MKDD-NX 1.6.0

Single player battle mode

  • Balloon Battle, Shine Thief and Bob-omb Blast against three computer karts (Mods > Single player battle mode, on by default). In 2 and 3 player battles, CPUs fill the empty places.
  • Works on the game's six arenas and all 24 MKDD Plus arenas. Their routes are built into the app, so there's nothing to install. A routes/<key>.txt on the SD card replaces the built-in route for that arena.
  • The CPUs go for item boxes, chase and aim at the nearest karts, steal the Shine, and run when down to their last balloon.
  • Route tools for the PC: tools/battle_routes.py and tools/route_editor.py (docs/BATTLE_ROUTES.md). The editor shows the game's and MKDD Plus's arena maps.

Camera

  • Kart FPV: first person with the kart's front in view. Right stick click switches it on and off for each player.
  • Driver FPV: one first-person view from the driver's eyes, replacing low, mid and high.
  • Both follow the driver's head, so every kart and character sits right. A on the view opens its page: eye height, eye forward and tilt.

Controls

  • Button mapping no longer locks up. Only A, B, R, X and Start need a button; the other actions can have none.
  • New Kart FPV action. Shorter hints.

Other

  • Cheats: Perfect starts, and Laps moved to this page.
  • Bob-omb Blast's start banner fixed for one player.
  • MKDD Plus battle stage pictures, and the one-player battle map placed under the Shine.
  • Debug logs no longer fill up with HUD lines.
  • README: battle mode, how to set up character packs (from GameBanana and the MKDD wiki), credits for Retro Track Grand Prix.

Assets

  • MKDD-NX.nro: the app.
  • MKDD-NX-Characters.exe (Windows), MKDD-NX-Characters-arm64.dmg / -x86_64.dmg (Mac, Apple Silicon / Intel): turns downloaded character mods into MKDD-NX character folders (wiki).
  • MKDD-NX-Route-Editor.exe (Windows), MKDD-NX-Route-Editor-arm64.dmg / -x86_64.dmg (Mac): the battle route editor. It starts from the built-in routes, and Save writes routes/<key>.txt for the SD card (wiki).
  • update.txt: for the in-game updater.
