'''''Mario Kart Tour''''' is a mobile game in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Unlike ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', it is free-to-play from the App Store and Google Play. The game reuses many assets from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', though its art style is more simple and cartoony. Gameplay mechanics such as gliding, [[underwater driving]], and character-specific [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special items]] return from past entries. In addition, the game introduces some features new to the ''Mario Kart'' series, such as reverse courses, trick courses, a combo system that grants points based on actions, and the [[Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour)|Frenzy]] mechanic, which allows racers with three item slots to deploy a large amount of any item during a race, including [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s and [[Bullet Bill]]s, at random should said item be in all three slots.


The game officially launched for both iOS and Android devices on September 25, 2019 in 163 territories, which covers nearly the same roster of availability as ''Super Mario Run'', with the exceptions of Belgium and Vietnam, the former of which banned games with loot boxes in 2019. Users who pre-registered acquired the game a day early. Unlike previous ''Mario'' mobile games, a Nintendo Account is required to be playable.

On September 1, 2022, Nintendo announced that [[Battle Mode]] would be added to the game on October 5, 2022.<ref>@mariokarttourEN (September 1, 2022) [https://twitter.com/mariokarttourEN/status/1565585887303532544 Battle Mode announcement]. ''Twitter''. Retrieved September 15, 2022</ref> It was released in the eponymous [[Battle Tour]].
The [[list of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tour]] occurring in the game changes every two weeks, changing the selection of courses available. For four years after the game's release, new content was added at the start of each tour, such as new courses, drivers, [[kart]]s, and [[glider]]s. On September 11, 2023, it was announced that the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]] would be the final tour to introduce new courses, drivers, karts, and gliders, with later tours being almost identical to previous tours from the Battle Tour onwards.

The goal of the game is to be in first place at the end of each race, using items obtained by driving through [[Item Box]]es. The game is played in a portrait position, while the phone's touch controls are used to play the game, such as dragging the finger across the screen to steer the kart. There are three ways the player can make turns. For the phones supporting it, the gyroscope can be used to steer. Touch controls can be used in two configurations. The main setting has the driver jumping every time the screen is tapped, making drifting the main way to take turns, controlled by how the fingers slide on the screen. In the other configuration, the kart does not jump when tapping the screen, which results in it steering and auto-drifting as the fingers slide on the screen. This configuration does not allow the charge of an Ultra Mini-Turbo. Similarly to ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' with auto-accelerate and smart-steering enabled, karts accelerate automatically and can steer players away from walls. The intensity of smart-steering can be changed in the game's settings.
The goal of the game is to be in first place at the end of each race and get a high score, using items obtained by driving through [[Item Box]]es. The game is played in a portrait or landscape position, while the phone's touch controls are used to play the game, such as dragging the finger across the screen to steer the kart. There are three ways the player can make turns. For the phones supporting it, the gyroscope can be used to steer. The player can choose what action is started when tapping and sliding the fingers on the main area of the screen, with the other action being performed by tapping a small circular button at the bottom and then sliding the fingers if needed. The main setting has the driver jumping every time the screen is tapped, allowing the kart to drift by sliding the fingers. In the other configuration, the kart does not jump when tapping the screen, which results in it steering when sliding the fingers on the screen. After steering for a while, the kart starts auto-drifting and charging Mini-Turbos and Super Mini-Turbos, but not Ultra Mini-Turbos that are only charged when drifting. Similarly to ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' with auto-accelerate and smart-steering enabled, karts accelerate automatically and can steer players away from walls. The intensity of smart-steering can be changed in the game's settings. If smart-steering is turned off, the player will be able to access most shortcuts without using [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, albeit slower.


The game's mechanics are based on ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and most of the Retro Courses are also available as either normal or retro courses in Mario Kart 7. A few features from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' that required substantial changes to the game, such as [[Bike]]s, [[ATV]]s, [[anti-gravity]], and 12-player races, are missing, while the 200cc class is present. Other features from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', such as auto-accelerate, smart-steering and Ultra Mini-Turbos, return. Unlike previous games the player cannot customize their tires.

