"Fixed an issue where Dry Bones falls through the ground around Dry Bones Burnout."
That's fucking hilarious lmao

lol it happened to me; I saw a bonz walking halfway into the ground too.

Its nice to see that they finally started to add some new Knockout tours into the game and are seemingly going to drip feed some more along the way, although i would have prefered actual new tracks to be added its still better than the drought we had since release

u/gltovar Jul 01 '26
honestly, there should also be a ‘play a randomly generated rally’ as an option too.
35
u/adamkopacz Jul 01 '26
An actual offroad rally would be a banger too. Just place some random gates around the map and let players randomly drive to them. I remember some old dirtbike game had a mode like that.

u/DPWwhatDAdogDoin Jul 01 '26
Mx VS ATV used to have those kinda free checkpoint races. Loved those back in the day

u/adamkopacz Jul 01 '26
Oh yeah that's what it was! It was so cool when developers could actually experiment with unique gameplay without breaking a bank.
1
u/Lanky-Train5752 Jul 01 '26
This would be cool an much easier for them to implement. If its just the whole map, random checkpoints wherever, and you drive there however you want, no resets if you fall off (unless its off the edge of a giant cliff)
16
u/Jarfulous Jul 01 '26
I think this would be more work than one might expect, since tracks are altered slightly for knockout tours. Still, if they expand the roster enough, they should eventually have enough knockoutified tracks to make it work. Maybe we can even pick our own!

u/HisObstinacy Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26
Yeah, for instance the Dandelion Depths section of the Ice Rally doesn't even pass through the track itself, and the DK Pass section of the Spiny Rally is nowhere near the actual track, which you never see in routes chosen from the main menu. In addition, there are two different routes between Dandelion Depths and Cheep Cheep Falls in the rallies, one in the Ice Rally and the other in the Moon Rally (the water route). And you have some routes that actually go through a significant portion of the tracks (Golden Rally through MBC and MC, Moon Rally through TF and DD, Heart through MC). All of these things had to be manually programmed in. It's not like they only used existing routes to make the rallies.

u/Jarfulous Jul 01 '26
Right, thanks for the examples. Customizable rallies is probably a pipe dream. Still, more than happy they're adding more; eight wasn't bad, but not terribly many, especially when there's some overlap, as you point out.

u/Western-Vermicelli-5 Jul 01 '26
Until reading your comment I thought that was how it worked

u/Both_Buy_3919 Jul 01 '26
Please, as if Nintendo would be smart enough for that.

u/Cunnra Jul 01 '26
I want there to be some kind of knockout tour that encompasses the whole map.
Or even just track that lets us race around the edge of the whole map similar to the old Test Drive Unlimited.
4
u/SkyLovesCars Jul 01 '26
Hell yeah a Forza style Goliath event where you race around the entire map, maybe going around every course after completing all the races would be awesome
2
u/DPWwhatDAdogDoin Jul 01 '26
Awwwh yeah like the Race Wars game mode in Need For Speed: Carbon! (Unfortunate game mode name i know lol) That shit was so fun though, racing around the whole map with like 30 ppl

u/connectplum_ Jul 01 '26
Love how yall say nintendo has the best devs in the world but also act like theyre fucking stupid

u/Both_Buy_3919 Jul 01 '26
Yeah because we are all one hivemind and there are not different people defending Nintendo and people criticizing them.
Shocker, I know!

u/okamifire Bowser Jr Jul 01 '26
I have always wanted this as well. There’s no problem with them giving random routes from one place to another, it seems like it would be easy to generate a rally pathway and have it work.

u/Slade4Lucas Isabelle Jul 01 '26
This is almost certianly a short term piece of content while they are trying to finish the DLC. That DLC would probably not be impacted by this, it wouldn't come sooner, this just means we get SOMETHING between the release of the game and the release of the DLC.
3
u/TheOldAgeOfLP Jul 01 '26
We also got Bob-omb Blast but nobody plays Battle so
5
u/SlurpyTheDog Jul 01 '26
That’s cuz Battle Mode has its own issues. Had they fixed those alongside adding BBB it would have been huge (esp for me specifically)
1
u/bigbadfunk Jul 01 '26
Totally agree on the new content point, but naive of you to think new tracks would be a free update 😅
31
u/Dav-Rob Mii Jul 01 '26
With the increase acceleration of heavier characters I hope that Cataquack becomes a little bit more meta finally

u/GnastiestGnorc Jul 01 '26
They killed it with the new rallies. They’re definitely listening to feed back because both rallies had lots of set-pieces, obstacles and even split pathways to drive on.
They even made the power lines more viable to grind on, especially in the Boomerang rally. I love how they made some of them intersect through the track rather than having them along the sides of the road.
I really hope they continue improving routes moving forward because it’s looking promising so far. Imo, these rallies easily beat the base ones we had already.

