Nintendo Issues Statement On Mario Kart World AI Image Speculation

Mario Kart World does not include AI-generated images, according to a new statement from Nintendo.

Some fans speculated the Switch 2 launch title might include AI images based on footage shown during a recent Nintendo Treehouse livestream, where certain odd billboards set off a few AI alarm bells. In a statement to Eurogamer, Nintendo looked to put the speculation to rest.

"AI-generated images were not used in the development of Mario Kart World," a Nintendo spokesperson said.
