　　This is the third patch for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe since its release in April. The most recent one before this tweaked the online mode to give players who fell behind items that help them catch up more frequently.

　　Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold more than 3.5 million copies, making it the second best-selling Switch game, only behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (3.92 million).
