Yes, the MSRP Is $79.99

When bought on its own, Mario Kart World is priced at $79.99, marking a $10 increase from the typical AAA game price for PlayStation and Xbox. While higher prices can be a tough pill to swallow, especially between console generations, it's a reflection of the escalating costs of game development. However, this price hike might well be justified by the scale and ambition of Mario Kart World.
