A '''route'''<ref>"''In Time Trials you race alone to set your fastest times. VS Race lets you choose among 202 routes to race on and add customized rules–such as the number of races, conventional laps instead of interconnected courses, the ability to add teams, and more.''" – Nintendo Switch news</ref> in ''[[Mario Kart World]]'' is a specific kind of road that connects two separate, often distant, race courses via long stretches of road. A total of 202 routes exist. They are the main roads driven on in the Grand Prix (where the first sections are the path to the destination course, with the final section being the destination course itself) and Knockout Tour and often feature obstacles such as [[car (obstacle)|car]]s, animals, and various enemies like [[Goomba]]s, [[Chargin' Chuck]]s, and [[Treaded Grrrol]]s. If a race begins with a route, racers will uniquely begin to slowly drive forward in a {{wp|rolling start}} before and during the starting countdown, accelerating to full speed after "GO!" While the music on these routes is different from the standard race tracks, once the finish line of the next course is approaching, the music will dynamically play a prelude of that course's music before fully changing to it.

Routes span almost the entire map and take various forms, such as highways, mountain ranges, or railroad tracks. Many of the [[Battle]] courses are integrated into certain routes. In VS Race, selecting a course opens a menu where the first option is to race on the course in the traditional lap-based way, while the remaining options are to use the course as a route to a nearby track. [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart World)|Rainbow Road]] has no routes coming from it, and only one route toward it. Unlike previous courses having a set skybox, each course except for Rainbow Road has four different skyboxes for sunrise, daytime, sunset, and nighttime, which may progress when driving through either routes or laps.

[[Yoshi's]] drive-throughs appear most frequently on routes. Certain routes pass by a third track; for example, routes between Moo Moo Meadows and DK Pass both ways pass through Dandelion Depths.

==Overview==
Of the 202 total routes, 10 of them only go in one direction:
*The [[Special Cup]] routes of [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]] to [[Peach Stadium]] and Peach Stadium to [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart World)|Rainbow Road]].
*[[Sky-High Sundae]] to either [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] or [[Salty Salty Speedway]].
*[[DK Spaceport]] to either Peach Stadium, [[Desert Hills]], or [[Mario Bros. Circuit]].
*Either Desert Hills, [[Whistlestop Summit]], or [[Great ? Block Ruins]] to [[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]].

24 routes are used in Grand Prix. 38 further routes are used in Knockout Tour [[rally (event)|rallies]] (with [[Dandelion Depths]] to [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] used in two rallies, and Mario Bros. Circuit to Crown City being used in both Grand Prix and Knockout Tour), though many routes in Knockout Tour significantly differ from their VS Race counterparts. The remaining 140 routes are exclusive to VS Race.

Three pairs of routes are used in both directions in different Knockout Tours: [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] and [[Airship Fortress]], [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] and [[Peach Stadium]], and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]] and [[Moo Moo Meadows]]. Eight pairs of routes are used in opposite directions in Knockout Tour compared to Grand Prix: [[Acorn Heights]] and Mario Circuit, [[DK Spaceport]] and [[Whistlestop Summit]], [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]] and [[Toad's Factory]], [[Choco Mountain]] and Moo Moo Meadows, [[Crown City]] and [[Faraway Oasis]], Crown City and Peach Stadium, [[DK Pass]] and [[Starview Peak]], and [[Peach Beach]] and [[Salty Salty Speedway]]. This makes 85 pairs of routes in either direction, as well as 8 of the 10 one-way routes, exclusive to VS. Race.

|caption2=The routes between [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] and [[Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64)|Wario Stadium]] are among a few instances where a route is completely different from its opposite-direction counterpart.
}}

Of the 192 routes that are not one-way, many use a similar pathway to one going in the opposite direction; for example, the route of Mario Bros. Circuit to Crown City uses a similar path as Crown City to Mario Bros. Circuit. However, there are 22 pairs (44 routes) of exceptions where the opposite-direction paths are completely different from one another:
*[[Crown City]] and [[Whistlestop Summit]]
*[[Crown City]] and [[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]]
*[[DK Spaceport]] and [[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]]
*[[Shy Guy Bazaar]] and [[Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64)|Wario Stadium]]
*[[Airship Fortress]] and [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]]
*[[DK Pass]] and [[Starview Peak]]
*[[DK Pass]] and [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]]
*[[Starview Peak]] and [[Wario Shipyard]]
*[[Starview Peak]] and [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]]
*[[Sky-High Sundae]] and [[Wario Shipyard]]
*[[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]] and [[Faraway Oasis]]
*[[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]] and [[Peach Stadium]]
*[[Faraway Oasis]] and [[Salty Salty Speedway]]
*[[Faraway Oasis]] and [[Great ? Block Ruins]]
*[[Salty Salty Speedway]] and [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]]
*[[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] and [[Dandelion Depths]]
*[[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] and [[Moo Moo Meadows]]
*[[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] and [[Choco Mountain]]
*[[Dry Bones Burnout]] and [[Moo Moo Meadows]]
*[[Dry Bones Burnout]] and [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]]
*[[Moo Moo Meadows]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]]
*[[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]]

