In addition to support for the paid Booster Course Pass Wave 3 DLC and new \u201cCustom Items\u201d feature in the item rules, the update includes the following change to gameplay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcfcfc\">When getting struck by lightning while gliding through the air, the glider no longer closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em>, a common strategy is to use the Lightning item while other players are soaring through the air with their gliders. Players struck by lightning while gliding over gaps are sent plummeting off the track as their gliders close, costing them coins and valuable time. It\u2019s an extremely strong strategy and commonly used by competitive players.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u843d\u3068\u30b5\u30f3\u3055\u308c\u305f\u7d50\u679c\u3001\u3001\u3001\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VUPnsB_43Nk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>However, with this latest update, players who are struck by lightning while gliding will continue their glide instead of falling into the abyss. Considering how widely used this strategy is in multiplayer, the change alone will likely have an impact on the competitive scene. Furthermore, this strategy was never possible in <em>Mario Kart Tour<\/em>, so you could say the change brings <em>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em> more in line with it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">no more target shock <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MK8D?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MK8D<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/K4Av1CctxU\">pic.twitter.com\/K4Av1CctxU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; starxlx (@starxlx_mk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/starxlx_mk\/status\/1600481560394108928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The update also adds a change where the period of invincibility a player has after spinning or crashing is based on the driver and machine parts selected.
