Nice! Grabbing it now.

I'm pretty sure you have to update in order to play online again.

Okay, so, I just tried doing the glitch in Time Trials, and it still works if you land in the water, which isn't hard to do at all...

This is a joke, right? Someone please tell me that this is a joke...

did you try it online?

EDIT: According to some other people, the patch only affects the course online, which doesn't really make much sense...

From the E-shop?

I thought it was a force updates, i.e you can't play online races if you don't update.

 

[Gaiaknight]

yes from the eshop

yea reading its only patched online

meaning you cant cheat when playing on the internet

but if your playing on your time trail you cant loose out on getting quick time

 

[heartgold]

Okay just checked, it doesn't allow you to race online if you don't update!

 

[Gaiaknight]

So the patch is saved on the SD card, if you don't have it inserted then you can't play online. :/

Yeah, it's only online. If they were to patch offline mode like Time Trial, then they'd have to mess with the saved results on each 3DS.

Did a quick test. The patch itself is loaded during game boot. Not inserted, the Online mode won't show v1.1. Have to reload the game with the SD card inserted to have the patch activated.

like every single patch in existence...

Wow, this must be some kind of first for any Nintendo handheld? An actual bugfix to prevent cheating, good work!

 

[Terenigma]

Awesome news! Doesnt really matter to me that its not for offline, this game has barely anything to do offline anyway (unlike the awesome DS one)

I thought 3DS carts had the ability to apply patches to them.

this is applying it to the cart just only when you load the cart does it get applied