When a race is completed, the player will be awarded with [[Grand Star]]s, [[Experience Point|experience points]] for the used driver, kart and glider, and [[coin]]s. If the player finishes in the top three places, the gauge to level up will be filled, while if the placement is 5th or lower, the gauge will be dropped. When the gauge is already empty, however, the player will not go level down. Grand Stars are awarded depending on whether a certain point threshold has been reached. Experience points for the driver, kart and glider are awarded depending on the placement. The coins obtained are those collected during the race, but a player will get one additional coin for every 1,000 points obtained during the race. Each day, it is possible to obtain up to 150 experience points for drivers, karts and gliders and up to 300 coins by racing. When those limits are reached the player cannot obtain experience points or coins by racing until the next day. In order to continue gaining experience points or collecting coins, the player can use point-boost tickets for the former and can play Coin Rush or get rewards from challenges for the latter. Filling up the gauge to level up gives a reward to the player, increases the points earned when reaching a specific placement in the race and, when level 7 or level 12 are reached, allows the player to buy more items in the shop.
When a race is completed, the player will be awarded with [[Grand Star]]s, [[Experience Point|experience points]] for the used driver, kart, and glider whose base points are not maxed out, and [[coin]]s. If the player finishes in the top three places, the gauge to level up will be filled, while if the placement is 5th or lower, the gauge will be dropped. When the gauge is already empty, however, the player will not level down. Only the points gained in the specific course will be lost, meaning that the first race on each course won't make the player lose experience points even if they arrive in 8th place; similarly, each course has an experience points cap. The more experience points have already been gained on a specific course, the fewer experience points will be awarded by arriving in the first three places until the cap is reached. At that point, only the experience points lost due to arriving in 5th place or lower will be regained when arriving in the first three places. The total amount of experience points gained in a course is never reset and is carried to the following tours, forcing the player to drive in new courses to still keep gaining experience points and leveling up.

Grand Stars are awarded depending on whether a certain point threshold has been reached. Experience points for the driver, kart, and glider are awarded depending on the placement. The coins obtained are those collected during the race, plus one additional coin for every 1,000 points obtained during the race. Each day, it is possible to obtain up to 450 experience points for the drivers, karts, and gliders and up to 300 coins by racing (900 experience points and 600 coins when the player is subscribed to the Gold Pass starting with version 2.4.0). When those limits are reached the player cannot obtain experience points or coins by racing until the next day. In order to continue gaining experience points or collecting coins, the player can use point-boost tickets for the former and can play Coin Rush or get rewards from challenges for the latter. Filling up the gauge to level up gives a reward to the player, increases the points earned when reaching a specific placement in the race and, when level 7 or level 12 are reached, allows the player to buy more items in the shop. Currently, the maximum level the player can reach is 400.

Another premium item, bought with real-life currency according to a monthly subscription model, is the Gold Pass, which grants access to the 200cc engine class, Gold Races (and multiplayer ranks S to S+6), additional items from Tour Gifts, and Gold Challenges. Players can gain rewards by renewing their Gold Pass subscription, such as ten rubies every month and a regular high end from a gold pipe for every three months of continuous subscription.


The game features Tour Challenges and Gold Challenges, which reward Grand Stars, and Standard Challenges, which reward [[Ruby|rubies]], the main premium currency of the game.
Every driver, kart, and glider has favorite courses, on which they offer advantages if they are used. Each course has three tiers for each driver, kart, and glider. Third-tier drivers receive one item from every Item Box, second-tier drivers receive two items and first-tier drivers receive three items. Second-tier karts give a bonus points multiplier of 1.5 and first-tier karts give a bonus points multiplier of 2. Second-tier gliders increase the time between two point-gaining actions to count as a combo and give a combo bonus multiplier of 2 and first-tier gliders increase the combo-time even longer and give a combo bonus multiplier of 3. The player can enter a [[Frenzy]] by obtaining three of the same item at the same time, which allows the player to temporarily use that item an infinite amount of times in addition to granting them invincibility. Super and High-End drivers, karts, and gliders have a higher number of points gained when choosing them and more preferred courses. In addition, drivers have their own special items, similar to ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''{{'}}s item system. Karts have their own driving-related bonus such as increasing the effectiveness of drifting, while gliders increase the likelihood of obtaining a certain item and the points gained when using said item. All drivers, karts, and gliders can be leveled up, and they all come with upgrades once this occurs. Since the 2.6.0 update, drivers, karts, and gliders are able to upgrade a favored course to a favorite course from being leveled up, with Normal items gaining one after reaching level 6, Super items gaining two after reaching levels 3 and 6, and High-End items gaining four after reaching levels 3 and 6.
 
Another premium item, bought with real-life currency according to a monthly subscription model, is the Gold Pass, which grants access to the 200cc engine class, additional items from Tour Gifts and Gold Challenges.
 
Each driver, kart and glider have favored courses, on which they offer advantages if they are used. Each course has three tiers for each driver, kart and glider. Third tier drivers receive one item from every Item Box, second tier drivers receive two items and first tier drivers receive three items.

Second tier gliders increase the time between two point-gaining actions to count as combo and give a combo bonus multiplier of 2 and first tier gliders increase the combo-time even longer and give a combo bonus multiplier of 3.

Karts have their own driving-related bonus such as increasing the effectiveness of drafting, while gliders increase the likelihood of obtaining a certain item and the points gained when using this item. All drivers, karts and gliders can be leveled up, and they all come with upgrades when done so.
 
