Taking part in 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. If you happen to’ve already memorized each twist and switch of the sport’s programs and are in search of 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.
Easy methods to unlock Mirror Mode

To unlock Mirror Mode in Mario Kart World, you’ll have to do all of the Knockout Tour rallies and Grand Prix cups at 150cc. If you happen to’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 somewhat annoying to undergo all of them once more immediately. Fortunately, you don’t have to win and even place in these races—in case you’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 ensure to examine for the tiny inexperienced checkmarks under the 150cc buttons to verify you’ve carried out each cup and rally).
Activating Mirror Mode isn’t with out some thriller, nevertheless. Gamers are additionally theorizing that it’s good to meet some necessities in Free Roam. I had these coated already once I unlocked Mirror Mode, however we’re not constructive in the event that they actually make a distinction but. These necessities embody:
- 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 have to win or place right here). If you happen to’ve succeeded, after the standard 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 beneath the Class setting alongside its new 50, 100, and 150cc buddies.

If Mirror Mode in some way doesn’t unlock after you full these duties, examine to just remember to’ve actually carried out all of the cups and rallies in 150cc. After that, in case you nonetheless don’t unlock it by way of 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 attempting the Particular Cup once more—it’s doable that these may also issue into Mirror Mode.
Easy methods 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 have to first have unlocked the common Mirror Mode by way of the steps above. After that, head to Peach Stadium in Free Roam. Start driving alongside the course from the beginning and climb the standard floating platforms, however when you’re excessive sufficient, leap off the course down onto the fortress’s giant purple roof (reminder that you may rewind in case you miss!). From there, you’ll wish 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 complete world shall be flipped!

When you’re carried out with Mirror Mode, simply drive again into the identical stained glass to revive the world to its authentic structure. Completely happy racing! (Or ought to I say gnicar yppaH?)
