Nintendo has released an update for Mario Kart 8 today, bringing the game up to version 4.1. This new patch didn’t come with any patch notes, but so far what players have discovered is that 200cc mode and Mirror Mode are no longer locked behind needing all the gold trophies in 150cc mode. When the DLC patch that brought 200cc mode first launched, players needed to complete all of the 150cc tracks and win a gold trophy in order to play the new mode.

 

This was likely because of the sheer amount of control that’s needed in order to play competitively at 200cc mode, so there’s no telling why Nintendo decided to remove the requirement. Perhaps too many people felt like it was content they’d never see. Either way, both 200cc mode and mirror mode are now available for anyone regardless of how many gold trophies you’ve unlocked in the 150cc mode.

 

Other notes include small improvements to gameplay.

Shouldn't the article say, "Either way, both 200cc mode and Mirror Mode are NOW available for anyone"?

Looks like they rushed writing it, I will change it here.

Aw I thought it was a 200cc version of mirror mode.

I remember being rather irked that I'd have to unlock 200cc in order to play it, as I'd hoped to just be able to right from the get-go. My big sister was pretty excited about it, and playing it with her would've been a lot of fun. Now, however, I find myself torn. On the one hand I'm glad that people can just go ahead and play both 200cc and Mirror Mode without having to complete 150cc (which some people might not be able to), but it could have also been a nice way to get people to not only try out 150cc, but to improve their skill as well.

i feel as though this is rather dumb (at least for 200cc) sure mirror mode is exactly like 150 so unlock it right way since thats only hard if you are use to the tracks. 200cc is another monster entirly and you have to have a general (a really godd) idea on where everythign is in the track, how soon to brake/drift etc to win. For the first time ever its incredibly hard and I feel as though you have to earn the right to unlock that difficulty

Oh bloody hell, I just spent half the week unlocking the damn thing.
