Mario Kart Arcade GP DX continues to receive new content. As part of the latest update in Japan, the game is about to receive a new mode.

The new mode is actually pretty straightforward and lets players use as many green shells as they desire. With an item box, your vehicle will be given a bumper that can block a shell once. We’ll also mention that Wario, who was previously an unlockable character, can now be used immediately.

Here’s some screenshots showcasing the new mode and Wario:

In Japan, a pretty big update has been released for the arcade game Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. This adds new courses such as Pac-Man Stadium and Namco Circuit while also improving the user interface and making the versus mode more enjoyable.

First, below are details on Pac-Man Stadium and Namco Circuit:

Pac-Man Stadium

A course glittering with neons, with the Pacman statue leaving the most impressions. It’s a technical course with many sharp curves. In order to progress smoothly, players will need to memorize the order of curves, and spin the handle in a rhythmical pattern accordingly.

Namco Circuit

A circuit that looks like a history museum of Namco games. There are many straight lines and loose curves, making it a course with high-speed battles. Use the acceleration area gimmicks well to instantly widen the gap against rivals.

Bandai Namco said that Mario Kart Arcade GP DX would be receiving annual updates when the game was first announced. This has held true in Japan, and the overseas version has now received its first update as well.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX version 1.04 EX brings about a number of new elements. This includes new characters Metal Mario and Rosalina, mirror modes of all tracks, a new title screen, new vehicles and power ups, and improved drifting mechanics.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX’s new version features three levels of boost based on the length of your drift. Drifting now provides a boost at the end similar to the Mario Kart console games.

The Japanese version of Mario Kart Arcade GP DX most recently added an online cross-site vs. location. It’s speculated that this will be available in the next annual update here in the west.
