It turns out Mario Kart World‘s NPCs are basically playing their own game of Grand Theft Mario.
A video shared on social media by Supper Mario Broth explains how NPCs can actually steal a car belonging to another character.
Specifically, the video shows a green Shy Guy parking a vehicle and walking away. A Toad NPC then saunters up to the vehicle, jumps inside, and drives off, leaving the oblivious Shy Guy plodding down the road. Incredible!
Supper Mario Broth explained there are a few scenarios for the Shy Guy after this: the NPC will either keep walking until the player leaves and they despawn; they’ll enter a building to despawn; or they’ll steal a car themselves.
As much as Mario Kart World is full of these little details designed to make its open world feel alive, jacking cars seems very un-Nintendo for such a family-friendly game. Children, avert your eyes!
Have you spotted NPCs stealing cars in Mario Kart World?
