A creativeMario Kart Worldplayer made a custom manual and booklet, sharing the result online.Mario Kart Worldwas released on June 5 and was one of the first games available for the Nintendo Switch 2. The new entry in the popularMario Kartseries marks the beginning of a new era, with the game featuring more playable characters, brand-new modes, a different art style, and new features, such as routes and wall riding.
For years, printed manuals and booklets were a staple item in games. Titles from consoles such as the Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation 2 came with guides explaining aspects, such as controls and story, turning them into a collectible of sorts. However, over the years, these items have become less common, with games mainly adopting in-game tutorials. As a result, it is not uncommon to see people creating custom booklets, such as thefan who designed aSuper Mario 3D All-Starsmanual. This time, an inventiveMario Kart Worldplayer imagined what it would be like if the game had this same item.
On the Nintendo Switch subreddit, user RowanFN1 shared an incredible customMario Kart Worldmanual and booklet. The manual they created has 40 pages that explain various aspects of the game, such as controls, new techniques, andnew items inMario Kart World.

Other content included in the manual are statistics onMario Kart Worldcharacters and vehicles, showcasing the best combo according to the person’s playing style.
