Enjoying in Mirror Mode is like racing on each Mario Kart course’s barely weirder twin, and it’s again once more in Mario Kart World. When you’ve already memorized each twist and switch of the sport’s programs and are searching for an additional problem, flipping their layouts by way of Mirror Mode would possibly boost your gameplay—it simply takes a bit of additional, somewhat-confusing work to unlock.
The right way to unlock Mirror Mode

To unlock Mirror Mode in Mario Kart World, you’ll must do all of the Knockout Tour rallies and Grand Prix cups at 150cc. When you’re like me and initially did all the pieces at 100cc since you had been intimidated by all the brand new programs, it’ll be a little bit annoying to undergo all of them once more immediately. Fortunately, you don’t must win and even place in these races—for those who’re not up for the problem, even simply standing nonetheless within the Knockout Tour rallies so that you get eradicated within the first spherical works! (Simply be sure to examine for the tiny inexperienced checkmarks under the 150cc buttons to verify you’ve finished each cup and rally).
Activating Mirror Mode isn’t with out some thriller, nonetheless. Gamers are additionally theorizing that you should meet some necessities in Free Roam. I had these lined already after I unlocked Mirror Mode, however we’re not constructive in the event that they actually make a distinction but. These necessities embrace:
- 10 P Switches
- 10 ? Panels
- 10 Peach Medallions
When you’ve met these necessities, head again to the Grand Prix menu and do the Particular Cup (you additionally don’t must win or place right here). When you’ve succeeded, after the same old credit roll, you’ll get to see an enthralling little cutscene and a popup that permits you to know you’ve unlocked Mirror Mode. After that, head to VS mode—you’ll now discover Mirror Mode listed below the Class setting alongside its new 50, 100, and 150cc buddies.

If Mirror Mode someway doesn’t unlock after you full these duties, examine to just remember to’ve actually finished all of the cups and rallies in 150cc. After that, for those who nonetheless don’t unlock it by the Particular Cup, we’d suggest simply driving round in free roam to scrounge round for cash and rack up some further distance earlier than making an attempt the Particular Cup once more—it’s potential that these may also issue into Mirror Mode.
The right way to unlock Mirror Mode in Free Roam
Mirror Mode is a VS traditional, however Mario Kart World lets Free Roam followers in on the enjoyable, too. If you wish to flip your Free Roam map, you’ll must first have unlocked the common Mirror Mode by the steps above. After that, head to Peach Stadium in Free Roam. Start driving alongside the course from the beginning and climb the same old floating platforms, however when you’re excessive sufficient, soar off the course down onto the fortress’s massive crimson roof (reminder that you may rewind for those who miss!). From there, you’ll need to discover the fortress’s tower after which drive straight into the Peach stained glass a-la Mario 64. You’ll get one other little cutscene, after which the whole world shall be flipped!

When you’re finished with Mirror Mode, simply drive again into the identical stained glass to revive the world to its unique format. Comfortable racing! (Or ought to I say gnicar yppaH?)
