  • Fixed an issue where sometimes controls were inoperable when selecting a character and trying to start Free Roam from the “Free Roam” map.
  • Fixed an issue where sometimes the game shut down when watching replay after a race.
  • Fixed an issue where sometimes the game shut down after a race in “Online Play.”
  • Fixed an issue where rate fluctuations were sometimes displayed incorrectly in “Knockout Tour” and “Online Play.”
  • Fixed an issue where it was easy for a communication error to occur when trying to join Friends playing “VS Race” or “Battle” in “Online Play.”
  • Fixed an issue where you sometimes slipped through the wall before the finish line of “DK Spaceport.”
  • Fixed an issue where you sometimes couldn’t return to correct position after falling of the course between “Airship Fortress” and “Bowser’s Castle” while gliding.

That’s about it when it comes to fixes, though given the game’s online matches, don’t be surprised to see more rolled out.
