Gadget Additions and Adjustments in Ver.1.2.0

Since launch, we’ve observed two common strategies emerge in online matches:

1. Using drift-type gadgets to maintain top positions.

2. Staying in 9th – 12th place and using item control gadgets to get powerful items late in the race and quickly jump to top positions.

Both strategies made it very difficult for those in 4th – 8th place to make a comeback.

Therefore, in Ver.1.2.0, we’ve added and strengthened support-type and item-type gadgets to make it easier to make comebacks from 4th – 8th place.

We will continue monitoring online gadget usage and win rates to adjust balance going forward.

We’ve added 6 gadgets!

Note: Gadgets can be obtained once your Gadget Plate reaches “Silver Plate” or higher.

• Power Character Kit

• Comeback Kit

• Sea Dog Kit

Gadget Adjustments

• Quick Recovery: Further reduced downtime after taking a hit.

  • Previously, Quick Recovery provided a large benefit when hit, but losing rings often led to lower final positions. The gadget has been adjusted to allow more mid-position endurance.

• AdjustedAcceleration Machine KitRecovery timing further reduced to align with Quick Recovery’s adjustments.

• Wisp Chance UP: Reduced the influence on item probability.

  • Previously, Wisp Chance UP made it too easy to collect powerful items before the race’s end and aim for top positions. We’ve dialed this back a bit.

• Invincible Start: Vehicles now flash just before the effect ends to make timing clearer.

Other Adjustments

• Adjusted the appearance of Silver and Blaze’s AI skins and the color of Race Park rivals “Team Dimension,” as they could be mistaken for Invincible state.

  • For the eagle-eyed, the new color scheme is based on the “Turquoise Blue” aura Silver the Hedgehog emits when activating his abilities!

• Improved machine handling after collisions with other machines in water areas.

• Improved directional input detection to make it easier to use items in the intended direction while drifting.

• Adjusted
