What Makes Mario Kart Tour Stand Out
■Challenge players worldwide in multiplayer!
You can race against up to seven other players, whether they're registered as in-game friends, nearby, or scattered around the world.
Multiplayer races can be customized with a variety of rules, such as individual or team races, kart speed, and number of item slots. You can play however you want!
■ Mario Kart takes a world tour!
Mario and friends go global in this new Mario Kart as they race around courses inspired by real-world cities in addition to classic Mario Kart courses! These destinations will be featured in tours that rotate every two weeks! In addition to courses based on iconic locales, some of your favorite Mario Kart characters will get variations that incorporate the local flavor of cities featured in the game!
■ Endless Mario Kart fun at your fingertips!
The Mario Kart series known and loved by many is ready to take the world by storm – one smart device at a time! With just one finger, you can steer and drift with ease and sling devastating items as you go for the gold in cups filled with new and classic Mario Kart courses.
■ Nab 1st place with items and Frenzy mode!
In Mario Kart Tour you have access to an arsenal of powerful items that can mix things up on the racetrack! Turn up the heat by activating the new Frenzy mode, which gives an unlimited supply of a certain item and makes you invincible! Make the most of the ensuing chaos, as Frenzy mode only lasts a short time!
■ Collect drivers, karts, badges, and more!
Earn Grand Stars by racing or fire off the featured pipe to receive more drivers, karts, and gliders! You can also proudly display badges, earned by completing certain challenges, next to your in-game name!
■ Bonus challenge courses put a twist on traditional races!
In certain races, 1st place isn't always the goal. With names like "Vs. Mega Bowser" and "Goomba Takedown," these bonus challenge courses demand a different approach to gameplay and strategy!
■ Race to increase your online rank!
Boost with the best of 'em! Your high scores will determine how you compare to other players all over the world. Keep practicing and trying out different combinations of drivers, karts, and gliders to increase your score and rise to the top!

Community Insight:
Its Mario kart. On your phone/tablet. What more can you ask for? Other than controller support, nothing else really. Itd be cool if we could connect a pair of Joy-Cons or Joy-Con 2s and start playing on it. We also got a Backbone one the other day, so itd also be pretty cool to attach a backbone to our phone and start playing Mario Kart. The regular controls are fine, we just think playing with a controller would be better. Im surprised Nintendo of all companies hasnt made controller support for their phone games anyway yea Nintendo pls add controller support thx bye -Toast.
We love how it always has a new tour every 13 days and all the new characters that you get every tour is really cool.
We feel iOS controller players should be allowed to play Mario kart, would get a lot more people on it in our opinion.
EZ five stars. We did leave a review a while ago about the signing in and how annoying it is but if you know what youre doing its ok. Im just now realizing how cringe that review was and how we didnt know how to do it but its in the past now and we can forget about it. Anyway Im here to talk about this game, its very fun and when its buffering or in the middle of an upgrade it gives you the option to do a practice round as its upgrading so you can literally play while it does its thing. Pretty cool. Pretty fun. The game itself is W it has good graphics you can play with other people and yea. Id recommend it.
Greatest of all mobile games ever.
Please add controller support for the Backbone one platform that would make this game so much better.
Better then ps5 or Xbox or any other next gen console! Whos playing in 2026? We are and we will be.
This game need to go around the worlds.
The most amazing mobile Nintendo game it brings Mario kart and makes it even better.
We appreciate the continuous updates and the variety of characters, gifts sand events but a couple things we wish yal could add is friend requests to add players by clicking on them without a code or joining someones else race without being friends and also if we could buy whichever character we want without waiting for it to come out on the shop.Other than that its amazing.
This game is full of fun entertaining time perfect to kill time.
We used to play on our family's or our Nintendo but we don't have one anymore… And so after a few years we redownloaded it and it was just like how it used to be but better and we keep winning and we thought we would be rusty with how long it's been but we're not and it's rlly fun, you level up fast and if ur competitive it just for you.
You should download this. It is so fun. We never have ads in this app. You should download it today.
It is an awesome game because its fun, entertaining and it is competitive an awesome game.
We love this game! Its so fun to play , especially multiplayer games and playing with our friends and family.
Reminds of us the switch version.
We love this idea and Im sure youll like it too.
This game is so fun we love Mario Kart this game is fun the only complaint is the fact that the tutorial is a little long other then that. This is a fun game we would recommend this to anyone who is looking to get this game.
We love Mario cart racing Ive never been so relaxed and happy about winning and we are super good at the game you all should try it.
