Are Mario Kart World servers down? How to check server status
Mario Kart World is full of laughs and rage, but sometimes, the only thing that can stop the good (and angering) times are server outages. If the Mario Kart World servers are down, you can't win any races. You also can't get hit by a blue shell at the finish line and lose any races either, but the good comes with the bad. If there are server problems, Lakitu isn't letting anyone on any tracks, so you might be out of luck. Here's how to check Mario Kart World's server status to see if the game is having issues with online connectivity.

Otherwise, check something like DownDetector for Nintendo Switch Online to see if people are reporting outages. If the servers are down, the game will often give Error Code: 2321-4608 when trying to play anything in online multiplayer for Nintendo Switch Online. This means that there are connection issues with the game servers, and you likely won't be able to connect. If this is the case, there's likely not much you can do as it's a server-side issue. If you think the problem with connecting to Mario Kart World or Nintendo Switch Online might be on your end, try resetting your internet connection, restarting your Nintendo Switch 2, or closing and re-opening Mario Kart World to see if you keep getting the problem. It's always worth checking social media like X/Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram to see if others are having the same issue as you. If the problem persists, it's likely a widespread issue and there's nothing you can really do besides wait it out. We suggest playing some Grand Prix or other singleplayer or offline multiplayer modes in the meantime until the servers come back and you can continue attempting to grab wins in Knockout Tour and other online modes.
