Get ready for a quick but packed show. Nintendo just announced that Mario Kart World Direct on April 17 will only last about fifteen minutes. That might feel like a blink compared to the hour‐plus Switch 2 reveal, but sometimes shorter streams can still shock you. So what could Nintendo cram into that tight window?

This Direct promises a deep dive into Mario Kart World, the first mainline Mario Kart in more than a decade. Given how Nintendo loves surprises, we might also catch a glimpse of fresh characters joining the roster and remixed classic tracks revamped for next‐gen hardware. Even in just fifteen minutes, Nintendo could drop enough teaser footage to keep everyone talking until launch day.

Mario Kart World arrives June 5, the same day the Nintendo Switch 2 launches. The digital version is priced at $80, with the physical copy at $90. We're less than 24 hours before the Direct, so it is the right time to get ready for a wild ride—even if it’s a brief one.
