Mario Kart World update apparently leaked, could restore Battle Mode

Nintendo appears to have leaked a Mario Kart World content update ahead of Mario Day next week, and players reckon it could bring back a fan-favorite Battle Mode.

The game launched with the Switch 2 last June, but Nintendo has remained quiet about major updates. Its $80 price drew controversy, and an immediate paid DLC announcement could prompt further backlash.

Some players are already speculating a DK-themed expansion, citing his lack of outfits and music in the game and curious voice actor names listed in the credits.
