The cars were weirdly static before this updateNintendo is revisiting an absurd amount of classic tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the Booster Course Pass, and while most of the attention is fixated on the just-released second wave of DLC (https://www.destructoid.com/mario-kart-8-deluxe-season-pass-wave-2-dlc-date-details-track-list/), there's one small but appreciated change that's worth noting. Now, in the final stretch of Coconut Mall, the Shy Guys don't just sit there in their cars.
The developers shared a short clip of the new Shy Guy antics.

Granted, in the original Mario Kart Wii version of Coconut Mall, the obstacles were deadlier (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQObmjuS_Q4) ? the cars drove back and forth and were harder to avoid. That isn't the case here.
This Coconut Mall fix is more of a middle ground for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe players.
The Shy Guys are less static than before (excluding the Time Trial mode, as pictured above), but they aren't too annoying, either. Before, they felt lifeless in a kind of jarring way, and people definitely noticed that something felt off near the finish line. So it's good to see Nintendo go back and improve things, even if it's a small detail in the grand scheme.
After you're done playing the Turnip and Propellor Cups (https://www.destructoid.com/mario-kart-8-deluxe-season-pass-wave-2-dlc-date-details-track-list/) in Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, maybe circle back for a match on Coconut Mall. I'm excited to hop online tonight, especially for the all-new track, Sky-High Sundae.
At this point, kind of against all odds, I feel like I've gotten good mileage out of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass.
