Mario Kart World Update 1.4.0 Tweaks Track Layouts, Adds Custom Item Rules, Now Lets You See What Music Is Playing

Nintendo's update adds custom item rules and modifies intermission track layouts to improve gameplay and variety, addressing player feedback and fixing multiple bugs.

  • Custom Items let players choose which items appear across Vs Race, Balloon Battle, Coin Runners, and private matches, making Kamek item character unlocks like Spike and Peepa easier.
  • With credits hinting at new characters and a Nintendo Direct slated for next year, soundtrack jukebox and character select screen requests remain, and the Music Volume toggle offers only 'Normal' and 'Loud' options.
