Mario Kart World update 1.6.1 delivers a small but targeted set of fixes aimed at improving gameplay consistency. The update addresses an issue where players would occasionally miss out on a speed boost after landing during certain rail ride sequences, which could disrupt race flow.
In addition, a more disruptive multiplayer issue has been resolved, where the game could unexpectedly end when switching between play modes with three or more players. While limited in scope, these fixes should make races feel more stable overall.