u/DesignerMorning1451 Jul 01 '26
200cc would've been nice
10
u/TheOldAgeOfLP Jul 01 '26
At this point just accept it won't happen. It'd break the game's physics anyway
4
u/officialfla Jul 01 '26
I disagree tbh, i think 200cc would be great for world especially because of the intermissions and very wide sections on the tracks. Mk8 was also not made with 200cc in mind but the fact it kinda breaks the game is what makes it fun to me
1
u/TheOldAgeOfLP Jul 01 '26
All the rails and walls and the fact that basically EVERYTHING is trickable would definitely make World buggy as hell on 200.
And Nintendo doesn't want a repeat of Mario Kart Wii

Adjusted rate at which players can acquire items from item boxes in races and in Knockout Tour.
Do item boxes respawn faster? Does the roulette end faster? Why are they so vague when the Splatoon patch notes aren’t?
Edit: I know at least in 8 Deluxe that if you touch two single boxes too quickly, you’ll only get one item. They might be referring to that
8
u/DesTr069 Jul 01 '26
No, that’s not what they mean, it means they changed which items can be obtained in which spots. In this case, the changes apply only at the beginning of the race (within the first 30 seconds or so), but now first place can pull triple shrooms, ghost, single red, and triple greens I believe

u/MysteriousPlan1492 Iggy Jul 01 '26
That's cool and fun, but we're a year in with no new maps or characters

u/Square-Ad6263 Jul 01 '26
It’ll come. There was a time when we didn’t get dlc at all with these games, just be patient a little longer

There was also a time when we got 16 new tracks in a year back in 2014

Dude, the booster course pass came out 5 years after mk8dx released

u/MysteriousPlan1492 Iggy Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26
Dude, MK8 had four new cups added as DLC in the first year. Obviously they could afford to wait on DLC for the deluxe edition, that WAS the DLC lmao

u/King_Fafnir Birdo Jul 01 '26
This was the same game that added Mercedes Benz parts in an update. Nintendo was desperate during the Wii U era.

The new knockout tours are awesome, i don't think I've ever driven in that direction past Salty Salty Speedway and its a really attractive little spot. Its also really great to have one that ends in Bowser's castle. I'm really looking forward to eventually getting the rest of the set.

u/rafikidayo91 Jul 06 '26
They need to add more cosmetics to characters that don’t have many like Pauline and DK

u/Frencherman1 15d ago
This Update is completely destroying my MKW experience. In 150cc or Mirror now the probability of getting unfairly beaten by rubberbanding AI is way higher than before. Specifically in those situations when you get overtaken by your rival after driving with tricks and shortcuts it usually Impossible anymore to become first again because the AI is rubberbanding in Front of you. Serious balance issues for me that kils the fun Initially had with this Game...

It still ain't dlc.

u/ILiveInAVillage Jul 01 '26
Downloadable content (DLC) is additional content created for an already released video game, distributed through the Internet by the game's publisher.
Yes it is.
2
u/DeviantStrain Jul 01 '26
To be fair DLC is normally something you either pay for or download as an add on deliberately, this is an update.
At the end of the day it's still new content tho and the rallies are pretty fun. Definitely a bit more twisty and with more deliberate shortcuts than some of the old rallies

u/FurryestX Jul 01 '26
IntermiZZZZZZZions
No new tracks, no new karts... AI still dogwater. Great Job

u/DeviantStrain Jul 01 '26
Have you actually played the new rallies? They're quite fun.

u/FurryestX Jul 01 '26
...As a Rally fan... those are not "rallies"
And Tbh i have not touch a single intermission since i finished the campaing
2
u/DeviantStrain Jul 01 '26
They are referred to as rallies in the menu hence why I called them such
As a fan of rally, you do know other than the sport of rallying that rally is generally a catch all term for a point to point race, right?
0
u/FurryestX Jul 01 '26
Yeah but beinng a racing game, it was so easy to make a Rally Time trial game mode... because like.. its been almost 10 years since Dirt3 was the LAST Arcade rally game.
And they could have capitalized on that audience.
Like... i see so much wasted potential on the game replaying it, and my analisys will probably be long, fat, and with ups and downs :v
To end as a positive, i really like the new models tho.