Dividing the 148 two-way routes that are identical to their opposite-direction counterparts comes to 74 repeated pathways. Adding the 10 one-way routes and the 44 routes that are completely different from their opposite-direction counterparts adds up to 128 unique pathways in the game.

The majority of routes show three sections, with the first two sections being the actual route and the third section being the destination course, with the following exceptions:
*The following 28 pairs of two-way routes (56 routes in total) have four sections in both directions:
**[[Crown City]] and [[Faraway Oasis]]
**[[Crown City]] and [[Desert Hills]]
**[[Crown City]] and [[Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64)|Wario Stadium]]
**[[Airship Fortress]] and [[Toad's Factory]]
**[[Airship Fortress]] and [[Dry Bones Burnout]]
**[[Starview Peak]] and [[Wario Shipyard]]
**[[Starview Peak]] and [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]]
**[[Starview Peak]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]]
**[[Starview Peak]] and [[Boo Cinema]]
**[[Dino Dino Jungle]] and [[Salty Salty Speedway]]
**[[Dino Dino Jungle]] and [[Peach Beach]]
**[[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] and [[Choco Mountain]]
**[[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]] and [[Wario Shipyard]]
**[[Dandelion Depths]] and [[Sky-High Sundae]]
**[[Dandelion Depths]] and [[Toad's Factory]]
**[[Dandelion Depths]] and [[Acorn Heights]]
**[[Dry Bones Burnout]] and [[Boo Cinema]]
**[[Dry Bones Burnout]] and [[Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64)|Wario Stadium]]
**[[Dry Bones Burnout]] and [[Moo Moo Meadows]]
**[[Moo Moo Meadows]] and [[DK Pass]]
**[[Moo Moo Meadows]] and [[Crown City]]
**[[Choco Mountain]] and [[Whistlestop Summit]]
**[[Choco Mountain]] and [[Shy Guy Bazaar]]

**[[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]] and [[Choco Mountain]]
**[[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]]
*All 10 one-way routes are either four or five sections.
**Both DK Spaceport's and Mario Circuit's routes to Peach Stadium are both five sections.
**Desert Hills to Koopa Troopa Beach shows six sections, four for the main route and two laps of Koopa Troopa Beach. Great ? Block Ruins and Whistlestop Summit's routes to Koopa Troopa Beach show five sections, three for the main route and two laps of Koopa Troopa Beach.
**Peach Stadium to Rainbow Road shows five sections, though only one section (rather than the usual two) is used for the actual route; the other four sections exist on Rainbow Road normally. Unlike other routes, Rainbow Road is not shown on the minimap until reaching it, due to being separate from the rest of the world. Playing in split-screen shows Rainbow Road's minimap abruptly appearing in place of the route's minimap.
**The other 4 one-way routes (DK Spaceport's routes to both Desert Hills and Mario Bros. Circuit and Sky-High Sundae's routes to both Cheep Cheep Falls and Salty Salty Speedway) are all four sections.
*Acorn Heights to Mario Circuit shows five sections, as it is the only route that takes racers to all three Mario Circuit sections. Mario Circuit to Acorn Heights is the normal three sections.
*All three routes leading to DK Spaceport show eight sections, due to DK Spaceport itself having six sections. Routes leading from DK Spaceport that are not one-way are the normal three sections.
*Most routes leading to Peach Beach show four sections, due to routes taking racers to both sections 2 and 3 of Peach Beach. Routes from Peach Beach are the normal three sections, except the route to Dino Dino Jungle, which shows four sections. Due to these factors, Dino Dino Jungle to Peach Beach shows five sections.
*All routes to Koopa Troopa Beach that are not one-way show four sections due to two laps being done on Koopa Troopa Beach.