The courses the player can play depends on the tour, which changes every two weeks. Each tour has sixteen cups, and adds new drivers, karts, gliders and courses, including one course that is new to the series. Each cup contains three races and one bonus challenge. Bonus challenges require the player to beat a certain goal with a certain character, kart and glider. Once each of the courses and the bonus challenge is played and enough Grand Stars are obtained, the player can move on to the next cup. Tour Gifts appear between cups which give the player items if enough Grand Stars are obtained. Every week, one of the tour's cups is a ranked cup. In a ranked cup, the player is placed on a leaderboard based on their overall score in the game against nineteen other players. The player gains a reward and increases in tier at the end of the week if the end position is within the best ten places.


{|class="wikitable" style="margin:auto; text-align:center"
The courses the player can play depends on the tour, which changes every two weeks. Since the [[{{Tour80}}]], each tour has fifteen cups, and adds new drivers, karts, gliders, and courses. Starting with the [[{{Tour13}}]] until the [[{{Tour79}}|2022 Anniversary Tour]], each tour had twelve cups. Starting with the [[{{Tour4}}|2019 Paris Tour]] until the [[{{Tour12}}]], each tour had eighteen cups.  Starting from the [[{{Tour1}}]] until the [[{{Tour3}}|2019 Halloween Tour]], each tour had sixteen cups. During certain tours, mainly ones themed around real-world locations, the game includes one course that is new to the series. Each cup contains three races and one bonus challenge. Bonus challenges require the player to beat a certain goal with a certain character, kart, and glider. Once each of the courses and the bonus challenge are all played and enough Grand Stars are obtained, the player can move on to the next cup. In later tours, cups are automatically unlocked without any requirements. In ''Mario Kart Tour'', cups are named after the playable characters.
===Ranked cup===
Every week, one of the tour's cups is a ranked cup. In a ranked cup, the player is placed on a leaderboard based on their overall score in the game against nineteen other players. The player gains a reward for finishing in the top 10 and will increase in tier at the end of the week if their end position is near the top, while they will lose one or two tiers if finishing poorly enough above tier 20. Since the [[{{Tour19}}]], tier 25 and up rewards [[points-cap ticket]]s for the top few positions. These tickets, along with the corresponding point-boost tickets, rotate between driver, kart, and glider tickets on a weekly basis. In some tours, drivers replaced coins in the rewards for moving to a higher tier. Currently, the highest tier the player can reach is 99.

===Points===
!colspan=8|Tier change
Points are collected during standard races and are used to gain Grand Stars and to rank the players, both overall and in ranked cups.
There are three ways of obtaining points in races: base points, bonus points, and position points.
 
====Base points====
Base points are given at the beginning of the race and are the sum of the base points of the character, kart and glider selected. They range from 800 to 1600 points. The base points can be increased through experience points obtained at the end of the races or through [[point-boost ticket]]s that provide 50 experience points each. The experience points are used to fill a gauge that when filled will increase the base points until the maximum amount has been reached. The amount of experience points needed to fill the gauge increases every time the gauge is filled.

====Bonus points====
===Points===
[[File:MKT Bonus Points.png|thumb|[[Larry Koopa|Larry]] obtaining bonus points by performing a [[trick]] as part of a combo.]]
{{see also|Mario Kart Tour race points system}}
Bonus points are points awarded every time a special event happens during the race. Said event might be a [[trick|Jump Boost]], gliding for a certain amount of time, finishing the lap in a certain position, hitting opponents or hazards, and various other cases. If a further event happens at least before two seconds have passed from the previous one, the combo indicator goes up and the points obtained are increased. The actual time that can pass between one event an the next can be incresed by choosing a glider of a higher tier in the course, by choosing a glider of higher rarity or by leveling up the glider. The number of points given is calculated as follows:
Points are collected during standard races and are used to gain Grand Stars and to rank players, both overall and in ranked cups. There are three ways of obtaining points in races: base points, bonus points, and position points.
 
====Base points====
''Points = (base points of the event × multiplier due to kart tiering in the course × multiplier due to kart rarity and skill level) + combo bonus + bonus point boosts + eventual increase from kart's special skill + eventual increase from glider's special skill''
Base points are given at the beginning of the race and are the sum of the base points of the character, kart and glider selected. They range from 800 to 3020 points (3320 points for [[Mii|Mii Racing Suits]]). The base points can be increased through experience points obtained at the end of the races or through [[point-boost ticket]]s that provide 50 experience points each. The experience points are used to fill a gauge that when filled will increase the base points until the maximum amount has been reached. The amount of experience points needed to fill the gauge increases every time the gauge is filled. Since the Cooking Tour, [[points-cap ticket]]s are added to the game, making it possible to raise the maximum amount of base points of a driver, kart, or glider.
 
