Even Nintendo gave up on Mario Kart World.

There is zero evidence of this.

Creating new tracks/worlds for a Switch 2 level game takes time, whereas adding higher resolutions and 8-player support to a Switch1 game is relatively quick and cheap, this is just a little freebie to keep people happy while the main course cooks.

All the time spent working on Mario Kart World, yet they didn't bother giving Mario Kart World a good roster, just random enemies thrown in as drivers, and fewer battle modes.
