# The Mount Wario-ification of Mario Kart [The Track That Inspired Mario Kart World](https://youtube.com/watch?v=GHPJoQ4OIWg) by hotcyder <div class=iframe-container> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GHPJoQ4OIWg?si=tDU778hEdvS214fi" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> In my growing notes on *Mario Kart World*, early on I wrote down the following; > "It’s the Mount Wario-ification of Mario Kart." I didn't even have to click on hotcyder's video to know he too was talking about Mount Wario. That ski slope is one of the greats from *Mario Kart 8*. And the [music](https://youtube.com/watch?v=MBBTr_dlma8) is [no slouch](https://kotaku.com/how-music-makes-mario-kart-8s-best-level-even-better-1626638333) [either](https://youtube.com/watch?v=-6K4NiDP04I). *Mario Kart World* is wholly inspired by this A to B style race over the traditional three-lapper. Knockout Tour is sublime kart chaos. I cannot get enough of it. I am loving the design and rush this layout gives off.