Most courses can have significant alterations when taken via certain routes:
*[[Crown City]] and [[Peach Stadium]], which have two layouts in Grand Prix, will have each route take one variant. Peach Stadium's Shell Cup section can be mirrored depending on the route. Without routes, Crown City combines its Grand Prix layouts—with its Shell Cup and third layouts being significantly cut, and the former being driven in reverse—while Peach Stadium exclusively uses its Special Cup layout.
*A second [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] layout featuring a palace and a third Crown City layout featuring a water segment are exclusively used during certain routes, and are completely unavailable without routes.
*All routes leading to [[Peach Beach]] and most routes leading to [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart World)|Mario Circuit]] only drive on specific sections rather than the full course.
*[[Mario Bros. Circuit]], [[Desert Hills]], [[Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64)|Wario Stadium]], [[DK Pass]], [[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]], and [[Moo Moo Meadows]] are driven in reverse during certain routes. The minimap is flipped upside down and ramps are adjusted to account for the reverse direction.
*After the 1.4.0 update, all routes to Koopa Troopa Beach now do two laps of it rather than one.
*Certain routes to Crown City's Shell Cup variant, Peach Stadium, [[Dino Dino Jungle]], [[Dry Bones Burnout]], [[Choco Mountain]], and [[Toad's Factory]] skip the beginning of the track in favor of unique entrances, and may block off the portion of the track that was skipped. 
*16 entrances to the following 15 tracks—Mario Bros. Circuit, [[Whistlestop Summit]], Wario Stadium, [[Airship Fortress]], [[Wario Shipyard]], [[Faraway Oasis]], Peach Beach, two entrances into [[Salty Salty Speedway]], [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]], [[Dandelion Depths]], Dry Bones Burnout, Moo Moo Meadows, Choco Mountain, Toad's Factory, and [[Acorn Heights]]—enter the track near the center of the race course, often from normally inaccessible areas, while still being a full lap.

[[DK Spaceport]], [[Starview Peak]], [[Sky-High Sundae]], [[Great ? Block Ruins]], [[Boo Cinema]], [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]], and [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart World)|Rainbow Road]] are the only courses that do not change depending on the route. All of these except Rainbow Road are at the edge of the map.

Routes used in Grand Prix are in '''bold'''. Routes that are labeled in Knockout Tour are in ''italics'', though the Knockout Tour route may significantly differ from its VS Race counterpart. Routes that are more than 3 sections for any reason other than the destination course having multiple sections utilized will be marked with an asterisk (*). Routes that are completely different from their counterparts in the opposite direction will be marked with a caret (^).

==Non-race course locations==
The four [[Battle]] courses in the bottom row ([[Chain Chomp Desert]], [[DK Pass]], [[Big Donut]], and [[Dino Dino Jungle]]) take place on routes between race courses, despite DK Pass and Dino Dino Jungle being directly named after race courses. 
*Chain Chomp Desert is located north of [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] and driven through in routes in both directions from [[Airship Fortress]]. [[Wario Stadium (Mario Kart 64)|Wario Stadium]] to Shy Guy Bazaar drives through Chain Chomp Desert, though Shy Guy Bazaar to Wario Stadium does not.
*Big Donut is located directly south of [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart World)|Bowser's Castle]]. Routes between Bowser's Castle and [[Toad's Factory]], [[Choco Mountain]], or Wario Stadium travel through Big Donut. Many other routes use this battle course as a roundabout but do not allow racers to drive on the entirety of the area, namely both routes between Wario Stadium and [[Dry Bones Burnout]], both routes between Airship Fortress and Toad's Factory, as well as every other route starting from Bowser's Castle (specifically toward Mario Circuit, Dry Bones Burnout, and Airship Fortress), though not their reverse counterparts.
*DK Pass is located between its racing counterpart and [[Starview Peak]], and is traversed in routes between the two or between the latter and [[Cheep Cheep Falls (race course)|Cheep Cheep Falls]]. In both cases, significantly less of the battle course is driven through in routes leading to Starview Peak whereas routes leading from Starview Peak feature the battle course in its entirety. Parts of the course are also driven through on both routes between [[Sky-High Sundae]] and [[Dandelion Depths]] and on the route from [[Wario Shipyard]] to Starview Peak. Finally, the Knockout Tour version of the route from Starview Peak to Dandelion Depths, used in the [[Ice Rally]], traverses this course, though its VS counterpart does not.
*Dino Dino Jungle is driven through via routes between its racing counterpart and [[Faraway Oasis]], [[Peach Beach]] (including the [[Cherry Rally]] version), or [[Salty Salty Speedway]].

