Mario Kart World Mirror Mode Explained
Image via: Nintendo If you feel you have conquered all the curves, drifts and shortcuts of Mario Kart World, then get ready to see them flipped upside down like hand standing down stairs. This fan-favorite challenge turns everything, literally upside down, sending even the most experienced racers into a tailspin. Far from being some gimmicky other world experience, Mirror Mode is a brutal gauntlet of muscle memory, flexibility and reflexes that function in a high speed environment. A Unfamiliar World, Upside Down Mirror Mode isn't exactly a new feature to the Mario Kart franchise. Originally debuted in Mario Kart 64, the plugin has returned in almost every game since Double Dash!! Its introduction into the arena of Mario Kart World comes with new wrinkles and added layers of complexity. Instead of making the game faster, similar to the introduction of 150cc from 100cc, Mirror Mode takes the existing tracks and mirrors them horizontally—left becomes right, right becomes left. Each circuit configuration is flipped, and even muscle memory turns into your foe. How to unlock Mirror Mode in Mario Kart World? How to Access Mirror Mode Gaining access to Mirror Mode is not an easy task. Read on to learn about our recent initiatives and at a minimum, what you'll need to implement them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Always Put a Plastic Bottle on Your Tires when Parked, Here's Why Cleverst Undo P Switch Missions , found all over the game's huge free roam areas.

Many players have even said they need to fulfill extra requirements, such as unlocking other characters, obtaining a certain number of Peach Medallions, or achieving three stars on all Knockout Tour courses, so you should assume the requirements are cumulative. Mirror Mode, which inverts tracks to create a new challenge, is the game's method of rewarding completionists and serious racers. Modes Supported by Mirror Madness Once unlocked, Mirror Mode isn't just for Grand Prix. It seeps into almost every game mode, too: Selectable during engine class selection. Provides players with a new way to earn 5-star rankings, independent of old-school 150cc course progression. With the very portal we made our way through Peach's Kingdom, as one example, walk into one of these rainbow reflective portals to trigger a mirrored version of the free-roaming open world. A mirrored version of this already harsh mode doubles down on the difficulty. Each race in Mirror Mode counts toward your cumulative star rank, though. Looking to troll your friends? Private matches allow you to toggle Mirror Mode as well, even in casual settings. Top 10 Tips to Help You Win in Mario Kart World What makes Mirror Mode more than just a novelty is the way it challenges players to relearn tracks they knew by souled-out heart. It evens the competitive playing field and brings back the excitement of unpredictability. It's not even about raw pace. It's about knowing what's around you, adapting on the fly and being able to relearn muscle memory ingrained from hundreds of F1 races run. Mario Kart World's Mirror Mode isn't simply a copycat version of the game's tracks, it's a turned around reflection of your talents. Mirror Mode tells you that sometimes, everything you think is backward.
