What score did every Famitsu critic give Mario Kart World?

The story behind the answer

Every Famitsu critic gave Mario Kart World a score of 9 out of 10.

Famitsu is a prominent Japanese video-game magazine known for its multi-reviewer scoring format. Rather than relying on one reviewer, the publication traditionally has several critics assess a game independently and combine the results into a total score.

For Mario Kart World, all four Famitsu critics awarded 9 out of 10. That produced a perfect consistency of four matching scores, although it was not the same as four perfect 10s. The result was one part of the game’s generally positive critical reception.

This fact is easy to misremember because review scores are often quoted as an average or combined total. The precise detail is that four critics each gave the individual score 9, making the combined score 36 out of 40.
