...and I have no idea what it does. I just tried to play online and it's undergoing server maintenance, then it downloaded the update. Can't seem to find any reference to it online yet, so we're on the BLEEDING EDGE here.

v1.1.0 was actually fairly substantial, and this being v1.2.0 and not v1.1.1 means it might be somethin good!

[Edit] Changelog up!

Version 1.2
Players can use Pikmin-themed amiibo to unlock a Pikmin Suit for the Mii driver.
Race rules and course name are now displayed on loading screens for online and wireless play, as well as Mario Kart TV.
Players who are behind in online matches will receive items geared toward catching up more frequently.
In online matches, no more than two Piranha Plants will be granted as items at the same time.
Controls are no longer unresponsive when the timer runs out when choosing a Mii racing suit for online matches.
When a player uses an item right after the Super Horn in online matches, that item will now remain available for other players.
Item wheel no longer spins continuously in online matches.
Online matches now end as intended 30 seconds after the first place racer finishes.
The Boomerang now returns to the first slot, if possible, after a player catches it.
Items shown in a player's item slots now display correctly when holding an item behind them.
No longer possible to use an item after it has been used to block an attack.
Communication errors no longer occur frequently while spectating or after spectating online matches.

Dark Cloud · Jun 29, 2017

Hmmmm

Skittzo0413 · Jun 29, 2017

I hope it'll let me upload my replays to YouTube like you could in MK8.

Probably just additional pleasantness though.

Enforced · Jun 29, 2017

Hoping for buff for blue shell and red shells.

Maybe 60 fps for 3-4 players? Once can dream...

ILoveMcChickens · Jun 29, 2017

I would love it if I didn't get disconnected for communication errors constantly anymore.

JohnTinker · Jun 29, 2017

Rich, smooth, creamy stability.

Rodney McKay · Jun 29, 2017

Looking forward to seeing some patch notes.

I just played a few races the other day after not playing it for several weeks and it still impresses me how good and sharp the game looks and just how fun it is.

valinthyne · Jun 29, 2017

Hey wait, why didnt we ever end up with Diddy in Deluxe? Werent the assets already made and then scrapped?

Item wheel fix and less frequent communication errors are godsend.

Undead Fantasy · Jun 29, 2017

Wait, what? I never pick the Miis. What is this and why would they act different from all other racers?

- Item wheel no longer spins continuously in online matches.

It's been 3 years.....and it's finally fixed!

The Boomerang thing was really annoying! Glad that won't be an issue anymore.

Looks like lots of little fixes here and there. Good to see these problems getting sorted.

It's about mothafuckin' goddamn time.

Triforce141 · Jun 29, 2017

What was stopping them from fixing the item wheel glitch back in 2014?

Goooood. Love the QOL improvements they're bringing.

thedan001 · Jun 29, 2017

The no longer use an item after being used to block an attack means?

This is really vague

The Wii U fucking sucked and was on its way out.

Honestly who knows? This game will have more legs on the Switch so it's definitely more worthwhile to fix it here.

daffy · Jun 29, 2017

they need to patch diddy in ffs

Vic · Jun 29, 2017

Welp, time to get back online. The communication errors were really annoying.

Son Of D · Jun 29, 2017

I'm guessing there was a glitch where if you held a banana to block a red shell you could time it right and still drop the banana behind you even though it was destroyed.

Fumpster · Jun 29, 2017

What does it refer to with that new Pikmin Mii costume? They already had a Pikmin one there before, is this a new one?

Probably means updated for compatibility with the upcoming Hey Pikmin amiibo

Spine_Ripper · Jun 29, 2017

Thank fuck they fixed the spinning wheel bug. Really turned me off the game. Gonna start playing this again like it's launch week!

CampbellzSoup · Jun 29, 2017

The slots in the top left when you get an item. It's a "wheel" because it spins around before choosing your item.

God that Amiibo is cute. Now that I know it'll work I might as well get it.

JaseMath · Jun 29, 2017

Looks like the bulk of the update is geared towards online play.

Because developing and deploying patches is very costly in both time and money. Developers have to prioritize fixes based on both level of effort and level of impact.

I played a decent amount online in both versions of the game and never encountered this. It would just spin endlessly?

For an extra 5-10 seconds, yeah. The sound loop keeps on going and going too.

It happens a lot on the Switch version and ive seen it on streams even.

Mario Kart 8 was already kinda laggy in spots and the Switch version was even worse.

The game definitely needed these patches sooner cause i was so fucking tired of not getting items fast enough and getting connection errors.
