Nintendo has confirmed that they are aware of the bypass found in the Maku Wuhu track in Mario Kart 7. The glitch allows players to bypass a large portion of the track by navigating their kart into a specific water hazard.
According to a statement given to StickTwiddlers, Nintendo confirmed that they are “aware that it is possible to navigate a certain part of the track in Wuhu Island in a way that allows a large part of the course to be bypassed”. However, fixing the issue would “create an unfair advantage for the users of the original release of the game.” Nintendo stated that they have ”no plans to update the game to remove this shortcut.”