We use to Love this game, but now Im deleting it cause come on its 2025! Why doesnt this have controller support yet? Its Mario Kart. This game could be so much better playing with a Backbone controller. We have no idea why they wont make that happen.
We love this game and subscribe to the monthly tour, but we are growing weary of the recycled product. This game desperately needs new content. New characters, Karts, and courses would be an exciting addition! Please consider adding new content, and dont let this beloved game become a relic.
Reason 1 this game includes crashing and flying and our cousin did and she cried so we dont recommend for 4+ so we think that it should be for 6+ but it is still a really fun game so 4 stars.
We love this game. There is no ads. One thing we dont really like about it that you have to buy almost everything with coins. And sometimes you have to wait a long time for it to load. When it is loading you can practice your driving skills. Otherwise it is a great game.
We love this game but we think it would be better if it had controller support (with the backbone controller).
We had we old account we had since late 2019 and we logged in with a different phone but same account and all our progress was gone.
We love playing but it very frequently has a communication error that prevents playing. Super annoying.
This app was so much fun to play on. We are not one to play video games; however we found it pretty cool to play against one or two live streamer friends who we have met and known for over a year! We usually get motion sickness when playing videos games but this didnt make us sick at all. The only issue that was a little confusing to us was the codes we believe when joining a game and sharing it with friends. Overall- its fun if you have nothing on your checklist and want to just play a game.
We would give 5, if our backbone was compatible.
The only thing we would say here is maybe adding controller support. We have a Backbone controller for our iPhone and it would be awesome to be able to play this game on that but means that it does not have control or support. We cannot so in the future, maybe an update would be necessary thank you.
While waiting for our switch 2 we were playing this all day we just get so into it even though there are ai players its still fun just pls temove ai players we wanna play against real players.
That game is great but we cant change on our own Nintendo character.
Its a good game we recommend to download the app.
We love the game, but the game keeps crashing.
Just kidding but we still have to get a account.
The game is a great game but there is a huge flaw in the multiplayer. We dont know how some people do it but when racing, but when they get hit, theyll find a way to do some weird twist and hopping and then they maintain their same speed like if they never got hit.
Fun game but maybe newer tracks to the game from the retro series would be nice. It gets somewhat stale racing in the same tracks every 2 months.
Playing multiplayer is a huge pain.
Overall, the whole game itself is good, but the only thing we dislike about it is that it is not compatible with Backbone controllers or controllers in general. We do not own a nintendo switch, and it would be nice to feel like we really do, ya know? Anyway, we enjoy the game? Please just make it accessible to controllers, too.
Mario Kart needs controller access! Please.
Mario kart tour is a great game for mobile devices. There are some good things and some bad things. First off Ill start off with the good things. First off is the quality. The quality is very decent for a mobile device. However, the bad thing is we feel like the steering could be better. We also like the variety of characters. Overall, we think this is a good game, three stars from us.
Just One More Movie Complete and then Mario Kart Tour Back (For Only Mr. Men for Star Butterfly The First Epic Of Movie, Dont Worry, Ill Make 14 More Parts Left).
This game would grade higher but the sound and background music stopped working months ago and even though we have those settings enabled to work and phone is not on silent – no sound. Please give guidance to fix this and Ill update this rating.
Make an extension for the backbone controller.
The controls on this game are garbage! You go into a drift and it automatically pulls the opposing way. This is with assist off. Constantly fighting the game to go the way you want to. Trash controlling.
As a Nintendo fan and who played Mario kart ds, mario kart wii, mario kart 3ds, mario kart 8 deluxe , Nintendo must care about this game in several things firstly, change the controls make it more easier and playable, secondly change game style, also improve the graphics more and make it more stable and thank you.
Love Mario kart and decided to redownload and got reminded real quick why we had to uninstall.
Its been out for how many years, and the controls are still inconsistent garbage? Happy Im not spending a cent on any of it, the game is rigged badly enough already.
So we played all of the MK games and wellthis is the worse 1 just get Mario kart world its good if you dont have a switch but if you do, dont get it. This is like that one meme mom can we get Mario kart soon! The mom: sweetie, we already have Mario kart at home Mario kart at home:.
The game was so amazing but then we couldnt log in to our account, saying the password was wrong and it sent a link to our email but when we tapped on the link the page was just blank now we can use our account we tried making a new one but we couldnt use that one.
Update the game!!! Why do we have to wait 2 weeks to race on new tracks!!! Most people can complete the tracks in a day and we have to wait 14 days for a new set of tracks.
