What if you drove Mario Kart World 's tracks on Nintendo Switch 2... the other way around? Mirror mode, a feature of Nintendo's racing game, is one of the game's coolest easter eggs, but it doesn't unlock automatically... This mode, which reverses the tracks to offer a more demanding driving experience, requires the completion of a significant portion of the single-player content. But how do you unlock the mirror mode? You'll have to sandpaper the game for that.
For several days, speculation animated online discussions. Hypotheses abounded: beat all developer times, get all three stars in all cups... but none of them proved to be right. After several cross-checks between players, three clear conditions have now been established: finish in the top 3 of all championships, also finish in the top 3 of all rallies in Survival mode, and complete at least 50 objectives in Walk mode - with a minimum of 10 Peach medals, 10 "?" signs and 30 to 40 P missions. When we say you'll have to sand the game...
Once these conditions have been met, it is also necessary to replay the special cup. A new cinematic concludes the effort, signalling that mirror mode is now accessible. The latter can then be activated in the race parameters of the free mode, without any further manipulation. This is endgame content for players who have explored almost the entire game.
Finally, a discreet easter egg allows you to change the orientation of the world in Walk mode. Climb onto the roof of Peach's castle to reach the central stained-glass window and enter, Super Mario 64-style. The effect is purely aesthetic, but a welcome wink. It doesn't change the gameplay, but contributes to the game's identity. Now you know everything... Good luck, and to your Joy-Cons!
