Mario Kart World Shakes Things Up: Intermission Races Now Take the Wheel in Latest Update!

Exciting news for racers everywhere! Mario Kart World has been updated to Version 1.1.2 on the Nintendo Switch 2. This latest patch not only addresses several pesky bugs but also introduces a significant change that could shake up competitive online play. Previously, selecting "Random" during course selection assured players a traditional 3-lap race. However, following the update, players may now find themselves navigating intermission courses that connect tracks in a unique and dynamic way when opting for Random.

Latest Update: Ver. 1.1.2 (Released June 25, 2025)

General Enhancements

  • Adjusted the course options available when selecting "Random" for the next race in a wireless "VS Race."

Resolved Issues

  • Made tweaks to correct discrepancies in rate fluctuations sometimes displayed during “Online Play” and “Knockout Tour.”
  • Fixed a problem that hindered players’ ability to recover quickly after falling off the course at “Dino Dino Jungle.”
  • Resolved an issue that caused players to repeatedly hit the wall near the finish line of “Boo Cinema” while transformed into Bullet Bill.
