Mario Kart World is finally available along with the Nintendo Switch 2 so who better to tackle the game than tech-enthusiasts Digital Foundry. The team has come away generally impressed with Mario Kart World on the new hardware which is 1080p when played in handheld mode and 1440p when played docked. The game runs at a silky smooth locked 60fps when played handheld and docked and only slips to 30fps when in photo mode. You can check out Digital Foundry’s full thoughts in the video down below.
“TV image quality is generally fine…holding up well on a 4K television set from a typical viewing distance. Docked mode also gets a touch of post-process image treatment to adjust the 1440p resolution…handheld mode fairs a bit better though, despite its lower pixel count. There’s no anti-aliasing of any kind here, so the 1080p pixel count maps perfectly onto the 1080p Switch 2 display.”
“Visually speaking, World offers some beautiful sights with key rendering advances over prior Mario Kart games, though a lot of rendering power has gone into making the open world work. It’s really the incredible quality of Nintendo’s artistry that stands out the most here…plus it packs good resolution and frame rate metrics in portable and docked play without the low internal resolutions that typify a lot of early Switch 2 software.”
