"When a player uses an item right after the Super Horn in online matches, that item will now remain available for other players."
I do not understand what this means...

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Thanks was wondering about this. Was doing an offline cup, and it was like update downloaded.
I was like wut? There was an update?
Anyways biggest thing for me is the last one. I would get some random communication errors while spectating waiting for a match. Hopefully this fixes those!

Ha that's what I was getting over the weekend. I'd try and join a friend and sometimes I'd get into spectate, but then it would time out with the communication error.

I'm not sure if this was really the issue, but I the way I read it was if someone got and used the Super Horn once in an online match, no other player would ever get one from an item box for the rest of the race.

That's definitely what was happening here as well. Got in now on my second attempt.... Let's hope it keeps up.

Still can't pick the speed in online matches? I'm tired of racing at 100cc.
Regardless, good update.

Up your VR and you'll see more 150cc and less 100cc (and then eventually 200cc, unfortunately..)

Sir!
I wish the patch notes included "Loading screen no longer brighter than the sun."
200cc and Mirror are practically nonexistent in regular lobbies tho.
For every hour you spend playing the game, you probably face 1 or 2 of these 200cc/Mirror races and that's all. They actually made them even less common in a recent update so I highly doubt they're going to be a problem.
To early to say for sure but I'm not a fan of the multiplayer balance changes so far. Way to many mushrooms and stars in the further back places, makes it less interesting to ba call there and makes the people who actually get offensive items seem more powerful than they should be. Doesn't seem to actually make it any easier took get back towards the front.

I hope this patch fixes the local multiplayer communication errors. Seriously messed up a tournament I was in a few weeks ago.
So is there a new Pikmin costume? Usually in the amiibo screen it shows the costumes and then a check mark when you scan the amiibo, but I don't see anything new there after the update. Maybe it's not visible in the menu until you scan the amiibo but that'd be weird since most people wouldn't know to scan that amiibo then.

Less communication errors is the best part.
Really wish they allowed you to switch what item you use when you have 2 kinda like in double dash. It's trash you have to give up your first item to use the second.
Also why do I have his hope they will allow for more options for local play? It'll never happen and I bum myself out.

Just try it, you can!

Still cant use triggers/shoulder buttons for acceleration? :/

They didn't add a new costume, just made it possible to get the Olimar costume with the new Pikmin amiibo
It's probably the opposite. The Hey Pikmin amiibo probably triggers the existing Pokemon costume.
Ah, bummer. That makes sense though. Thanks!
I was thinking the other day why item switching isn't a thing for Deluxe version since you have 2 slots now? It would increase the strategy considerably!
You can use the second in the meantime, just did it
Some nice changes, I don't see a fix for item boxes sometimes not getting picked up in online when they should be.
So many Nintendo games don't let you remap your controls. It's so weird.

Interesting.. 🤔
I was always curious to know what Red Pikmin evolves into 🤔🤔
Also, I was delighted to find the "always accelerate" option, I use it all the time.
But I discovered it's disabled on Time Trial... Now I expect it to be disabled also online (?)
Why? It's not as if it's giving you any advantage, it's just not destroying you thumb...

Oh man that spinning wheel fix! I hated when the game kept giving me the same item over and over again while also making me wait 10 seconds. Good patch!

Is getting double coins whilst in 1st gone too?

Item distribution has really changed considerably. I have already gotten a star twice in 3rd place with 1st place visible in front of me. Will be interesting to see how it plays out, it feels like speed items are more common now to have less "everybody hits each other in the pack" situations.
That's great news, it was so frustrating to constantly get hit with weapons from behind and in front while in the middle of the pack. Shifting the balance from offensive items to speed items should help make being in the middle of the pack feel less like a punishment where you can't build up any momentum.

Just to clarify what I think they meant on the Super Horn, if you used the super horn and then another item would it block your second item due to the Super Horn effects? That's what I took it as.
Yeah the middle of the pack in Mario Kart can really be a clusterfuck especially with 12 players. Hopefully this helps.

You don't lose your item if you try to use it while Super Horn is activating

My thoughts exactly. Great changes.

And we still haven't got the original Arena elimination rules.... You know, the reason why the cars even have balloons on it, so that you're eliminated if you lost them all.
Oh and switçhing through both stored items would also be cool.
But good changes, didn't expect so many, kinda surprising.

Nintendo EPD games don't normally let you re-map your controls.
