Nintendo has dropped a brand new version 1.2.0 update for F-Zero 99, with a major addition now being support for private lobbies. Players can choose a game mode and set a passcode to create one and players that enter the same settings will be added to the same lobby. That being said, there will be less EXP and fewer tickets given out and challenge progress, records, and leaderboard points will not be saved.
In addition, the update also includes Secret Tracks, maximum level and maximum skill rating increase, and one badge that can be used to customize Pilot Cards.
