Mario Kart World Update 1.7.0 Introduces New Knockout Tour Routes

Mario Kart World has recently had a big update, version 1.7.0. Nintendo Switch 2 users can now download this new version.

This update adds two new tracks to the Knockout Tour. It also allows players to use stickers in photo mode. There are balance changes to characters and cars, and many bugs have been fixed. Nintendo plans to add six more Knockout Tour routes in the future.

The update has also improved the speed of some characters and vehicles. It now allows players to hop immediately after being hit by certain items, like Kamek’s magic. Players can also stop a slipstream before it starts, which can help during races.

Many issues have been fixed, such as problems with Time Trials times and players falling through the course in some areas. This should make the game smoother for everyone.

Overall, the update aims to enhance the gameplay experience. A trailer for this update is available online for players who want to see what’s new.
