Nintendo has updated Mario Kart World bringing the colourful racing game to Version 1.5.0. The big thing about this update is that it adds Team Races to the excellent Knockout Tour race mode, which should mix things up a little. Of course there’s also a few bug fixes which should improve your overall experience. You can read the full patch notes down below.
Latest update: Ver. 1.5.0 (Released January 21, 2026)
General
- Added team races to Knockout Tour when playing in a room during “Online Play” and “Wireless Play”.
- The game now supports the Polish language.
- Note: You can change your selected language using the “Language” setting in the “System” menu of “System Settings.”
Fixed Issues
- Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes end if a player plays as Kamek on Choco Mountain.
- Fixed an issue where the displayed rating would sometimes be incorrect when joining “Everyone” in “Online Play” while in a room.
- Several other issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

Uhh, did they add Kamek to the game or something? Kamek isn’t playable in Mario Kart World last time I checked.
