Mario Kart World uden forudgående varsel, hvor de tilføjede en række nye funktioner.
Opdateringen - nummereret version 1.4.0 - viser, at Nintendo faktisk har lyttet til den kritik, som mange spillere har fremhævet, nemlig at banerne mellem områderne føles for lige og uengagerende. Layoutet er derfor blevet ændret for flere spor i VS Race / Online / Wireless Play for at gøre det mere interaktivt, når man kører til og fra Koopa Troopa Beach (vi antager, at flere spor kan blive justeret i fremtiden, hvis dette viser sig at være en succes).
Men nyhederne stopper ikke der. Du kan nu også bruge Custom Items, hvilket grundlæggende betyder, at du kan fjerne bonusgenstande, du synes er meningsløse eller ødelægger balancen. Det er desuden blevet nemmere at spille med venner online, menuerne er forbedret, og flere fejl er rettet - blandt andet timingproblemet, der gjorde det muligt for Thwomps at knuse dig, selv efter de havde ramt jorden.
Du kan se hele listen over nye funktioner nedenfor, og det må siges, at opdateringen ser rigtig lovende ud og tydeligt viser, at Nintendo er mere lydhør, end de til tider får kredit for.
