Mario Kart World Forest P Switch Guide
Image: Nintendo Life

We're going deep into the woods in Mario Kart World; home to an elective mix of courses, towering trees, beautiful brookes, and a... movie theatre? Okay, sure, we'll take it. But maybe not the poisonous swamp surrounding it...

If you're looking for collectibles surrounding Acorn Heights, Boo Cinema, and Mario Circuit, then you can find those P Switch Missions and Peach Medallions below. But if you want to drive to other pastures, then our hubs for the big blue buttons and pretty Peach coins are where you need to be.

P Switch Missions - Forest

Forest P Switch Map

Forest Region P Switch Map Mario Kart World

The Forest region is surprisingly packed, but we shouldn't be too shocked given the variety of courses and the amount of trees here, right? Well... we are, a little, but that's besides the point. Boo Cinema is one of our favourite courses, and we're pretty partial to Acorn Heights, so we're not upset about going down to the woods. Even Mario Circuit is fun!

Our complete map for the Forest Region shows you where all 49 P Switches (yes, really!) are located, and we have all the details listed below, too!

Just like with P Switches, these Peach Coins are absolutely stacked all throughout the Forest region. It's one of the busiest, and hardest to navigate maps, of all, so we've got a rundown on where all 26 Peach Medallions are in this leafy green land.

As always, the numbers on the map line up with our list below, so make sure to cross-reference!

All Forest Peach Medallion Locations

Forest Peach Medallion 5
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: On the small log left of the log tunnel.

Medallion 6 (Acorn Heights)

Forest Peach Medallion 6

Location: On top of a lead next to a giant tree stump with a booster pad on it, above the Wiggler pit. (In the photo, it's hiding behind Piranha Plant's head — sorry!)

Follow that until you reach a four-way intersection, then head right here (under the Mario Kart banner). Follow the right wooden road and take the boost jump on the stump with a P Switch and binoculars to the other side. Land, turn around, and take this boost back and aim your car for the small lead in front of the stump.
