Summary
X user pepsipu says a first Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak has now been used to mod Mario Kart World, adding characters such as Cinnamoroll, Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku.
The exploit targets system software 23.0.1 and needs the original Switch app SmileBASIC 4.4.9, more than 20 MiB of save data, Node.js 22+ on macOS or Linux, and a reachable local network.
That access is tethered rather than permanent, so users must repeat the process after every shutdown, keeping the method cumbersome and limiting immediate piracy risk.
Nintendo still faces pressure to patch the flaw in a future update, but the report says Switch 2 is far from the fully hackable state the original Switch eventually reached.
