Mario Kart World Snow P Switch Guide
Image: Nintendo Life

The coldest region of Mario Kart World is full of adorable penguins, death-defying slopes, and cheeky ice cream treats. That's right, we're high up the mountains in the Snow Region, the eastern part of Mario Kart World's Free Roam map.

It might seem like the collectibles are buried in the snow here, but don't worry, we're hereto help you uncover all of the P Switch Missions and Peach Medallions in-between DK Pass, Sky-High Sundae, and Starview Peak. There's a lot, so bring those spiked tires!

If you're getting cold feet, though, consider checking out or collectible hubs for both Missions and Peach-shaped Coins for a change of pace.

It's easy to get lost in the ice-cold mountains of Mario Kart World, but between the ski slopes of DK pass and the starry sights of Starview Peak, there's so many lovely sights to see and collectibles to pick up, so why not use us as a guide?

Have a look at the map up top, then you can prepare yourself to slide down the slopes and pick up some treats along the way. With 40 buttons to hit, you're going to need to bring the thermals!

Snow P Switch 36
Image: Nintendo Life

Mission: "Power past Fuzzies while gathering blue coins!"

Location: Follow the road around the south of the lake all the way to the Yoshi's drive-thru, and take the left road a the intersection. Hop onto the train tracks going up and grind all the way until you see the button.

Tips: Rewind won't save you here if you get hit! Instead, try to time your jumps so you flip just as you approach the Fuzzies. This will take a few tries, so don't panic. If you're really struggling, take some Green Shells.

Mission 37

Snow P Switch 37
Image: Nintendo Life

Mission: "Join the snowballs in a race downhill"

Peach Medallions - Snow Region

Buttons aren't the only thing you'll be pressing in the Snow region. Can you press a medallion...? Well, nevermind. But You will find plenty of them alongside P Switch Missions, so we're done the hard work for you and seeked many of them out.

You can see where every Peach coin is above, but for the less curious, have a little scroll and see just exactly how to get every coin. There are 18 coins in total to collect here, so let's get to it!

All Snow Region Peach Medallion Locations

Medallion 1 (Sky-High Sundae)

Snow Peach Medallion 1

Medallion 2 (Starview Peak)

Snow Peach Medallion 2
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Inside the observatorium, grind on the right rails to grab this.

Tips: You'll need to come at this from the gliding section towards the end of the course, so drive through as normal and follow the path. Use rewind because the angle is tricky to nail. We did try with a Feather, but we couldn't get it to work!

Medallion 3 (DK Pass)

Snow Peach Medallion 3
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: On the ski wires directly linking Starview Peak and DK Pass (right-hand side from the mountain top)

Snow Peach Medallion 7
Image: Nintendo Life

Snow Peach Medallion 8
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: At the start of Starview Peak, drop down to the lower level then follow the road to the left, then turn right towards the ice path. Drop down to the left here, and you'll land next to a small raised path under the bridge, with a coin at the end.

Medallion 9

Snow Peach Medallion 9
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Head to the train station west of Starview Peak, which you can reach by following the icy roads to the right of the course. Eventually, you'll pass a campsite on a ledge. The Medallion is right here, on top of a rock next to the tents.

Medallion 10

Snow Peach Medallion 10
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: On top of a snowy plateau just southwest of Starview Peak.

Tips: This is tricky to get! You'll need to follow the ice roads right of the course, then when you approach the second cloud, use a boost (or Charge Jump) to launch yourself off of the road to the left, just past a star rod. Trick, and land on the Snow Pokey plateau, who are guarding the coin

Medallion 11

Snow Peach Medallion 11
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Right outside of Sky-High Sundae on the tip of a snowy peak overlooking the course from a distance.

Tips: You actually want to drive from Starview Peak, and follow the left icy roads below the course to reach this. Ideally, drop off the left side of the road after the Ty-foo cloud enemies and land on the snowy mountains. Just keep dropping until you hit a mountain that looks like a curved peak

Medallion 12 (Sky-High Sundae)

Snow Peach Medallion 12
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Drive through Sky-High Sundae until you reach the pink and green split. Take the pink side, and jump off the left to some small pink ramps.

Medallion 13

Snow Peach Medallion 13
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: This coin is in the centre of the Vanilla Lake tribute to the southwest of Sky-High Sundae, which you'll need to Charge Jump to get to.

Snow Peach Medallion 14
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: At DK Pass, turn around and then follow the course up the ramps until you reach the top of the slope. When you see some wooden panels and a wooden ramp, head right past them, then jump over the small gap with the booster to get this coin

Snow Peach Medallion 15
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: Turn around at DK Pass' starting line, then drive all the way to the top of the slope.

Snow Peach Medallion 16
Image: Nintendo Life

Location: If you just grabbed coin 15, then you can get this by driving from the train station towards a series of rocky plateaus, with a coin on top of a rock on the third biggest.

Medallion 17

Snow Peach Medallion 17

Location: Head to the lake in the southwest corner of the region and drive along the road around the south. When you reach the train tracks, cross over them and you'll see the Medallion a top a power line, which you'll need to grind from the other direction (as the ground turns orange)
