Camera (new menu, between Controls and Game)

  • Camera view: the normal chase camera, or first person from the driver's seat at three eye heights (low, mid, high), in 1 and 2 player races. The right stick click switches between normal and first person high by default.
  • Rear view: hold Y to look behind you, in first person too, and for every player in split screen.
  • Camera height: low, medium, regular (the game's) or high. It never drops below the kart.
  • Camera distance: very close, close, regular (the game's), far or very far.
  • Field of view: moved here from Graphics, with two new settings: Widest and Wideee.
  • Free camera: the right stick (or a GameCube C-stick) turns the camera a full 360° around your kart. When you let go it can snap back, glide back over about a third of a second, or stay where it is until you press Camera reset, which you can put on any button.

Race HUD

  • Modern style: smaller pieces in the screen corners, for 1 to 4 players, giving split-screen races more room.
  • HUD assets: hide each piece one by one, or all at once.
  • Speedometer: MPH or KM/H.

Controls

  • Button mapping: the camera actions (first person, jump, camera reset) can go on any button, as well as the GameCube buttons.
  • Pause screen: new Rear view and Jump boxes show the buttons they're mapped to.

Game

  • Jump: a hop on the Jump button (ZL by default) at low, mid or high height. The hop carries your speed and follows the slope.
  • Laps: 1 to 7 laps, or the course's normal count, in Grand Prix and Versus. Time Trial and Battle are unchanged.

Cheats

  • No weight classes: any driver pair can use any unlocked kart.
  • Special items: any character can use any special item, or you can assign one to each character.
  • Mini-turbo sweeps: fewer steering sweeps to charge a mini-turbo (1 or 2 instead of 3).
  • Mini-turbo speed: up to +100% boost speed. This also raises the speed cap while boosting.
  • Mini-turbo length: up to 4x boost duration.

Other

  • Main menu: Update and Debug now sit on the Exit game row (press right to reach them).
  • New app icon by realneonplayz (SteamGridDB).
  • Start-up fix: a launch that occasionally hung on the loading screen now recovers.

The HD Textures app for Windows and Mac is unchanged: get it from the v1.4.1 release.