{|class="wikitable"style="margin:auto;text-align:center"
The combo bonus is calculated as follows:
!colspan=7|Base points of drivers and kart parts
 
|-
''Combo bonus = multiplier from glider's tiering in the course × Min{combo count - 1 ; (cc of the engine class) / 10}''

The bonus point boost is calculated separately for the driver, kart and glider chosen, that are in the first tier of the course, as follows:

![[File:MKT Icon Normal Kart.png|x50px]]<br>Normal
In this case as well, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc. If more than 200 events happen, the bonus point boost is not applied from the 201st event onward.

The bonus point boost for position is calculated separately for the driver, kart and glider chosen, that are in the first tier of the course, as follows:
====Bonus points====
[[File:MKT Bonus Points.png|thumb|[[Chargin' Chuck]] obtaining bonus points by performing a [[trick|Jump Boost]] as part of a combo]]
Bonus points are points awarded every time a special event happens during the race. Said event might be a [[trick|Jump Boost]], gliding for a certain amount of time, finishing the lap in a certain position, hitting opponents or hazards, or various other cases. If a further event happens before about two seconds have passed from the previous one, the combo indicator goes up and the points obtained are increased. The actual time that can pass between one event and the next can be increased by choosing a glider of a higher tier in the course, by choosing a glider of higher rarity, or by leveling up the glider. The number of points given is calculated as follows:
*'''''Points''': (base points of the event × multiplier due to kart tiering in the course × multiplier due to kart rarity and skill level) + combo bonus + bonus point boosts + eventual increase from kart's [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] + eventual increase from glider's special skill''<br>
The combo bonus is calculated as follows:
*'''''Combo bonus''': multiplier from glider's tiering in the course × Min{combo count - 1 ; (cc of the engine class) / 10}''
For the purpose of the calculation, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc.


''Bonus point boost for position = base points × (skill level - 1) × number of events happened in the race × position multiplier × [(cc of the engine class) / 30000]''
The bonus point boost is calculated separately for the driver, kart, and glider chosen that are in the first tier of the course, as follows:
*'''''Bonus point boost''': base points × (skill level - 1) × [(cc of the engine class) / 30000]''
In this case as well, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc. If more than 200 events happen, the bonus point boost is not applied from the 201st event onward.


====Position points====
Position points are awarded to the player depending on their placement at the end of the race. They are calculated as follows:
*'''''Position points''': [(position points due to the level of the player + engine class bonus) × position multiplier] + bonus point boosts for position''
The bonus point boost for position is calculated separately for the driver, kart, and glider chosen that are in the first tier of the course, as follows:
*'''''Bonus point boost for position''': base points × (skill level - 1) × number of events that occurred in the race × position multiplier × [(cc of the engine class) / 30000]''
As in the other cases, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc.

===Collectibles and currencies===
====Additional internal data (RaceScoreParam)====
====Grand Stars====
The following internal data stems from the [[Peach Tour]].<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hGF4e9_mIL_HGjthaCGWz4t92Uq7oEd0Uwtge6gl9A0 A human readable transcription of the main content of the ''RaceScoreParam'' container].</ref>
[[Grand Star]]s are the main collectibles related to individual tours. Up to five of them can be earned by reaching certain points threshold in each standard race and up to three of them can be earned by clearing specific goals in each bonus challenge. Furthermore, clearing each day the daily challenge will warrant a Grand Star, and clearing Tour Challenges and Gold Challenges will reward the players with Grand Stars as well. Finally, using a [[star ticket]] will reward a Grand Star per ticket used.


They are used to unlock items in the cup bar of the course selection screen, namely cups and gifts. When the last gift will be obtained, coins will be rewarded in place of Grand Stars, and when a new tour starts, the Grand Stars obtained are reset to 0.
The engine class affects the obtained points in various other ways, as shown by the internal data:
 
{|class="wikitable"style="margin:auto;text-align:center"
====Rubies====
!colspan=5|Engine class dependent points-related parameters (EngineLevelParams)
[[Ruby|Rubies]] are the main premium currency of ''Mario Kart Tour''. Beside being bought with real life currency at the Shop, rubies can be obtained as daily login bonus, as player level up bonus, as part of tour gifts, as reward for the ranked cup and as reward for the Standard Challenges.
|-
 
!Parameter
Rubies can be used in two different ways: two buy launch pipes and to play Coin Rush mode.
![[File:MKT Icon 50cc.png|x50px]]<br>50cc
 
![[File:MKT Icon 100cc.png|x50px]]<br>100cc
Launch pipes randomly shoot out a driver, kart or glider, all which have their own rarities. A counter keeps track of the number of Normal, Super and High-End items obtained from a certain pipe, so that up to a certain number of Normal, Super and High-End items can be obtained. It is possible that a player obtains an item from a pipe that already has been obtained. When this happens, the level gauge of that item will be increased by one unit. A pipe contains 100 items, including one featured High-End character, kart and glider which are guaranteed to have been launched from a pipe if the player emptied it. A new pipe replaces the former one each week, and the player can reset a pipe manually as well.

