Today, ahead of the release of the first wave of DLC courses, Nintendo shared new screenshots of said courses via Twitter. And as many have pointed out, Coconut Mall has gotten a visual upgrade since its inclusion was revealed. The upgrade isn't substantial, but it does show an increase in color and vibrancy. That said, for some strange reason, the actual track (the road) looks less detailed.
Below, you can check out the difference for yourself:
An updated version of Coconut Mall was spotted in a recent Nintendo of America tweet promoting the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC.

Of course, the idea that a 14-year-old course is being updated and improved for re-release isn't very surprising, however, when the course was first revealed for Booster Course Pass, it did not have these improvements, so these tweaks have caught Nintendo fans by surprise.
Only three days until wave 1 of the new #MarioKart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass arrives!

Which course are you looking forward to most in phase 1? Tokyo Blur? Choco Mountain? Coconut Mall? Let us know 👇 pic.twitter.com/G8HYjsF3tS
For now, it remains to be seen just how much other courses have been improved, if at all. So far, this has been the biggest noticeable upgrade, and while some are loving it, others are less impressed.
