How to use stickers in Mario Kart World

Funny weird karts, shiny costumes, and a cow aren’t the only tools Mario Kart Word gives you to show your personality. You can show everyone how cool – and good! – you are with cool stickers that you can unlock in the game.

Mario Kart World offers a multitude of options when it comes to stickers and each one can give that additional flavor you might want to add to your favorite character and kart. But if you have been hit by a rogue Green Shell and have no idea what to do with the stickers, don’t worry. Below, you will find a complete rundown on how to use stickers in Mario Kart World.

How to use stickers in Mario Kart World

Right from the initial screen in Mario Kart World, you can access the “Stickers” menu, which displays the ones you have already unlocked. Stickers work only as cosmetics you can add to your kart and profile, having no effect on your character or vehicle during a race. 

You can select only one sticker and change the sticker you’re using whenever you want by accessing the Stickers menu from the starting screen (the icon changes to the sticker you’re currently using) or in the kart selection screen (when in the latter, press the + button). 

When you select a sticker, it will appear in the corner of your character’s portrait (during online races as well) and on your vehicle. You can’t customize where the sticker is located on your kart or bike. On some vehicles, like the Biddybuggy, we couldn’t even see where the sticker was.

How to get more stickers in Mario Kart World

As you play the game and do all the things Mario Kart World allows you to do, you get more stickers. Since you unlock stickers by completing certain milestones in the game, they are great when it comes to sending a message to your competitors. You might want to let them know you’re an experienced player by using a sticker given only after driving a certain number of kilometers; or that style comes before speed with a sticker you got after landing 100 tricks. 

The best strategy to get more stickers and hit the right mood you want for a race is to play the game as much as you can, exploring all it has to offer. Play all the cups, grab all the coins. Eventually, you will have enough stickers to pick one to match your setup.
