To unlock new vehicles in Mario Kart World, players will need to collect coins. For every hundred they collect, they'll unlock a random kart, with 3,000 coins needed to unlock every vehicle. Players will accumulate coins gradually simply by playing the game, but for those who want to unlock everything right away, there's a way they can farm 3,000 coins in under one hour.
Mario Kart World: How to Unlock All Characters
Mario Kart World has 18 unlockable characters to play as, and here's how to get them all.
The method in question could be seen as an exploit, meaning there's a very good chance that it will be patched out of the game pretty quickly. With that in mind, those hoping to take advantage of it should do so right away, as this is by far the best coin farming method in Mario Kart World and the easiest way to get all 30 unlockable karts quickly and without having to complete any races.
How to Do the Mario Kart World Coin Farming Glitch
To perform this Mario Kart World coin farming exploit, players should enter the game's free roam mode and start driving around. They'll want to stick to roads and look out for a car with three coins trailing behind it. They're fairly common, so it shouldn't take more than a minute or two to find one. Busier roads are obviously better here, although players should avoid roads with boost pads on them, for reasons that will become obvious momentarily.
After finding a coin car, players will simply need to drive behind it while weaving from left to right. The coins behind these cards will respawn infinitely, provided their hitboxes aren't being obstructed, meaning players can keep collecting them for as long as they like. If they're lucky, the car that they're following will eventually be forced to stop due to an obstruction, at which point, they can simply drive back and forwards, collecting coins at a rate of around 120 coins per minute.
After reaching a thousand coins, they'll no longer receive notifications for every hundred they collect, but new coins are still being counted, and new karts will be unlocked when they exit free roam mode. Although the method can be a little tedious, it's best to take advantage of it right away, as there's really no telling if and when Nintendo will decide to patch it. The Big N was pretty strict with Tears of the Kingdom duplication glitches, though, so our money's on this exploit being removed sooner rather than later.