The probability of obtaining a certain type of item from the pipe is (number of items of that type remaining in the pipe)/(total number of items remaining in the pipe), the probability of obtaining a specific item is (probability of getting an item of the type of the desired item)/(number of available items of the same type of the desired item).
 
[[File:MKT Coin Rush.png|thumb|Coin Rush during the [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour#Tokyo Tour|Tokyo Tour]]]]
Rubies can also be spent in Coin Rush where the player can obtain a great amount of coins. Over 300 coins are found in the course. For each tour, another course is available in Coin Rush and [[Gold Mario]] is the regular driver. The coins obtained from Coin Rush are multiplied by a certain number, depending on how many rubies a player has spent.

The ''InterimRankBonus'' multiplied by the ''InterimRankBonusRate'' is the amount of points obtained at the end of the first lap or the first two sections of three-sectioned tracks. The ''InterimRankBonus'' has the following values:
====Coins====
{|class="wikitable"style="margin:auto;text-align:center"
[[File:MKT Daily Selects.png|thumb|left|The Daily Selects section of the Shop]]
!colspan=9|InterimRankBonus
Coins are collected during a race and rewarded for the amount of points obtained during said race, up to 300 per day. Beside this main way of obtaining coins, coins can also be obtained in Coin Rush and in several rewards, such as obtaining three Standard Challenges, Tour Challenges or Gold Challenges in a row, column or diagonal, in gifts, as daily login bonuses, as player level up bonuses, as rewards for ranked cup placement.
 
They are mainly used in the Daily Selects section of the Shop, which is renewed each day. The first row is available to all players and doesn't contain any Super or High-End item, the second row is available to player of level 7 and above and doesn't contain any High-End item, the third row is available to players of level 12 and above and can contain any item.

==Courses==
''Combo time of the last action = Time × multiplier from glider's tiering in the course × multiplier due to glider rarity and skill level''
In addition to the courses listed below, many alternate courses are also featured in the game; courses can have an "R" (Reverse) and/or "T" (Trick) variant. Courses marked with "R" are driven in backwards orientation; the track will have alterations if necessary to make this possible. Courses marked with "T" feature many additional ramps and trickable obstacles, and are otherwise the same.


===Original===
where the multiplier from the tiering is around 1.45 if the course is one of the favorites of the glider and around 1.225 if the course is favored by the glider, being equal to 1 otherwise, and ''Time'' is based on the value reported in the table using intermediate values for intermediate scores (i.e. 1.95 seconds for 15 points and 2.25 seconds for 25 points) and either 1.4 seconds or 2.4 seconds for scores smaller than 5 points and greater than 30 points, respectively.

===Auto Mode===
Introduced in version 2.6.0, Auto mode is a new option in single-player races that allows the player to spectate in a race fully controlled by the AI. The driver, kart and glider chosen by the player will participate in said race and will be the default AI player followed. The player is able to choose the racer followed by the camera and has control on the relative positioning and zoom of the camera. A button at the bottom allows to take screenshots at the rendering resolution of the game rather than the display resolution of the device. Starting with version 2.8.0, seven additional filters can be applied to the camera. When the race ends, the Coins and event tokens (but not team tokens) collected by the chosen driver are given to the player, along with the obtained experience points of the driver, kart and glider. The experience points of the player will instead remain unaffected, regardless of the outcome of the race. One additional filter, the Pop Art filter, has been added at the start of the [[Princess Tour]].

{| align=center cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse; font-family:Arial; text-align:center"
[[Grand Star]]s are the main collectibles related to individual tours. Up to five of them can be earned by reaching certain point thresholds in each standard race and up to three of them can be earned by clearing specific goals in each bonus challenge. Furthermore, clearing Tour Challenges and Gold Challenges will reward the players with Grand Stars as well. Finally, using a [[star ticket]] will reward a Grand Star per ticket used. Up until the [[Peach vs. Daisy Tour]], clearing the daily challenge each day did also warrant a Grand Star.

===To be released on November 6, 2019===
The coins obtained during the race are capped at 99, while no cap on the coins obtained through points is known.

*[[Paris Promenade]], a course inspired by [[Paris]], featuring the [[Eiffel Tower]] and the [[Arc de Triomphe]] as traversable landmarks.<ref name=Trailer>Nintendo Mobile (August 27, 2019).

===Release date unknown===
Besides the main way of obtaining coins, they can also be obtained in Coin Rush and in several rewards, such as obtaining three challenges on a challenge card in a row, column or diagonal line, in gifts, as daily login bonuses, as player level up bonuses, as a replacement for Grand Stars or items at the maximum level, while waiting for Multiplayer races, as rewards for ranked cup placements and friend ranking. Also, friends can send five greeting coins to each other every day.

