===Ver. 2.4.0===
An update was released on July 11th, 2023. The following changes were made:
<blockquote>
;Support for DLC
*Now supports paid DLC: ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass'', Wave 5 (two cups, eight courses, and three characters).
;General
*Improved the performance of some characters and vehicle customizations.
* Adjusted the invincibility time of some characters.
* Adjusted random item selection method in races where Custom Items is set, for when there are four players or less.
* Expanded range for when a warning displays when a Red Shell or Spiny Shell approaches from behind.
* Made it so that warnings about a Red Shell or Spiny Shell will be displayed with priority over other warnings.
* Made it so that a warning is not displayed when a Red Shell is targeting opponents.
* Made it so that L/R button operation on the class selection screen and course selection screen in the Grand Prix can be conducted on touchscreen as well.
* Lowered the appearance rate of Mirror and 200cc races in Worldwide and Regional settings.
;Fixed Issues
* Fixed an issue where a communication error occurs when a character catches a boomerang at the same time that a Boo brings an item.
* Fixed an issue where, when equipping an item and catching a boomerang at the same time, the player could not throw that item.
* Fixed an issue where the graph for the Mii Heavy weight class’s parameters didn’t match the actual abilities.
* Fixed an issue where a warning would not appear when an opponent used a Bullet Bill in online matches.
* Made it so the kart doesn’t spin or crash when running into an obstruction if the player uses a Super Star, Bullet Bill or Boo at that same time.
* Fixed an issue where the kart would get stuck between a cliff and small mushroom and be unable to move in Wii Mushroom Gorge.
* Fixed an issue where the player would go off the course when transformed as Bullet Bill right in front of the goal in GBA Riverside Park.
