Mario Kart World’s 1.7.0 update brings Drill Rally and Boomerang Rally to Knockout Tour. Discover new routes and balance changes.
Nintendo has dropped an unexpected 1.7.0 update for Mario Kart World. This update adds two new routes to the Knockout Tour mode and introduces a sticker feature to Photo Mode.
Knockout Tour is a mode where 24 drivers compete, and the last racers at each of five checkpoints are eliminated. The update brings two new routes to the game:
| Route | Path |
|---|---|
| Drill Rally | From Wario Shipyard to Bowser's Castle |
| Boomerang Rally | From Salty Salty Speedway to Whistlestop Summit |
These new routes don't introduce brand-new tracks but instead remix existing tracks in a new sequence. To unlock and play these routes, you only need to complete any Knockout Tour rally once. Nintendo has also confirmed that six more routes are planned for future updates.
In the pause menu, Photo Mode now lets you decorate your shots with collected stickers. Stickers can be combined with frames and placed using either touch controls or Joy-Con 2's mouse mode.
Additionally, several bugs have been fixed, including issues with wall clipping in Bowser's Castle, falling off the screen in Dandelion Depths, and incorrect finish times in Time Trials.
Mario Kart World is exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, and if you want to try the new Knockout Tour routes online with friends, you'll need a Nintendo Switch Online membership. To quickly top up your account, use a Nintendo eShop gift card through lotkeys and instantly activate your membership or new content from the update.
Just complete any Knockout Tour rally once, and both new routes will become available in the route selection screen.
