Mario Kart 7 (Ver. 1.1 now out)

[MAGNUS-8M]

Thank goodness, that'll definitely help. It won't help the item-unlocking system or the fact that the game is incredibly bare-bones in general, but maybe I'd be more willing to play online again, and definitely at least a little more willing to do random races again.

Well it's apparently going to offer more than just the Maka Wuhu glitch, so...I dunno what else it could contain. An additional mode would be nice IMO, because yeah, the game is pretty bare bones. I'd also like the AI to be toned down a bit on 150cc and Mirror Mode. As well as collecting coins while maxed out still gets you Coins towards Item Unlocking.

I can just imagine all the rage quitters' reactions when they find out the Maka Wuhu glitch doesn't work

Really, where was this said / speculated?

Their tears will be DELICIOUS.

I guess I should take advantage of the glitch while I still can for my Japanese copy of Mario Kart 7. (I haven't bothered to do every cup yet. )

What I'll find more hilarious is seeing them still attempt to do the glitch long after the update. XD

I would kill for some Single Player VS.! You know, that standard feature introduced in 2005.

I don't get Nintendo's thinking that single player vs. would just make you not want to play online. If I was feeling like playing human players, I'd go online. If I want to play somewhere like on a bus, at the airport, or at a doctor's appointment, I'm going to need Single Player VS where Wi-Fi is hard to come by!

I just want Waluigi as a Playable character... He's my favorite of all the Super Mario characters because he's really the only character with any sort of personality other than Wario and he's an absolute perv. (anyone remember his Crotch chops?) Plus having a Waluigi stage with no Waluigi character is odd in my opinion...

I have a hunch that MK7 will get updated to link with the Wii U MK8 game somehow.

LOL to be honest, I doubt that but hey now that you mention Mario Kart Wii"U" hopefully Nintendo shows us something at E3.

I imagine Nintendo will show off a teaser trailer of some of their IPs in HD at some point during the show, so who knows?

yeah, i agree. plus not everyone's in to online mode, so why punish them for a perfectly legit preference?

i also feel the game is real bare bones, tbh. i hate how hard it is to unlock new characters. i have to wait until 150 cc? really? that makes no sense. it likewise assumes that everyone's okay with playing the standard cast of characters all the time, which is obviously not true, otherwise they wouldn't have brought more characters into the series. that's why i haven't progressed far in the game, because i'm stuck using characters i'm not that enthusiastic about. bleh.

This was posted back on April 24th, but I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere:

In mid-May 2012, we will distribute an update for the Mario Kart 7 game via the Nintendo eShop.

UPDATE DETAILS

In the Online Multiplayer mode, the tracks "Wuhu Loop," "Maka Wuhu," and "Bowser Castle 1" will have shortcut exploits permanently eliminated from their maps.

After this update goes live, only Nintendo 3DS systems that have installed the update will be able to take part in Online Multiplayer in Mario Kart 7. (Nintendo 3DS systems that have not installed the update will be unable to play Online Multiplayer mode.)

* Players can still enjoy single-player and local Multiplayer modes without installing the update.

[ninjaTOASTY]

There were shortcuts on Wuhu Loop and Bowser Castle 1? I only knew of the one on Maka Wuhu.

Same here.

Though I think just the other day I spotted 2 racers online attempting the Wuhu loop one.

[Ngamer01]

The exploits for those courses all relate to where Lakitu puts you back on the track after you intentionally go out of bounds at specific parts of those courses. So Nintendo will either reprogram where Lakitu sets you down at after you attempt the glitches or try blocking off where you can glitch off at.

The glitch at Bowser Castle 1 can save a second off your time. The glitches at Wuhu Loop (if you can pull both off) can save 3.8 seconds total off your time. The most infamous glitch at Maku Wahu can save 20 seconds off your time.

[FFXIgaiaknight]

The courses it fixes are Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu, and GBA Bowser Castle

[Mirr0rR3flection]

YES!!! Finally!

(*inserts MK7 into 3DS*)

Edited:
Just tried the Maka Wuhu course online after downloading Ver 1.1 ...........THE PATCH WORKS! :'D

[Broken_Cartridge]

I may consider playing the game again now

[Waluigi]

I hope that Waluigi DLC is next. It better be

[Mako]

I'm glad Nintendo finally patched the game. If you played one of those courses you couldn't help but take the shortcuts as well because you knew everyone else was going to. If you took the legit route you knew you were going to lose. Now we don't have to worry about this anymore. They sure did take their sweet tie though...

[WarioT]

I hope that Waluigi DLC is next. It better be

And it's Free!!!

Wario misses him

[Dorkchop]

Haven't played the game in a while, but looking to play again. Feel free to add me as a friend (send me a message if do because I don't frequent these boards) and I'll add you back.

I like that Nintendo finally patched this.

Thought I'd update what my VR is now:
