Mario Kart World is less than a month away, but that doesn’t mean Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is suddenly chopped liver. No, Nintendo’s current premier racing game is still very much on the minds of its developers, as evidenced by the fact that it was just updated to a new version. Software update 4.0.4 is now live, and here is what it brings to the table:

General

  • Fixed issue where, when playing “3DS Music Park” during Time Trials and the player opened and closed the pause menu over and over, the timing of the “notes” jumping lost sync with the background music and ghost data that was registered would start not playing correctly.

    • The timing of the “notes” jumping still loses sync with the background music when opening and closing the menu even after applying updated data, but they will jump at correct timing when the ghost data plays.
    • Ghost data for “3DS Music Park” that was created in Ver.3.0.3. or earlier cannot be uploaded.
    • Ghost data that has this problem occur may be deleted without prior notice from “Online Ghosts.”
  • Fixed issue where coins thrown by spectators disappear before they fall onto the course in “N64 Rainbow Road.”

So, a couple of irksome oddities have been triaged, resulting in, one might assume, a better racing experience. If you’d like to optimize your own copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, simply connect your Switch to the Internet and give the update a download.
