Mario Kart World is now officially in the hands of Switch 2 owners around the globe, and with this in mind, Nintendo has today announced its new ‘Invitational 2025 tournament’.
This event will be taking place at Nintendo Live 2025 Tokyo later this year between 4th and 5th October. Nintendo hasn’t shared any other details just yet, but more will be revealed “in the future”. This information comes from Nintendo’s Australia and New Zealand social media account:

You might recall how Nintendo Live Tokyo was actually cancelled last year after Nintendo cited safety concerns. A suspect was eventually arrested and the Splatoon and Mario Kart championships got rescheduled, with an event instead taking place in Sydney, Australia.

Exactly how does one get an invite to these things anyway? I always thought I could hold my own in a one of the Splatoon invitationals but never really found out how one gets invited.
And I would have gotten away with it too. If it weren’t for those meddling kids and their dumb houndoom.
Again, what’s with the graphic design? To be fair, it’s only a subheading from a twitter post, but come onnnnn that logo is horrible
I’m excited to see the insane tricks and shortcuts that people might show off at this invitational!
Interesting. I’ll be in Kansai at that time haha.
