Every Vehicle’s Color Scheme In Mario Kart World

Though it lacks as much vehicle customization as the last game in the series, World still has some excellent color combinations to choose from

Mario Kart World may boast a bunch of character costumes to race around in or explore the free roam mode with, but it does forgo the vehicle customization from the previous game. Thankfully, some vehicles still have different color variations depending on who’s driving. Let’s break down every kart color available in Mario Kart World

Standard Kart
