Overview
- Nintendo pushed version 4.0.1 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which went live Tuesday and is available through the Switch software update process.
- The patch corrects a parity problem that caused more obstacles and Item Boxes to appear for Nintendo Switch 2 players during Online and Wireless Play.
- It also fixes a bug that prevented selecting a registered user in two-player Online/Wireless Play and restores missing Star Bits on Wii Rainbow Road on Switch 2.
- Version 4.0.1 repairs an issue that could cause the game to close unexpectedly under certain conditions, improving stability during races.
- The release is an incremental follow-up to last month’s Switch 2 support update that added higher-resolution display support, shorter load times, 5–8 player multiplayer and CameraPlay, and outlets are watching for any further post-patch reports.
