If you're a Mario Kart World fan with an eye for style, there's a whole wardrobe of alternate outfits and costumes waiting to be unlocked. Whether you want to see Mario dressed as a mechanic or Peach rocking her sightseeing fit, unlocking every outfit is one of the most fun meta-goals in the game. This guide covers everything you need to know to unlock all character outfits in Mario Kart World and how to do it efficiently.

How to Unlock Costumes in Mario Kart World

To unlock a costume, you must:

1. Play as the character you want to unlock outfits for.
2. Locate a Yoshi restaurant on the map during Free Roam.
3. Eat the “Dash Food” available at that restaurant.

Each food type corresponds to a specific outfit. For example, eating a hamburger might unlock the Touring outfit, while a donut could unlock an All-Terrain look. Some characters share foods (and thus outfits), so optimizing your character swaps will save a ton of time.

Where Are the Yoshi Restaurants?

Yoshi restaurants in Mario Kart World are cleverly placed across various maps and are often themed around specific foods. One of the most notable is in Desert Hills, where you can find the purple Yoshi restaurant serving curry with naan, just drive straight from the starting point and make the first left turn. Another Yoshi-themed spot appears in Dino Dino Jungle, featuring a green Yoshi restaurant that offers a roast dish. To reach it, drive forward a bit from the start and turn right. These locations not only add charm to the game’s world-building but also help guide players toward unique character outfits tied to each food stand.

Mario Kart World adds a fun and flavorful twist to racing with these unlockable costumes literally. Just follow your stomach, collect those foods, and suit up your racers in style.
