Mario Kart 8 update is now LIVE: Mercedes DLC and pre-order Zelda/AC DLC all included

As someone who typically breaks ahead at the start and builds up a lead to win, I'm actually finding MK8 less punishing of skill than previous Mario Karts.

Blue shells have thankfully been nerfed, as have pity sex items like the star and bullet, making position more a matter of skill than just getting the right item.
