but Mario kart 10 or alternatively also Mario Kart Crossroads. Count about Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit or Mario Kart Tour as the 9th part of the series? LeakyPandy also has one further explanation for this circumstance. So maybe the final name has not yet been decided.
It stands out, doesn’t it? Allegedly it is a play on words that the game is “beyond” [weit über das Mario-Universum hinaus] and introduces more NinTENdo (天) characters.

According to other recent information, a Mario kart 9 are actively in development, have already been completed to a certain extent and have a new “gameplay twist”. This works out from a report by Dr. Serkan Toto, an Industry Consultant.
According to Dr. Serkan Toto should Mario kart 9 will be presented later this year. Whether Nintendo will make a “shadowdrop” on its social media channels, an announcement for the E3 2022 plans, or only announces something within the framework of this year’s gamescom, however, Toto leaves open. Mario kart 9 should also offer a new “twist”.
Mario Kart: Double Dash !! For example, bet on two drivers per kart and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe plays with gravity. The fact that a successor is coming should not be in doubt. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is now the most successful part of the series with 38.74 million copies sold. It now remains to be seen whether Toto is right with his prognosis. What kind of “twist” would you like or are there certain drivers from the Nintendo universe who absolutely have to be there?
Alternatively could Mario kart 9 also in the footsteps of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate kick and also bring in kart drivers from other video games. What do you think?
