This guide explains the two methods you’re able to use to get skins inMario Kart World, as well as a brief explanation of a way to farm costumesMario Kart Worldplayers can take advantage of.
How To Unlock Skins In Mario Kart World
There are two methods to unlock new skins inMario Kart World: byusing, or getting hit by, a Kamek item, or byfinding and consuming Dash Food items. You can find Dash Food items in free roam or normal race modes, whileKamek can only be found during racesas combat items are turned off in free roam.
Get Hit By A Kamek Orb Item
The easiest way to unlock costumesMario Kart Worldoffers is to simply get hit by a Kamek item during a race. These purple orbs with Kamek’s face on them are more likely to come out of Item Boxes for players in the latter half of the pack during a race. When used, they will soar past every racer in front of you and transform them.
Most of the time, being hit by Kamek will unlock a new character for yourMario Kart Worldcharacter roster. But rarely you will transform into a costumed version of your current character or a costumed variant of another. When you are hit by Kamek, you will permanently unlock the character or the skin you were transformed into.
Find And Use Food Items In Races Or Free Roam
If you want to farm skins,Mario Kart Worldalso makes this relatively easy thanks to the Dash Food item. This item can be found during races (keep an eye out for the glowing food bag, typically off to the side of the track), or at Yoshi’s Diner buildings in free roam.
When you pick one up, a random Food item will be generated. Consume the Food item you get to receive a small boost like a Dash Mushroom and possibly transform into a new skin. Depending on who you are playing as, and what Food item you consumed, you may transform into a new costume. From then on, that costume will be permanently unlocked in your character roster.
Most humanoid characters have numerous new skinsMario Kart Worldplayers can unlock, but non-human characters (like Cow, Spike, and otherMarioenemies-turned-racers) have far fewer, or none at all.
How To Farm Costumes Fast In Mario Kart World
There is a trick to farm skins inMario Kart World. Enter Free Roam, then drive until you find a Yoshi’s Diner building. Pick up the Dash Food as you normally would, consume it for a chance to get a costume, then drive back to the spot where the Dash Food spawned and wait for it to spawn again.
Repeat this until you unlock all costumes for your character, then swap to another character in your roster and keep picking up and consuming Dash Food to unlock their skins. you’re able to continue farming costumes by following this method until you unlockallMario Kart Worldcharactersskins!
