The patch for Mario Kart 7 is now available

84 Comments

Nintendo has released the first patch for a 3DS title. It fixes exploits found in Mario Kart 7, including the one for Maka Wuhu that allows racers to skip half of the track. This is a required update for anyone wishing to play the game online. You can download it via the eShop.

    Oh finally…

  • ffdgh

    the glitch still work offline but not online…
    and online is now 1.1

    • RicardoSForever

      Oh thanks for clearing that. I just tested Maka Wuhu in a time trail, and the glitch was still there, so I was like, trolling?! Good thing at least in Wi-Fi is no longer working.

    • 3DSFan777

      So why does it matter all that matters is that the gltch doesn’t work online ok
      Dumb-ass

    • Duncan

      Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    • Basil

      I see what you did there

  • http://www.facebook.com/fakkershuga Shuga

    finally its time to own those bastards thinking they are so pro cause they glitch the track lol

    • Matt

      i want to own their faces too. im in front of them the whole track up until that part then it’s like”WHOOPS TOO BAD!” i get so pissed at that… >.>

  • Zack

    It would have been awesome if this was an automatic update that didn’t notify cheaters that it’s fixed.. then we could be getting online and laughing at everyone’s faces when they try the glitch and fail miserably.

    • Jak

      They know that the update is up but every one trie to do the glith lol I stop to see everybodu tried and tried for do the glith lol

    • Symbol de Au

      Oh great. Now we’ll have nubs choosing Maka Wuhu hoping people will try to glitch. The cycle continues.

    • Zack

      It will probably just be awhile before everyone gets over the fact that the glitch is fixed… and therefore will stop choosing the track so much.

    • Kape

      There are people who don’t know what this update did. There was this one dude who kept voting for Maka Wuhu and when it finally was chosen he purposefully stayed behind. This time he stayed behind the whole race :P I like the track and it’s nice that we can play it normally now.

    • Diakia1044

      I was just racing online, and this guy, he was coming first and tried to attempt the glitch, and ended up coming last. *sighs* The idiots online these days. XD

  • Akfamilyhome

    It still works offline! Sweet…

    • AceOfBlades247

      And that’s what nubs want, the Glitch to stay Hopeless Newbies. I always be picking SNES Rainbow Road when I play and piss them off by shelling them (I have very acurate green shell throwing) and making them fall off! :D

    • mustbepbs

  • Castle

    Yes!!!!!

  • Bewoulf2000

    I agree that I love this, I hate that glitch, but who else was hoping for dlc. Not saying it isn’t coming.

  • Boosos

    David, You said ”Exploits”,so it means there are more of them that were fixed by this update, do you know what are the other ones?.

    • bob

      It says it also fixes GBA Bowser’s Castle 1 and Wuhu (Island) Loop

    • tnt175

      The one in bowser castle 1 of the snes (didnt know it) and also the one in wuhu loop

    • tnt175

      Got ninja’d :P

    • Peskiest

      @tnt175, it’s the GBA’s Bowser Castle 1. It was a glitch where you jump over the wall into some lava and got put back somwhere else it saved 5-7 seconds.

    • Boosos

      Thanks guys :)

  • Rhino Pubes

    JUSTICE!

    NINTENDO JUSTIC POLICE COMES TO PUNISH THE CHEATERS THAT HAVE BEEN CHEATING IN MARIO KART 7 FOR THE PAST OVER 9000 DAYS!

    • Big E

      I call BS. I haven’t even been alive for 9000 days.

    • Donny

      9000 days = 24.6411834 years.

      Dumb “Over 9000″ joke is dumb.

    • KING Z

      ^ Not Even Close

    • TheUltimateKoopa

      Not even close? What do you mean? Also, 9000 days = 24.6411834 years — I copied and pasted it from Google: https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&safe=active&sclient=psy-ab&q=9000+days+in+years&oq=9000+days+in+years&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&gs_l=hp.3..0.77.3410.0.3506.23.17.2.2.2.1.247.2982.0j13j4.17.0…0.0.0PVM_aR5YVE&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=33c54117c0a1d19a&biw=1920&bih=955

    • Donny

      Oh, did you count?

      Didn’t think so, stupid.

    • Symbol de Au

      Actually when accounting for leap years it’s more like 24.6406570842 some more numbers…Though even that isn’t completely accurate…heh.

  • SakuMo

    Freaking awesome. Now I don’t have to disconnect every time someone picks that stage. Fun times can be had again.

    Plays mariokart

    an error occurs

    FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Nintendo fix errors please!

    • http://blaaaaaaaaaaaa NINTENDO

      NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS HA HA HA HA HA HAH HAHAHAHAHHAHA

    • ERRORS

      US ERRORS DO NOT NEED FIXING. WE ARE THE SUPERIOR BEINGS.

    • Duncan

      Lolollolololoolol

    • Peskiest

      I am Error.

  • Smavey

    As someone with around 7000VR I think I’m kinda going to miss it. I hate the glitch don’t get me wrong and I am stoked that people are not going to only pick it, but that mad scramble to the cliff was fun once you got used to it. E.g., the thrill of getting a star and knocking people off . Shooting a blur shell, glitching, and 1 min later the shell hitting you, etc

    Tbh I’m more happy the bowser castle level is fixed…I never can miss

  • Lv.5 Jacon

    Hallalufa!

  • 1-up Dude

    I don’t have Mario Kart 7,but thats still good to know :3

  • Perry

    This is good!

  • George Tirebiter

    Glad to hear there’s an end to this an it’s relatively easy to get the fix.

    At the same time, I’m expecting to listen to the next Connectivity news update and hear something along the lines of “Nintendo needs to send updates rather than make us go get them.” That show can get really critical, but I’m just one of those people who likes to get lots of outside opinions so I’ll listen anyway. XP Plus, I love Nintendo World Report on the whole.

  • Outlaw

    Well, time to play MK7 again.

    • LaLaLa

      Dude, I got lucky enough for Maka Wuhu to never get chosen before this patch.

  • Craig

    Why do you call it Maka Wuhu? Why don’t you just call it by it’s English name?

    • KING Z

      That Is Its English Name -.-

    • stephen

      the American and English names are different.

    • Basil

      Wow. Just wow.

  • http://news Billy★

  • adrian12369

    • Peter

      Same. Now I can enjoy a good race on it again!

    • Derpy Hooves 2

      Yep, is nice :P

  • Matthew

    I tested it on TimeTrails, and I was like ”WDF?” But when I went online I saw some noobs use it and fail. Then I was like ”:D” It’s cool that everyone votes for Maku Wuhu now though.

  • JMAN

    now i just gotta play and watch them look like idiots trying to do the shortcut and it doesnt work!

  • BR!4N

    YESSSSS!!!
    Oh wait, I’ve known this since like 7 am this moring when I payed OOT before school.

    • BR!4N

      *morning
      It’s hard to type on a DSi with your fingers.

  • aperez8696

    Yes! Now I can stop using the Wireless switch more often to disconnect from everyone picking Maka Wuhu, and finally play that track glitchless!

  • SR

    So what happens to you when you attempt this glitch now? Just out of curiosity. :P

    • LaLaLa

      You spawn at the place where you fell off.
