How we decided on Mario Kart World

Our safety checks

Mario Kart World passes all 7 safety checks. We apply the same strict rules to every app and game.

1. Could we confirm every fact?

   ✓ Yes

   Every fact below links to its source. Rule 1

2. Is your child old enough for the official ratings?

   ✓ Yes

   Rated 3+ by PEGI (UK & Europe). Our minimum age is 3. Rule 2

3. Can you stop strangers contacting your child?

   ✓ Yes

   There’s no typed chat. Nintendo’s voice and video chat is off for under-16s until a parent sets it up, and then only works with friends the parent has approved. Rule 3Source

4. Is every risk under control once settings are on?

   ✓ Yes

   No risk stays high once every control is on. Rule 4

5. Is its child-safety record clear?

   ✓ Yes

   We searched for regulator, government and court action over child safety against Nintendo in October 2026 and found none. Rule 5

6. Can you stop all spending?

   ✓ Yes

   There are no in-game purchases. Online play needs a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, and parents can restrict all Nintendo eShop spending. Rule 6Source

7. Is everything checked before children see it?

   ✓ Yes

   Every track, character and item is made by Nintendo. Players can set up custom races from Nintendo’s courses, but can’t publish their own content. Rule 7Source
