How to rewind in Mario Kart World

Rewind is a new feature added to Mario Kart World that allows you to undo your mistakes.
As you rewind, your character will backtrack for as long as you hold the rewind, but everything else will proceed as normal. Other cars, obstacles, and other moving objects will keep on trucking. However, rewind can be particularly useful for many other reasons!
Here’s how to rewind in Mario Kart World.
