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.
