Coloured Yoshi and ShyGuy's too if you pre-purchase the DLC
The first Mario Kart 8 patch has just gone live and is now available to download. To get the update process going just simply start the game and it’s just a small download.
Once in the game the you can download the Mercedes DLC for free from the new Shop section on the main menu. Adverts for the new downloadable packs and pre-purchasing of the Zelda x Mario Kart and Animal Crossing x Mario Kart packs is now also available. This update is not these packs, the first of those is out in November.
What this update does add a map display to the TV screen, a long requested and missing feature of the game. The three Mercedes DLC cars, the GLA, W25 Silver Arrow and 300 SL Roadster will also make their arrival via a 12.5mb download from the store.
Stat fans are in for a treat with a new Records screen added, it lists the total coins you’ve collected, online win-loss record, character selection rates and much more.
More changes include ‘Next Race’ being the default menu selection following a Grand Prix race. You can store your last used Kart customisation and also now edit other players Mario Kart TV highlights for yourself.
The full change log is below.
