Mario Kart World version 1.2.1 update patch notes

Fixed Issues

  • Fixed an issue where, if the player chose “Race against Ghost” or “View Replay” right after downloading ghost data in “View Rankings” in “Time Trials,” a ghost that was different from the one that was downloaded would play.

Note that you need to download the latest update in order to play online. Also, after installing the patch, you can’t play locally with those on version 1.1.2 or earlier.

The last update for Mario Kart World came out a couple of weeks ago. In case you missed it, you can catch up on the lengthy patch notes here.
