What's Happening?
Nintendo has released a new update for Mario Kart World, version 1.2.1, available for download on the Nintendo Switch 2. This update addresses a specific issue related to ghost data in the Time Trials mode. Previously, players who chose 'Race against Ghost' or 'View Replay' immediately after downloading ghost data in 'View Rankings' encountered a problem where a different ghost than the one downloaded would play. The update resolves this issue, ensuring that the correct ghost data is used during gameplay. Players must download the latest update to continue playing online, and those who install the patch will be unable to play locally with others on version 1.1.2 or earlier.
Why It's Important?
The update is crucial for maintaining the integrity and enjoyment of the Time Trials mode in Mario Kart World. By fixing the ghost data issue, Nintendo ensures that players can accurately compete against downloaded ghost data, which is essential for fair competition and personal improvement in the game. This update reflects Nintendo's commitment to addressing player concerns and enhancing the gaming experience. It also highlights the importance of regular updates in maintaining the functionality and appeal of popular games, especially in competitive modes where accuracy and fairness are paramount.
