Nintendo has just rolled out a significant update for Mario Kart World, and one of the most impactful changes is the adjustment of CPU opponents’ difficulty. With the Version 1.2.0 patch, players will find that the AI has been made weaker in most modes, making it easier to achieve those coveted three-star ratings in Grand Prix and Knockout Tour. This change is a welcome relief for many players who found the previous difficulty level frustratingly high.

In a surprising turn of events, Nintendo’s mobile game, Mario Kart Tour, is set to receive its first major update in years. This update, dubbed the Sunshine Tour, will roll out starting July 22, 2025, and aims to celebrate the recent release of the highly anticipated console game, Mario Kart World, on the Nintendo Switch 2. After being officially wound down in 2023, fans are excited to see new content making its way back into the game.
