Mario Kart World Tour

**Mario Kart World Tour** is a free DLC stage in *Super Smash Bros. Nexus.* It was added for free in Version 2.1.0.

## Stage Description

Mario Kart World Tour is a moving/transforming stage that takes place on a large platform with three smaller platforms in a reverse pyramid formation, stopping at several points around the world. The stage is based on *Mario Kart Tour,* with each of its transformations being based on a different city track, and each city having 1-3 areas the stage can be set on. Shy Guys, Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros, and other Mario enemies drive around the tracks, with each city being assigned a different enemy. These enemies can run into fighters, dealing damage. While the stage is moving between variants of the same track, the floor of the track is capable of launching fighters upwards. While moving between cities, the stage flies into outer space and around Earth, before zooming towards the city. While the stage is in space, fighters can be KO'd by the lower blast zone.

There are 14 cities that the stage visits, and 42 forms total. New locations were added in updates as they were added in Mario Kart Tour. The locations the stage visits include:

## Trivia

* Mario Kart World Tour is the only free DLC stage in *Super Smash Bros. Nexus.*
	+ It is the fourth free DLC stage in the series, following Duck Hunt in *Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS*, Miiverse in *Super Smash Bros. for Wii U,* and Small Battlefield in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.*
* Mario Kart World Tour is the only stage with the option to play the song "Mario Kart Tour Medley."
	+ This music track does not use remixed versions of the songs included, instead transitioning between songs already in *Nexus* in order to sync up with the stage transformations. For example, when the stage transforms from a New York layout to a London layout, the song will switch from New York Minute to London Loop.
