Mario Kart PC Visual & Music Update

In MKPC by Nodac64
Published on 2026-05-15 at 19:11:55
Hey there, players! Mario Kart PC just received an update! This one mainly focuses on improving the game's overall visuals, including sprites, animations, but also music changes!

Full Change Log

• Visual changes:
    ◦ Improved the rendering engine for better overall visuals (Credits to @Theodore12 and @Wargor for implementing this feature into the game).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCRendering.gif

         ◦ Note that if you prefer the previous graphics visuals, you have bad taste you can still switch to a old version of the rendering engine in the settings.
https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCRenderingSetting.png
I didn't remember track image rendering being that great before...


    ◦ Revamped the https://i.postimg.cc/d1cqJX3t/carapacebleue.png Blue Shell's hovering animation (Credits to @BowserJr03 for the new sprites).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCSpinyShellDodge().gif
Hopefully dodging https://i.postimg.cc/d1cqJX3t/carapacebleue.png Blue Shells will now be more consistent thanks to a better animation!


    ◦ Improved sprites for the ground https://i.postimg.cc/K38YSwwM/Poison.png Poison Mushroom and its minimap icon.
    ◦ Updated the https://i.postimg.cc/K38YSwwM/Poison.png Poison Mushroom and https://i.postimg.cc/4Hx3kqqp/Red-Shell.png.png Red Shell's sprites in the item slot (Credits to @Kernell for the new sprites).
    ◦ Updated Hammer Bro's sprites in-game, on the Grand Prix podium and on the minimap (Credits to @VulpixTails for the new sprites).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCScreen4.png
It's no longer possible to mistake https://i.postimg.cc/fRhbCGzj/champi.png Mushrooms with https://i.postimg.cc/K38YSwwM/Poison.png Poison Mushrooms, and https://i.postimg.cc/4Hx3kqqp/Red-Shell.png.png Red Shells with https://i.postimg.cc/Gm93KG6r/carapace.png Green Shells!


    ◦ Updated the main page's background (Credits to @Kernell for the new background).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCScreen5.png
These mountains look amazing, with a brilliant sunset!



• Music changes:
    ◦ Added missing character ending themes, including:
         ◦ Waluigi - Mario Tennis Results
         ◦ Dry Bones - Mario Kart DS Good Results
         ◦ Birdo - Super Mario Bros. 2 Boss Remix
         ◦ Funky Kong - Funky Flights (Donkey Kong Country)
         ◦ Shy Guy - Underground (Super Mario Bros 2)
(Credits to @hoppingicon for the new ending themes).

That's all for this update! Have fun! ;)
Stay tuned for other updates coming soon!!
Salut les joueurs ! Mario Kart PC vient de recevoir une mise à jour ! Celle-ci se concentre principalement sur l’amélioration des visuels globaux du jeu, notamment les sprites, les animations, mais aussi quelques changements musicaux !

Liste des Changements

• Modifications visuelles :
    ◦ Amélioration du moteur de rendu pour de meilleurs visuels globaux (Merci à @Theodore12 et @Wargor pour avoir implémenté cette fonctionnalité dans le jeu).          

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCRendering.gif

    ◦ À noter que si vous préférez les anciens graphismes, vous avez des goûts de merde vous pouvez rebasculer sur l’ancienne version dans les paramètres.
https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCRenderingSetting.png
Je ne me souvenais pas que le rendu des images des circuits était aussi bon avant...


    ◦ Animation de survol de la https://i.postimg.cc/d1cqJX3t/carapacebleue.png Carapace Bleue retravaillée (Merci à @BowserJr03 pour les nouvelles images).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCSpinyShellDodge().gif
Esquiver les https://i.postimg.cc/d1cqJX3t/carapacebleue.png Carapaces Bleues est désormais plus cohérent grâce à une meilleure animation !


    ◦ Amélioration de l'image du https://i.postimg.cc/K38YSwwM/Poison.png Champignon Empoisonné au sol et sur la carte.
    ◦ Nouvelles images du https://i.postimg.cc/K38YSwwM/Poison.png Champignon Empoisonné et de la https://i.postimg.cc/4Hx3kqqp/Red-Shell.png.png Carapace Rouge dans l'emplacement des objets (Merci à @Kernell pour les nouvelles images).
    ◦ Nouvelle image de Frère Marto en jeu, sur le podium du Grand Prix et sur la carte (Merci à @VulpixTails pour les nouvelles images).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCScreen4.png
Impossible de confondre les https://i.postimg.cc/fRhbCGzj/champi.png Champignons avec les https://i.postimg.cc/K38YSwwM/Poison.png Champignons Empoisonnés, ni les https://i.postimg.cc/4Hx3kqqp/Red-Shell.png.png Carapaces Rouges avec les https://i.postimg.cc/Gm93KG6r/carapace.png Carapaces Vertes !


    ◦ Nouveau fond d'écran pour la page d'accueil (Merci à @Kernell pour le nouveau fond d'écran).

https://file.garden/ZxPdgZtLSWeNpbc5/MKPC%20Random%20Stuff/MKPCScreen5.png
Quelles montagnes magnifiques, avec un coucher de soleil splendide ! Absolument parfait pour la page d'accueil !



• Modifications musicales :
    ◦ Ajout de thèmes de fin manquants pour certains personnages, notamment :
         ◦ Waluigi – Résultats de Mario Tennis
         ◦ Skelerex – Bons résultats de Mario Kart DS
         ◦ Birdo – Remix du boss de Super Mario Bros. 2
         ◦ Funky Kong – Funky Flights (Donkey Kong Country)
         ◦ Maskass – Underground (Super Mario Bros. 2)
(Merci à @hoppingicon pour les nouvelles musiques)

C’est tout pour cette mise à jour ! Amusez-vous bien ! ;)

--Woo8687-- I really like the fact that the sprites that the red and green shell use when you're holding them look the same way as the icon

Nodac64 The new rendering engine does create lag for some players. If it does, I'd advise going back to the old one (Canvas).

--Woo8687-- The 6th slide's image (the one about time trials) still uses the old sprite for hammer bro, same goes to one of the screenshots using the old blue shell sprite, and another again the old sprite for hammer bro

CraftoMK08 I'm definitely sure that these effects with help the game. Although I might switch my settings to the old visuals because yesterday I started lagging a lot more in online races.

--Woo8687-- Yes, but you have to be colorblind to not notice. But the rest are pretty good, specially the animation for the blue shell, and sadly, my “Browser doesn't support WebGL” I'm pretty sure

Nodac64 Then you can say this whole update is useless because it doesn't change gameplay at all apart from the new Blue Shell dodge timing. This update is specifically for visual and music changes.

Nodac64 This update dropped at the same time as the News was released. The background was changed thanks to @Kernell to have a more modern look, the other mountains looked kind of depressive...

Lostungutngtungsala These mountains look amazing, with a brilliant sunset but I wish I can change it and I can do snaking like in MKDS that I saw on YouTube Now I need more practice.
