Mario Kart World receives new update, includes Knockout Tour Team Battles

Nintendo released a free update for Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch 2. Version 1.5.0 brings in several bug fixes and new features. The main new feature that is part of this update is Team Battles in Knockout Tour in local wireless and online play.

Knockout Tour was released with Mario Kart World in June, but it was a solo battle. You are racing with 23 other drivers to the end, and if you miss a checkpoint, you are eliminated. Now this mode will have the option to battle as teams. 

With the new update, you can set up Knockout Tour races as a two-team (12 vs 12) race, three team (8 vs 8 vs 8) or a four-team (6 vs 6 vs 6 vs 6) race.

Mario Kart World Ver. 1.5.0 Fixes

Below is a list of fixed issues that came with the new Mario Kart World update, including other new features:

• Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes end if a player plays as Kamek on Choco Mountain.
• Fixed an issue where the displayed rating would sometimes be incorrect when joining “Everyone” in “Online Play” while in a room.
• Several other issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

• The game now supports the Polish language.
  • Note: You can change your selected language using the “Language” setting in the “System” menu of “System Settings.”

This update comes just a day after Nintendo released a surprise update for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for Switch.
