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.
