The recent reveal of the Switch 2 alongside Mario Kart World has sparked a mix of excitement and controversy among fans. Following the launch of the new game, discussions emerged not only about pricing concerns but also about elements seen in the trailers.

The debut trailer received a warm reception, but a later showing during a livestream event on Nintendo Treehouse prompted further debate. Observers noted that several background posters appeared as if they were created through artificial methods and remained unfinished. This observation led to concerns that some of the creative work may have been sourced externally.

The discussion points raised by the community include:

  • Noticed background artwork resembling computer-generated visuals
  • Speculation regarding the origin of in-game content
  • Debate over the integrity of the design process

Nintendo has clarified that all creative assets for Mario Kart World were developed internally, asserting that automated image creation techniques played no role in the process. Views on the artwork featured in the trailer continue to circulate among enthusiasts.
