Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 3.0.4 update out now, patch notes

Surprise: a new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update just dropped with version 3.0.4.

Nintendo is looking to address a couple of issues with today’s patch. The first one involves the 3DS Music Park track in Time Trials and repeatedly opening and closing the pause menu. N64 Rainbow Road also received a fix. 

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version 3.0.4 update patch notes

• Fixed issue where, when playing “3DS Music Park” during Time Trials and the player opened and closed the pause menu over and over, the timing of the “notes” jumping lost sync with the background music and ghost data that was registered would start not playing correctly.
  • The timing of the “notes” jumping still loses sync with the background music when opening and closing the menu even after applying updated data, but they will jump at correct timing when the ghost data plays.
  • Ghost data for “3DS Music Park” that was created in Ver.3.0.3. or earlier cannot be uploaded.
  • Ghost data that has this problem occur may be deleted without prior notice from “Online Ghosts.”
• Fixed issue where coins thrown by spectators disappear before they fall onto the course in “N64 Rainbow Road.”

This is the first update for the game since last September. Patch notes for the last one can be found here.
