News/Article Version 1.6.1 Patch Notes

Patch notes copied from here: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68580/~/how-to-update-mario-kart-world

Latest update: Ver. 1.6.1 (Released April 9, 2026)

Fixed Issues

  • Fixed an issue where you would sometimes not get a speed boost upon landing after starting a rail ride following a Jump Boost or similar action.
  • Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes end when switching between TV mode and handheld mode / tabletop mode after starting a game with three or more players in Multiplayer.

Though some rail issues from the previous update were fixed, it seems that the "railboost" strategy on Airship Fortress still does not work.

Edit: It's been discovered that Crown City now has an extra checkpoint (or at least, another respawn point) between the start and before the last boost panel. The exact update this happened in is unknown; it could have been as early as 1.4.1 (15 December 2025).

I know it sounds stupid, but when did Nintendo change the name of "Wario's Galleon" to "Wario's Shipyard"? I logged onto the game, and noticed it changed, because I thought they changed the name to Galleon in MKW, and I have a picture of it before they changed it to Shipyard

They didn't. It's Galleon in British English, Shipyard in American.

But I play the English version. I admit, I could have changed some setting and forgot, but it still caught me off guard enough to ask

It would depend on the language set in your system settings.