The seven SNES tribute courses that are only able to be fully raced on through certain missions are located on routes near four of the main tracks, and are partially driven through via certain routes. 
*[[Vanilla Lake 1|Vanilla Lake]] (specifically Vanilla Lake 1, though it is not referred to by its number) is located south of Sky-High Sundae, and driven through on both routes between it and Wario Shipyard, as well as from Sky-High Sundae to Cheep Cheep Falls and Salty Salty Speedway, and from Wario Shipyard to Starview Peak.
*[[Koopa Beach 1]] is located west of [[Koopa Troopa Beach (Super Mario Kart)|Koopa Troopa Beach]], and is used for routes between it and either [[Crown City]] or [[DK Spaceport]]. It is also used for the one-way routes from either [[Whistlestop Summit]] or [[Desert Hills]] to Koopa Troopa Beach, and the one from DK Spaceport to [[Peach Stadium]].
*The two Choco Islands are located south of [[Choco Mountain]]. [[Choco Island 1]] is southeast of Choco Mountain and driven through in routes between it and Crown City, Peach Stadium, Cheep Cheep Falls or [[Moo Moo Meadows]]. [[Choco Island 2]] is southwest of Choco Mountain, driven through in routes between it and [[Mario Bros. Circuit]], Whistlestop Summit, or Shy Guy Bazaar.
*The three Ghost Valleys are located south of [[Boo Cinema]]. [[Ghost Valley 1]] is in the middle and at least partially driven through in every route to and from Boo Cinema. [[Ghost Valley 2]] is on the left and driven through in routes between Boo Cinema and either Dry Bones Burnout or [[Acorn Heights]], while [[Ghost Valley 3]] is on the right and driven through in routes between Boo Cinema and Starview Peak.

==Music==
The music that plays on Grand Prix routes is randomly chosen from a selection of tracks per route, generally fitting the theme of either the source or the destination. These tracks do not loop; if the player spends enough time on a route for the music track to end, another track will begin playing, unless the player is close enough to the destination course which will cause the prelude variant to begin playing. The only exception is the route from [[Peach Stadium]] to [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart World)|Rainbow Road]], which plays Rainbow Road's prelude variant from the beginning. In VS Race, the music that plays is completely random from its own list of possibilities, and will not always match the setting of the route or the music selected for the same route in Grand Prix. In addition to the music tracks used for the Grand Prix routes, other arrangements can also play on VS Race routes: While most of the listed themes can play on any route from any track, some themes are exclusive to or more likely to play on specific tracks or times of the day.

|}

Upon approaching the destination course, the route music fades out and a prelude variant of the destination course's music begins. The prelude variants share the same name as the main course in the pause menu, with the exception of Rainbow Road's, which is titled "To Rainbow Road". Once the arrival lap starts, the music changes to the course. Some tracks feature small transitions from the prelude to the main track, which can consist of drumfills or bridges, such tracks are Crown City, Whistlestop Summit, Desert Hills, Airship Fortress, DK Pass, Sky-High Sundae, Wario Shipyard, Koopa Troopa Beach, Faraway Oasis, Dino Dino Jungle, Cheep Cheep Falls, Dandelion Depths, Dry Bones Burnout, Moo Moo Meadows, Choco Mountain, Toad's Factory, Bowser's Castle, Peach Stadium and Rainbow Road. Dino Dino Jungle uniquely skips the intro part of the main track and transitions directly into the beginning of the loop. Toad's Factory's transition consists of the longer intro that in ''Mario Kart Wii'' played only when players left the factory.

In Knockout Tour, approaching one course causes the music of the previous course to transition into a {{wp|coda (music)|coda}} and end, followed immediately by the approaching course's music beginning with its "route" variant. The only courses without a coda are Wario Shipyard, Acorn Heights, Great ? Block Ruins, and Rainbow Road, as the first three only appear at the end of rallies, while the last is unavailable in Knockout Tour. Several courses also use more than one coda, which plays depending on which part of the song it is at when racers reach the next checkpoint; Mario Bros. Circuit, Airship Fortress, Peach Stadium and Boo Cinema have four; Faraway Oasis and Bowser's Castle have three; Whistlestop Summit and Mario Circuit have two; and the rest have only one.
