We’ve got the patch notes for the latest update here.

Nintendo announced Update 2.1.0 for Mario Kart Tour on the game’s Twitter on May 14, 2020. The major headline of the patch notes is the new addition of Team Races. Team Races allow you to grab a friend and go co-op against three other teams on your favorite tracks. You don’t have to worry about friendly fire on things like red shells with your co-op teammate, so the goal is for both of you to help eachother out and place as high as possible in each race. In addition, multiplayer room codes are now available for you to gather friends and foes in one place with relative ease. These features are available now in the latest update alongside the new Flower Tour featuring Monty Mole and Daisy, which launched last week.