====''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' ([[Nintendo DS|DS]])====
In [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]], the player can spend rubies to obtain a great number of coins. Over 300 coins are found in the course. For each tour, another course is available in Coin Rush. Gold Mario is the regular driver, and the [[Gold Standard]] is the regular kart driven. The coins obtained from Coin Rush are multiplied by a certain number, depending on how many rubies a player has spent.

During the [[{{Tour19}}]], the Coins Aplenty Event was added to the game. This event gives the player twenty-four hours to obtain a large number of coins from a certain cup, which varies between players. 300 coins are awarded at the end of the first race on each course in the cup during the duration of the event, for a total of 900 guaranteed extra coins from the event; these coins do not count towards the daily cap of 300 coins from races. In addition, the daily cap is ignored on each of these three races, providing three extra opportunities to score coins beyond the cap if it has already been reached. These events are held every Saturday and Tuesdays (the latter day has been added since the [[{{Tour26}}]]). Starting from the [[{{Tour54}}|2021 Autumn Tour]], the number of coins is raised to 500 and held every Saturday, though in the [[{{Tour56}}]], the coin amount returned to 300 and the schedule reverted to every Saturday and Tuesday.
 
Coins are mainly used in the Daily Selects section of the shop.
 
====Tokens====
Introduced in the [[{{Tour23}}]], [[event token]]s are a special type of coins that can be collected during events. The way to collect event tokens differs from event to event. The different ways to collect event tokens are:
*Collecting from courses.
*Landing hits with shells.
*Landing hits with Bob-ombs.
*Landing hits with bananas.
*Causing opponents to crash.
*Performing Mini-Turbos.
*Keeping combo bonuses.
Some tours feature a Team Rally event, in which the player can collect team tokens. Team tokens can always be collected from courses, when the player races with a driver that is part of the chosen team. At the end of a race with a driver from the player's team, the player will be rewarded with additional team tokens for every 1,000 points they collected during the race. If the player's team has won the race, the player will get even more additional team tokens as a reward.
 
Since the [[{{Tour54}}|2021 Autumn Tour]], the Token Aplenty Event is held every Monday (formerly every Tuesday in the 2021 Autumn Tour and the [[{{Tour55}}|2021 Halloween Tour]]). This event is similar to the Coins Aplenty Event, but instead of being rewarded with a fixed amount of coins at the end of the race the player will get a random amount of event tokens (or team tokens, when the event takes place during a Team Rally), ranging from 50 to 300.
 
Event tokens and team tokens are used in the Token section of the Shop.

==Tours==
====Pipes====
{{main|List of tours in Mario Kart Tour}}
Pipes can shoot out a driver, kart, or glider, all of which have their own rarities. A pipe contains a determined probability distribution of Normal, Super, and High-End items, all of which are chosen randomly within their class and rarity. It is possible that a player obtains an item from a pipe that already has been obtained; when this happens, the level gauge of that item will be increased by one unit. Usually, if the pipe is about to shoot out a High-End item, it will be golden instead of green (sometimes, however, it might occur that a green pipe shoots out a High-End item).
Each tour consists of a series of cups, with each cup containing three courses and a bonus challenge. The featured character of the cup has the preference for every track in it increased by one tier. The following tables list the courses that make an appearance in each tour; "N" indicates a normal course, "R" a reversed course, "T" a [[trick]] course, and "R/T" a reversed trick course. Tracks in gray debuted during the respective tour. Click on a cup's icon to access the article of that cup.


===New York Tour===
As of the [[{{Tour23}}]], the player can shoot out one random regular High-End item from an All-Clear Pipe once in a tour, as soon as they have finished every cup from the tour. The list below shows all of the available items from the All-Clear Pipe as of the [[{{Tour80}}]].

As of the [[{{Tour45}}]], regular login bonuses are replaced with Today's Challenge in which the player must complete a race on a pre-selected course with a pre-selected driver, kart, and glider. After completing this daily race, the player can shoot out a free pipe launch (except on day 14) which can contain regular items, as well as rubies, coins, and item tickets. The player receives a special blue-colored badge on day 14 as a reward for playing on every day of the given tour. Until the [[{{Tour79}}]], the player received 5 rubies on days 5 and 10, in stead of a free pipe pull.

|style="background:palegreen"|N
Since the [[{{Tour66}}]], the player can buy pipe launches in the Token Shop. In some tours, also golden pipes can be bought in the Token Shop.
|
 
|
Since the [[{{Tour80}}]], pipes appear as Tour gifts and Gold Gifts. Some of the pipes that appear as Gold Gifts are golden.

