Nintendo has updated *Mario Kart World* to version 1.3.0. The new update lets you easily join your friends who are already playing the “Knockout Tour” online, and includes other enhancements.
Here are the full patch notes:
General

- The “Free Roam” map now displays the locations of P Switches you’ve run over and Peach Medallions you’ve obtained.
- You can now select a P Switch from the map and move to a location near the P Switch.
- In “Free Roam,” you can now transform into the character pulled into the UFO.
- If “Dash Food” in “Settings/Controller” is set to “Doesn’t transform” then you will not transform.
