Ahead of MAR10 Day later this month, Nintendo may have teased a new update for the Battle mode in Mario Kart World<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a now-removed post<\/a> about ‘Mario Day’ events for World, a screenshot shows an updated Battle mode icon featuring a Bob-omb. World currently includes Balloon Battle and Coin Runners, and the return of Bob-omb Blast wouldn’t be a surprise, as it’s been a staple of the series for years now.<\/p>\n

The current Battle mode icon for Mario Kart World shows a balloon and a coin. Of course, right now, there hasn’t been any official announcement about additional Battle modes coming to Mario Kart on Switch 2, so we’ll let you know if we hear any significant updates.<\/p>\n

Apart from this discovery, Nintendo has this week announced a game sale for Mario Day and additional Mario games for its Switch Online retro library.<\/p>\n
