Guide: How To Unlock Mirror Mode In Mario Kart World

Mirror mode has made a return to Mario Kart World, but unlocking it is a little more complicated than past entries.

In this guide, we will show you how to unlock mirror mode, based on our testing and reports from other players and publications.

What is mirror mode?

As the name implies, mirror mode is a mode in Grand Prix, Knockout Tour, and Versus that flips the perspective of courses. This time round, you can also enjoy Free Roam in mirror mode after unlocking it.

How to unlock mirror mode?

Based on our testing and analysis, it seems that you need to meet the following requirements to unlock mirror mode:

1. Complete every Grand Prix cup and Knockout Tour rally in 150cc. You don’t need to win a gold trophy for them – the minimum is a green check mark.
2. Collect at least 10 Peach Medallions in Free Roam
3. Complete at least 10 P-Switch missions in Free Roam
4. Activate at least 10 ? Panels in Free Roam
5. Play the Special Cup in Grand Prix in 150cc one more time (you don’t need to win it) after meeting all four requirements above

If you’ve done everything correctly, a special cutscene showing mirror mode getting unlocked will be played after playing the Special Cup in 150cc.

How to play mirror mode in Grand Prix/Knockout Tour/Versus

Once mirror mode has been unlocked, you can play mirror mode courses in Grand Prix and Knockout Tour by selecting the cup/rally you want to play, followed by selecting mirror mode on the speed class screen.

In Versus, you can select mirror mode on the customization screen before starting the game.

How to play mirror mode in Free Roam
