Nintendo released new Mario Kart World patch notes on Tuesday, outlining a software update that adds online multiplayer options, expands language support, and resolves several gameplay issues, according to the company. The update is now live globally and applies to all supported platforms where the game is available, Nintendo said, with players required to install it to access online features.
The latest Mario Kart World patch notes confirm the introduction of team-based racing in select online modes, allowing players to compete in coordinated groups during multiplayer sessions. Nintendo said the change is aimed at improving balance and variety in competitive play, particularly for users participating in organized online rooms and wireless matches.
In addition to gameplay adjustments, the Mario Kart World patch notes list expanded language support, with Polish added to the game’s system language options. The company said the change is part of ongoing efforts to improve accessibility for players in additional regions.
Several technical fixes are also included in the update. According to Nintendo, the patch addresses a rare crash tied to specific in-race item interactions, corrects instances where online rankings could display inaccurately, and resolves minor performance issues reported by players since the previous release. The company said broader stability improvements were implemented but did not provide a full technical breakdown.
Mario Kart World launched in 2025 as a major entry in Nintendo’s long-running racing franchise, expanding multiplayer capacity and introducing larger, more interconnected courses. Since launch, Nintendo has issued regular updates, with patch notes typically focusing on online play reliability and bug fixes.
Nintendo reiterated that all players must be running the same software version to participate in online races, a requirement the company enforces across its multiplayer titles. No details were provided about future content updates or downloadable expansions.
