What innovation Mario Kart World 1.1.2?

On its official Nintendo website, it describes in detail the changes in version 1.1.2 Mario Kart World. The new update improves certain aspects of online games and fixes specific problems that have appeared in specific circuits. Here are the changes, translated by numerama:

• Setting randomly selected circuits (“random”) in “Race VS” mode in wireless connection.
• Fixed a problem where classification changes were sometimes improperly displayed in “online games” and “survival” modes.
• Fixed a problem where the recovery was sometimes too slow after falling on the perimeter of the “Jungle Dino Dino”.
• Fixed a mistake where the players turned into the ball continuously hit the wall near the finish line on the circuit “Boo Cinema”.

The last repair should assure several players, while the various videos that appeared on social networks actually showed problems with the use of Bill Ball. “Cannon” tends to get stuck in the wall and not to represent players.

Changing at random races annoys players

On social networks fans Mario Kart World Many of them show a new update and famous “Setting randomly circuits”.

• Previously, in VS Racing mode, a “random” option on the whole map chose a random circuit with three races.
• With the update, there is one of two chances to have a random level next to it, with a straight line on the highway. Enough to trigger the anger of the players.

With this change, Nintendo has just killed one of the only ways to get access to three races. One of the most recurring complaints of players is the duty to pass through the roads between the two districts. It seems that the company did not listen to the application because it decided to make it difficult to change its level.
