While Mario Kart World supports up to 24 racers in every race, players will have access to a starting roster of 12 characters. But who are these characters? Let’s find out.

According to early playthroughs of the full game, the starting roster features four characters from each weight class. The characters are Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Pauline, Koopa Troopa, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi. Altogether, the starting roster consists of 12 characters.

In addition, players will be able to unlock 7 more characters by beating Grand Prix cups as shown in the list below. There are also a couple of other main characters which we have no details on how they’re exactly unlocked yet. We’ll keep you posted in our character unlock guide, so please check it regularly.
