Nintendo has released a small update for Mario Kart World, pushing the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive to Version 1.6.1. A pretty major update adding the Bob-omb Blast battle mode was released just last week, so this update doesn’t add any new content, but it does squash a couple more bugs you may have come across during your gameplay. The full patch notes are as follows:
Latest update: Ver. 1.6.1 (Released April 9, 2026)
Fixed Issues
- Fixed an issue where you would sometimes not get a speed boost upon landing after starting a rail ride following a Jump Boost or similar action.
- Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes end when switching between TV mode and handheld mode / tabletop mode after starting a game with three or more players in Multiplayer.
I had a dream King K. Rool was added as a racer as well as a Diddy Kong Racing track last night
Unironically K. Rool stands a real chance of being added.
A DKR track being a DLC course though, I sincerely doubt that ever happening.
It’s criminal that diddy is not in world, I find the playable common mario enemies in mario kart charming, but not diddy?
Did they release a patch yet that makes the game actually fun to play?
Custom items update was lit, it was so fun to only enable blue shells and watch first place get destroyed!
