Mario Kart 8 update brings manslaughter back to Coconut Mall

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe The Switch received the second wave of DLC content for the Booster Course Pass Today, which adds eight new cycles and finally fixes an old cycle. Let’s just say the shy guys at Coconut Mall are no longer shy, and if you get too close, you’ll get even more.

The first set of new courses back in MarchOne of the most awaited among them is Coconut Mall, a breezy classic from Mario Kart Wii Redesigned for the modern game. But there was only one problem: Miis were replaced by ram players near the end of the course with Shy Guys. What made matters worse was the fact that Shy Guys no longer drives. Their cars remained stationary. Mario Kart fans Was DistUrbed.

Well, in a very rare turn of events, Nintendo listened to fans and returned Death Alley at Coconut Mall to some of its former glory. Miis are still timid companions, but now they are a little forward and start spinning in a whirlpool of vehicular carnage.

Today’s DLC also adds New York Minute (tour), Mario Circuit 3 (SNES), Kalimari Desert (N64), Waluigi Pinball (DS), Sydney Sprint (Tour), Snow Land (GBA), Mushroom Gorge (Wii), Sky – high ice cream, A whole new level exclusive to MK8. Waluigi Pinball is A cult favorite deep cut. Mushroom Gorge returns with the infamous cut the gap intact. Sky-High Sundae is a file visual feast. But the shy guys in Coconut Mall are still Gallery theft.

Today’s update isn’t just a content drop, though. Nintendo is also still tweaking the underlying game. With the arrival of March’s DLC, it patched Item Boxes to make them regenerate faster after players pick them up. Today it did so again. The developers also increased the number of time trial ghosts players can download from 16 to 32 and adjusted how far vehicles get thrown based on their weight.

It’s far and away the most Nintendo has ever updated a game five years into its lifecycle, let alone one that was originally released on the Wii U back in 2014. While some analysts claim Mario Kart 9 It’s already in the worksThere are 24 more cycles to come MK8 Until the end of 2023. Undoubtedly at this point the Shy Guys will rip more than just the Coconut Mall and the item boxes will replenish faster than a Nintendo attorney can send a DMCA notice.
