Overview
- Nintendo’s Version 1.6.1 update for Mario Kart World is live as a small maintenance patch focused on stability.
- The patch restores a missing speed boost that could fail to trigger after landing from a rail ride started following a Jump Boost.
- It also fixes a bug that could end the game when switching between TV, handheld, or tabletop modes after starting Multiplayer with three or more players.
- This follow‑up arrives after the late‑March 1.6.0 update that added Bob‑omb Blast to Battle mode alongside Balloon Battle and Coin Runners and adjusted several items.
- Nintendo also pushed new system firmware for Switch and Switch 2 this week and added three NES games to the Nintendo Switch Online classics library.
