Nintendo Releases Mario Kart World Update 1.6.1 With Targeted Bug Fixes

The maintenance patch fixes two issues to tighten gameplay stability after last month's content drop.

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.
