Overview

• Nintendo released patch 1.1.2 on June 25, altering the Random vote in wireless VS mode to draw from both three-lap circuits and single-lap intermission courses
• Intermission tracks guide players across Mario Kart World’s open map before a single lap, a format many racers find less engaging than traditional circuit races
• Community reaction on Reddit and social media has been overwhelmingly negative, with users claiming the update undermines the classic Mario Kart experience
• Some players are turning to private lobbies and Discord communities as workarounds to avoid the increased likelihood of intermission segments
• Alongside the Random mode change, the patch addressed bugs including rate display errors in Online Play, extended recovery times in Dino Dino Jungle, and collision issues in Boo Cinema