{{multiframe|[[File:MKTour - Rank Icons.png]]|The grading system in multiplayer mode, which continues up to S+9.|align=left|size=148|bg=#15A7F4}}
|style="background:palegreen"|T
Multiplayer mode was added to ''Mario Kart Tour'' on March 8, 2020, where up to eight human players can play against each other. Players race against each other in three courses in a chosen cup of the current tour, with the cup changing every 13 minutes, allowing the player to race in cups that have not yet been unlocked. There are four sets of rules that interchange daily: 100cc with default item slots, 100cc with two item slots, 150cc with default item slots, and 150cc with two item slots. Matches are also periodically set to be '''Team Games'''<ref>[https://faq.mariokarttour.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409170914457# How does the Team Game rule work in multiplayer?] ''faq.mariokarttour.com''. Retrieved December 31, 2022. ([https://archive.ph/de6z7 Archived] December 31, 2022, 15:41:10 UTC via archive.today)</ref> (not to be confused with [[Team Rally|Team Rallies]]), wherein players are randomly divided into two teams and their combined standings at the end of a match decide the winning team. In the "With Friends or Others Nearby" mode, the player can set the rules themselves, including the engine class (50cc, 100cc, or 150cc), number of item slots (1, 2, or default), number of teams (none, 2, 3 or 4), number of races (3, 6, or 12), enabling teams, enabling Friendly-Fire Mode for teams, and inclusion of COM racers.  The player can also create a Room and invite players to join it with a code.
|
 
|
Introduced in version 3.0.0, [[Battle Mode]] is a mode in multiplayer where players must eliminate each other by popping their balloons. A battle ends if there is only one player remaining, or if the time limit is reached. In the "With Friends or Others Nearby" mode, the rules that the player can set include the number of item slots (1, 2, or default), the option to play with Bob-ombs only or Shells only, number of battles (3, 6, or 12), and inclusion of COM racers.
|
 
|style="background:palegreen"|N
Multiplayer features a grading system ranging from F to A for regular users, and onward from S to S+9 for Gold Pass subscribers. There are separate grading systems for races and battles. Prior to the version 3.0.0 update in September 2022, the maximum grade was S+6. Until version 3.0.0, multiplayer races were split between Gold Races (exclusive Gold Pass subscribers) and standard races. Gold Races featured additional rule variations (150cc with default item slots, 150cc with two item slots, 200cc with default item slots, and 200cc with one item slot). The player's grade is split up with a green grade for races and a purple grade for battles.
|
{{br|left}}
|
 
|
When the player is waiting for a multiplayer match to be found, they will earn coins. Up to 100 coins can be earned per day with this method. As of version 3.0.0, the Multiplayer Pipe is available, which the player can fire after having saved up enough points from playing races or battles in Multiplayer mode.
|
 
Once every few tours the Kart Pro event will take place (with its first appearance in the [[{{Tour38}}]]), in which the player can earn rewards like badges and rubies by completing challenges on a Kart Pro challenge card, including maintaining a streak of three wins in Standard Races or Gold Races. The amount of rubies the player will get as rewards for completing this challenge card depends on their grade. Grades F to A will receive 5 to 10 rubies, and grades S to S+9 will receive 15 to 21 rubies. As of version 2.9.0, players can maintain their streak if they win 2nd or 3rd place.
 
Some tours have a 2-Player Challenge event taking place, where the player could team up with another player in the "With Friends or Others Nearby" mode to race against a team of set opponents (such as Rosalina and the five babies in Vs. Rosalina Team) and collect event tokens in a set of three courses.
 
====Challenges====
{{see also|List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour}}
Challenges are objectives the player can complete to earn various badges and rewards depending on the type, of which there are eight: Standard Challenges, long-term challenges the player accomplishes throughout the course of the game; Tier Challenges (added in the [[{{Tour65}}]]) long-term challenges associated with Ranked Cups; Multiplayer Challenges (added in the [[{{Tour13}}]]), which are long-term challenges for multiplayer mode; Multiplayer Battle Challenges (added in the [[{{Tour80}}]]), which are long-term challenges for multiplayer battle mode; Tour, Tour Multiplayer (added in the [[{{Tour47}}]] as part of the [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour#Event challenge cards|Summertime Challenges]], later permanent in the [[{{Tour50}}]]), and Gold Challenges, challenges that last for the duration of the tour, the lattermost of which are exclusive to Gold Pass members; and Expert Challenges (added in the [[{{Tour19}}]]), which contain challenges that are harder to succeed than Tour, Gold, and Standard Challenges, and last for twelve weeks. The first set of Tour Challenges unlocks from the tour's beginning, while the second set unlocks after the first week. Some special event challenges are one-offs, such as the their Anniversary Challenges in the [[{{Tour28}}]], while other challenges last for three tours, such as the Summertime Challenges. Completing Standard and Multiplayer Challenges award the player with rubies, while Tour and Gold Challenges award extra Grand Stars and Expert Challenges reward the player only with badges. Completing special event challenges award the player with high amount of rubies or a High-End driver. Each challenge card holds nine challenges aligned in a 3×3 grid, and for every bingo the player acquires (i.e. any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal match), they earn a certain amount of coins. The player also receives a reward upon completing an entire challenge card.
=====Daily challenges=====
Each daily challenge rewarded a Grand Star. The player could have up to three daily challenges available at a time, and upon completing one, a new one would not appear until the following day. Upon entering a new tour, players would receive three daily challenges right away, resulting in a maximum of sixteen daily challenges per two-week tour. The daily challenges were selected at random from the following options:
*Do a Rocket Start.
*Get 1st place in a race.
*Perform a Slipstream.
*Activate Frenzy mode.
*Use a Mushroom.
*Land a hit with a Banana.
*Land a hit with a Red Shell.
*Land a hit with a Green Shell.
*Land a hit with a Bob-omb.
*Land a hit with a Super Horn.
*Join a multiplayer race.
From the [[{{Tour38}}]] onwards, daily challenges are no longer featured.
 
