Mario Kart World's Free Roam mode is home to multiple ? Panels, all of which are tucked away in the game's many courses. In this guide, we'll be showing you where to find every single ? Panel in the game, and how to get them.

Location: If you drive around the course as normal, as you approach the starting line again, slow down and you'll spot a small yellow stand with a star on it, which is where the panel is located.

Panel 2

Sky-High Sundae 2 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Drop to the bottom of the course and this panel is on a small brown mound among the pink ice cream floor.

Panel 3

Sky-High Sundae 3 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Drive around the course normally and you'll reach a branching path where straight ahead is a speed ramp, and right is a waffle road. Take that yellow waffle road but take a sharp right through some striped barriers to go up a chocolate waffle path, which is home to a panel.

Panel 4

Sky-High Sundae 4 Panel

Location: Use the jump boost at the start as normal, but instead of going straight ahead, go left behind the Toadette sign. Then use the grind rail to time a jim to the left to a yellow platform where the panel sits.

Panel 5

Sky-High Sundae 5 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: After the flying section of the course, follow the road until you reach a section that splits into two separate yellow and green roads. Hop onto the rail on the green, then jump to reach a warp pipe. Then you'll be brought to an area with strawberries, and a panel.

Starview Peak Question Panels

Number of panels: 5

Collectibles region: Snow

Panel 1

Starview Peak 1 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: After fast-travelling here, follow the red road and take the right path. As you get to the end of the slope, take a slight left to a flat gold floor to find the panel.

Panel 2

Starview Peak 2 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: If you're approaching from the outside of the course, then you'll see this as you fly up on the left. If you're coming from the course itself, drive outside and follow the outer icy path on the right to get this panel.

Panel 3

Starview Peak 3 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: This one is in the downstairs lobby area, where all the tables and bookshelves are. You'll see it hiding behind two benches where there's a relaxing Shy Guy. Good for him!

Panel 4

Starview Peak 4 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: The final two panels are pretty hidden! You'll want to race through the course as normal, then when you reach the second yellow and blue bend, drop off the left side of the track to a green area with a globe in the centre (and a Peach Medallion on it). The panel is hiding in plain sight here.

Panel 5

Starview Peak 5 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: If you follow the steps for Panel 4, you're basically already here. All you need to do is go through the pipe on this floor, and you'll be taken to the roof of the observatorium. You'll see some Luma ahead, and in the middle is the final panel.

Toad's Factory Question Panels

Number of panels: 5

Collectibles region: Lava

Panel 1

Toad's Factory 1 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Go left from the starting line towards a Yoshi's drive-thru. Behind the diner is a ramp, but don't go up it. Look at the wall and you'll find a panel just past the drive-thru. Time to wall ride!

Panel 2

Toad's Factory 3 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Head towards the yellow bulldozers to the right of the starting line, and drive around to behind the row on the left. Underneath the middle construction vehicle is the next panel.

Panel 3

Toad's Factory 4 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: This one's very easy; head up to the metal dome and drive up the stairs. Underneath the dome, you'll find this panel.

Panel 4

Toad's Factory 2 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Once again, this one is by the metal dome, but you just need to drive around it to the roof of the neighbouring building.

Panel 5

Toad's Factory 5 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: It's back to the Yoshi's cart again, but you want to head up the stairs behind the blue dinosaur this time, to an orange roof. This panel is right ahead of you.

Wario Stadium Question Panels

Number of panels: 5

Collectibles region: Wild West

Panel 1

Wario Stadium 1 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Head to the course's entrance form the start line (you'll need to turn around) but instead of leaving, head up the left ramp to find a panel.

Panel 2

Wario Stadium 2 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: As you drive through the course normally, look to the right where you'll see a faded Grrrol Metal sign and a panel in the bottom-right corner. To get it, you'll want to drive up the right side of the course and trick off of the mound of dirt to wall ride into it.

Panel 3

Wario Stadium 3 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: This is very tricky to get. Basically, you'll want to head to the centre of the course — you can do this by going directly left through a hole in the wall from a start line. You'll see another panel on a Grrrol Metal sign. Use the crane closest it to grind towards it, then trick and wall ride into it. We had to use a feather to get this one!

Panel 4

Wario Stadium 4 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: At the starting line, turn around and race to the giant booster ramp on the course. Use it to land on the platform to the left of the ramp, and then grind up to a higher spot on the roof. Look down the hole here for the panel.

Panel 5

Wario Stadium 5 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Continue to race along the rooftops of Wario Stadium until you reach a halfpipe at the very top of the course. The Panel is on the left side of the pipe — a nice easy one to end this course on!

Wario's Shipyard (Galleon) Question Panels

Number of panels: 5

Collectibles region: Coastal

Panel 1

Wario's Shipyard 1 Panel

Panel 2

Wario's Shipyard 2 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: This panel is situated inside a fortress, which you'll either need to use ropes to grind to or approach from the sandbanks at the centre of the course.

Panel 3

Wario's Shipyard 3 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: On the ship where the cannon will shoot you out, drive straight past it and continue around the boat to reach the panel.

Panel 4

Wario's Shipyard 4 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Use the ropes around the course to grind over to a panel next to a small ramp, just above the quarter-pipe bend.

Panel 1

Whistlestop Summit 1 Panel

Location: At the very start of the course, head right past the P Switch and over the first red ramp. Stop, turn around, and you'll see the panel.

Panel 2

Whistlestop Summit 2 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Take a right at the start line past the P Switch and glide over to the huge mountain on the other side. Follow the road up to the right and keep going to the very top of the summit. The panel will be just past the Yoshi's food stand.

Panel 3

Whistlestop Summit 3 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Race through the course normally until you reach the final bend of the track. Here, you want to go behind the building, and you'll see a food cart and some characters taking a little nap on a bench. This panel is right in front of the parking spaces here.

Panel 4

Whistlestop Summit 4 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Head to the underpass as you drive through the course normally, and then take a hard right to go up the stairs to reach the roof of the railway station, where you'll find the next panel.

Panel 5

Whistlestop Summit 5 Panel
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: On the huge mountain, drive up the road until you reach a tunnel. Go through that tunnel and, as you emerge from the other side, you'll see a panel right before a booster jump pad.

What are ? Panels for?

? Panels are essentially collectibles like Peach Medallions. They challenge you to make the most of Mario Kart World's new tricks and physics, including Wall Riding, Grinding, and gliding.

You can only collect them in Free Roam mode, just like the other collectibles, but you can team up with a friend and hunt them down together for fun.

What do you unlock for finding them?

Each ? Panel rewards you with a new sticker for your vehicle. Not an amazing reward by any stretch, but there are lots of cute ones!

We don't know whether you get a final reward after getting all 150, so we'll let you know!

? Panels are also required to Mirror Mode. You'll have to hit at least 10 of these, and they're much easier to deal with than Switches and Medallions.
