* Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast have been split into two playstyles. Score is the standard playstyle and Elimination is the new playstyle. For Balloon Battle, Elimination works similarly to the iteration of Balloon Battle in Mario Kart DS, the goal being to eliminate all twelve of the opposing players on the field or the opposing team of six by popping all five of their balloons. The last player in the field is the winner or the team to pop all of their opponents balloons is the winner. Bob-omb Blast works similarly to its original version in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! where the goal is to hit someone to earn a Star Point, the player must earn twelve Star Points in order to win the match. For a team game, the team of six must earn six Star Points.
=== Moon Runners ===
Nine Power Moons are placed randomly in the stage. The goal is to get more Moons than the opponents under one minute which resets, when it reaches zero, any players with the fewest Moons is removed from the game, the last player in the stage is the winner., getting hit by an item causes a player to lose a Moon. 
== Updates to Game performance ==
* The loading time is reduced again.
* More lighting and textures have been added to the courses from the first Wave in the Booster Course Pass.
