Latest update: Ver. 3.0.0 (Released November 8th, 2023)
Support for DLC:
- Added paid DLC: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, Wave 6 (two cups, eight courses, four characters, 17 Mii racing suits).
General:
- Added “Music” button to the top menu.
- This is a feature where you can listen to the background music that plays during the game, as you like.
- Even players who don’t own the Booster Course Pass can listen to the background music of the DLC courses.
- Added feature where other players who aren’t friends can join in a Room.
- After creating a room, press the + Button or – Button to display the Room ID on the Room screen, and tell your fellow racers the Room ID.
- The other racers can join by entering the Room ID in “Search by Room ID.”
- Made it so that you can create a Room even if you have 0 friends registered.
- Added staff credits for the Booster Couse Pass.
- Increased the invincibility time of a portion of characters and vehicle customizations.
- Made it so that you can’t acquire strong items when taking an Item Box by stopping or driving in reverse, or taking an Item Box that is in same location multiple times during a race.
- Shortened the time between when an Item Box is acquired by someone until it is restored.
- Lowered the appearance rate of Mirror and 200cc in “Worldwide” and “Regional.”
- Made it so you can acquire the “Varia Suit” when using a Metroid series amiibo.
- Made it so you can acquire the “Hylian Suit” when using a Legend of Zelda series amiibo.
- Made it so you can acquire the “Kirby Suit” when using a Kirby series amiibo.
- Made it so you can acquire the “Daisy Suit” when using a Daisy amiibo.
Fixed Issues:
- Fixed an issue where no Bob-omb car blows up in Wii Moonview Highway, but a Bob-omb car blows up for someone you are playing with online.
- Fixed an issue where, when racing against a Ghost in Time Trials on Yoshi’s Island, the red road would not appear even though the Ghost touched the Winged Cloud.
Sometime, you just want to pop into a game someone created and shared on your favorite discord gaming community.
The Join the room by ID was one of the best simple feature of Smash, very happy to see MK having it. You can quickly go to a room you’ve found on a discord without having to mess with the friend feature.
It’s interesting that they tried to nerf sandbagging. I think it will just change how people do it (they’ll drive badly on purpose instead of stopping), but we’ll see.
I’m also afraid of legit situations where you are the last, in a really bad situation and trigger the sandbagger trigger because you’ve been hit by a shell (famous daisy clip).
Lowered the appearance rate of Mirror and 200cc in “Worldwide” and “Regional.”
Considering how often this exact line was in the patchnotes, it must be -20% chance by now. 😅
I am honestly fed up of them decreasing 200cc lol
Some races are great in 200cc, and others are just too weird, I think the 200cc choice factor should be races based.
I find 150cc to simply just not be that fun. I loved 200cc only cups, but I can’t seem to find them these days and worldwide just isn’t enough for a challenge in 150
“Fixed an issue where, when racing against a Ghost in Time Trials on Yoshi’s Island, the red road would not appear even though the Ghost touched the Winged Cloud.”
Why should the road appear when the ghost activates it? The ghost isn’t supposed to interact with the environment in a way that affects the player.
Perhaps you can’t interact with the road unless you touch it but you can see it appear for the ghost.
