Most notably, the update features Toadette as a brand new character who touts her devastating special move that sends the ball flying with force. Beyond that, the previously announced New Donk City course is coming, which is based on the fictional city inSuper Mario Odyssey.
The free update also includes a new Ranked Match mode, which will allow players to test their skills in a more competitive sense. The Ranked mode keeps track of a player’s points, wins, and other stats that one can aim to improve. Those who reach A- or higher gain access to multiple Yoshi colors, including blue, red, or yellow.
Finally, this update aims to improve motion controls, though Nintendo hasn’t specified what that entails. As it stands, the motion controls work well enough but could certainly stand to be improved due to how finicky they can sometimes be.
Nintendo reiterated that more updates would be added “later this year,” though it’s unclear when and what to expect from them specifically.
