You can also use it to get to higher platforms and outrun your rivals in Mario Kart World. In a game like Mario Kart, there is always a chance of getting stuck in the wrong area. The new Rewind trick can help you retrace your steps to a previous position and start again.
Rewind
You can simply use Rewind when you find yourself in a tricky situation. Doing so will take you back to a previous location from a few seconds ago. However, your opponents in the game remain unaffected by this trick. So, it's not time that is being rewound, it is merely you and your position in the game.
This also implies you could end up losing your position in the race once you use Rewind. So it is best to use it carefully and cautiously.
These are the only two tricks introduced in the recent Mario Kart World Direct livestream on April 17, 2025. Nintendo may announce newer features in the future.
