The new update has some of the following:
- Turtle Man's Mario Kart code, which allows you to throw an item ahead of you, or behind you. Simply hold Up or Down for that.
- If you choose Cream, Cheese will automatically appear. But it you switch to another character, then Cheese will dissapear.
- If there aren't any Waypoints on the map, then you will stop running.
- You can't drown if you finished the race. By that, I mean you won't hear the Drowning sounds, or see the Countdown numbers.
- If you didn't finish the race in NiGHTS mode, you instantly die when the countdown reaches 0.
But what it mainly has, is
MattW_CFI's updates. Those include the following:
Using this screenshot, you can see four things. The time now contains milliseconds, making things more accurate.
Every time you touch a starpost, or the Finish Line, your position will be updated on the bottom-left side of the screen. I touched the starpost when two bots went ahead of me, so I am now 3rd.
The bottom of the screen now shows three sets of time that's frequently updated. The
yellow time only appears after the First Lap has been cleared. It tells you how long it took you from two sets of starposts, or when you passed the Finish Line.
The
white time is the actual time that you touched the starpost, or the Finish Line.
The
red time is just how many seconds you're far away from the player/bot in 1st place. Right now, I am 54 milliseconds away. If you're ahead, then the time is
blue, and it tells you how far away the 2nd player is from you.
The last thing is the console messages. Lower case font has been added.
- Bots also play smarter now.
- Boosting is easier to control.
- In Mario Kart, when you get an item, the HUD actually starts changing Items randomly, and you hear Mario Kart's random sounds being played.
- There's a new Tournament Points screen in the Intermission, as seen in Sonic Riders and Mario Kart. Depending on your position at the end of the race, you will get either 10 points, 8, 6, and so on.
I came in first, so I get 10 more points. Amy came in last, so she will move from being in 4th to 7th place. Shadow came in 7th, so he will move down to 8th. Oh and by the way, this also means that you can now finish in 8th place in Single Player.
