Following three updates in June, Mario Kart World<\/a>‘s first (and probably last) update for July 2025 is now officially live.<\/p>\n

This might just be the biggest one yet, as it includes a whole bunch of general updates as well as multiple bug fixes. One, in particular, mentions how the frequency of “lap-type courses” has been increased in some modes. Another note mentions how the computer opponents have been made “weaker in everything other than Battle” mode.<\/p>\n

There’s much more alongside these adjustments, so here’s the full rundown courtesy of Nintendo’s support page:<\/p>\n

Mario Kart World: Ver. 1.2.0 (Released July 29, 2025)<\/p>\n

General<\/p>\n

In the \u201cVS Race\u201d of \u201cSingle Player\u201d, added \u201cNo COM\u201d to the COM rules.
\nIn the \u201cVS Race\u201d of \u201cSingle Player\u201d and \u201cMultiplayer\u201d, added \u201cMushrooms only\u201d to the item rules.
\nYou can now choose \u201cView Replay\u201d after downloading ghost data in \u201cTime Trials\u201d.
\nYou can now choose whom to watch when spectating in \u201cKnockout Tour\u201d and \u201cBalloon Battle\u201d in \u201cOnline Play\u201d, \u201cWireless Play\u201d, and \u201cLAN Play\u201d.
\nYou can now see the waiting time until the next race or battle starts in \u201cOnline Play\u201d, \u201cWireless Play\u201d, and \u201cLAN Play\u201d.
\nWhen using CameraPlay in \u201cMultiplayer\u201d and \u201cOnline Play\u201d, the game will now remember the camera cursor position and size until the player closes the game.<\/p>\n

If you change the number of people playing, the cursor position and size will return to their original settings.<\/p>\n

On the \u201cFree Roam\u201d map, when you gather all of the P Switches, ? Panels, and Peach Medallions, the colors of the various numbers will now change.
\nMade COM weaker in everything other than \u201cBattle\u201d.
\nMade homing of Boomerang weaker.
\nDecreased the probability of getting a Triple Dash Mushroom in the low position, whenever the item rules in a race are anything other than \u201cFrantic\u201d.
\nChanged it so order of getting ? Block is higher than in the past, whenever the item rules in a race are anything other than \u201cFrantic\u201d.
\nMade it so there is a wheel spinning animation if the player presses the A button (acceleration) too early when starting a race while driving.<\/p>\n

Player will not lose speed even when spinning wheels.<\/p>\n

Increased the frequency of lap-type courses appearing in the selection when choosing the next course in \u201cVS Race\u201d and wireless races.<\/p>\n
