Mario Kart World on Lichii
Mario Kart World released on 5 Jun 2025. People searching for a PC emulator usually want a yes or no. The honest catalog answer on 7 Nov 2026 is mixed: eight reports, a median of Playable, and a newest row of Playable.
The catalog Best result string is RX 9000 · Vulkan · Linux. That string and the older load crash are both true. I refuse to average them into "it runs".
The eight rows
Every one of those eight rows uses Vulkan. Six are build 93 and two are build 88. Playable shows up four times, Unplayable twice, plus one Loads and one Perfect. A median of Playable is a sorting result. It is not a promise that a race finishes.
| Result | Machine | Build | What the row says | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Playable | RTX 50, Windows 11 | 93 | Consistent with occasional hitches; 7 Nov 2026 | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Unplayable | Integrated GPU | 93 | Crash when loading | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Loads | Intel UHD | 88 | Textures missing, nothing rendered | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Perfect | RX 9000, Linux | 93 | Described as flawless at 30 fps | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Unplayable | RTX 50, Windows 11 | 93 | Playable stretches, then shader hitches; characters look metallic | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Playable | RTX 30, Windows 11 | 93 | About 17 fps | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Playable | i3-10100F, Linux | 88 | Feature-complete with occasional hitching | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
| Playable | RTX 30, Linux | 93 | Called good, no fps number | 1 public report · 7 Nov 2026 |
What the release notes changed
Build 70 moved the 30 fps mode and dynamic fps into Graphics > Advanced. Its notes mention an Apple M4 Pro race going from about 9.5 fps to 30–38 fps. That is one machine in one note. I do not copy it onto desktops.
Build 83 changed presentation pacing so the presenting process owns the frame. Build 93 does not list a Mario Kart specific repair. The 17 fps RTX 30 row, the integrated-GPU crash, and the shiny RTX 50 characters are all still in the build 93 window.
Issue 234 describes Grand Prix crashing while textures never load. Issue 21, closed, was a graphics-memory leak. Issue 113, closed, was a build 75 AMD and Linux performance regression. Closed issues do not erase the older Unplayable submissions.
Videos that are the wrong project
Benchmarks of Eglantine forks are not measurements of the official Lichii release. Compare the named project and build before using a video as evidence.
FAQ
Can Mario Kart World run on Lichii?
One Linux RX 9000 report says Perfect at 30 fps. The newest report says Playable on an RTX 50, while an older report records a load crash on an integrated GPU. Both are in the set of eight.
Is there a 60 fps setting?
I did not find a 60 fps result in these eight reports. Build 70 added a 30 fps mode.
Which graphics backend do the reports use?
All eight visible reports say Vulkan.