=====Premium Challenges=====
[[File:MKT Premium Challenge.jpg|thumb|The first Premium Challenge card in the [[{{Tour38}}]].]]
As of the [[{{Tour38}}]], players can purchase a card for $4.99 USD with additional challenges every tour, with the reward for completing all challenges being a High-End driver, kart or glider. Progress on the challenges is shown whether the player has purchased or not, and all completed challenges can be claimed immediately on purchase. Uncompleted challenge cards can be carried over to the next tour, with up to fifteen able to be held at once.
 
=====Total Points Challenge=====
As of the Snow Tour, the player's total points across all cups can be redeemed for rewards, up to 600,000 points. Among the top rewards are [[points-cap ticket]]s of increasing levels. Starting from the [[{{Tour61}}]], the Total Points Challenge features two challenge cards and goes up to 900,000 points, with more rewards. The [[{{Tour80}}]] later increased the final goal to 999,999 points, which was likely done due to the number of cups being changed from twelve to fifteen.
 
====Tour Gifts====
Tour Gifts give the player items if enough Grand Stars are obtained, with the top rewards often being [[level-boost ticket]]s of increasing levels. Part of the rewards can only be claimed by Gold Pass subscribers.
 
Since the [[{{Tour13}}]], the player could also unlock free pipe launches from the regular pipes of the current tour, if enough Grand Stars were obtained. Since the [[{{Tour80}}]], these are no longer available, due to the pipes being replaced by the Spotlight Shop.
 
As of version 2.10.0, players who started the game for the first time can unlock these characters in the currently-played tour.

====Shop====
The shop consists of six different sections.
=====Spotlight Shop=====
Introduced in the [[{{Tour80}}]], the Spotlight section consists of selected drivers, karts, and gliders that are in the Spotlight. Spotlight items are available for one week, after which they are replaced. There is also a Daily Spotlight shop, which contains six High-End drivers, six High-End karts, and six High-End gliders, and is renewed each day. Once a day, the player can use a Quick Ticket to change the items in the Daily Spotlight. The player can buy each item up to three times for the cost of 150 rubies for drivers, and 100 rubies for karts and gliders.
 
Until the [[{{Tour79}}]], the pipe section was available in the shop. A pipe contained a determined amount of Normal, Super, and High-End items, plus featured items. The items were not ordered, so each item, including the featured ones, could be potentially found in any placement within the pipe. The player could reset the pipe at any moment. A new pipe was introduced each week and, since the [[{{Tour3}}|2019 Halloween Tour]], the pipes lasted until the end of the tour.
 
Usually, a pipe contained the following items, with the spotlight items frequently taking the spot of a High-End item, though Super items could also appear in the spotlight.

Another common variant was the [[special pipe]] holding 50 items, used in special events and frequently not featuring any spotlight item, but rather a slightly different distribution of items to take into account the peculiar items that could be obtained in it.

The probability of obtaining a certain type of item from the pipe is (number of items of that type remaining in the pipe)/(total number of items remaining in the pipe) while the probability of obtaining a specific item is (probability of getting an item of the type of the desired item)/(number of available items of the same type of the desired item).
|
 
|
=====Mii Racing Suit Shop=====
|
Introduced in the [[{{Tour65}}]], the Mii Racing Suit section consists of 10 different [[Mii]] Racing Suits. The player can buy each Mii Racing Suit up to three times for the cost of 100 rubies. However, the first purchase of some selected Mii Racing Suits costs only 70 rubies.
|
 
|style="background:palegreen"|T
=====Token Shop=====
|
As of the [[{{Tour23}}]], the Token Shop (formerly known as the Event Shop) appears during events or Team Rallies. The player can buy items in this shop with [[event token]]s or team tokens. In several tours, the Token Shop is upgraded to feature various High-End items, tickets, and other items. Since the [[Samurai Tour]], pipe launches can be bought as well.

=====Daily Selects=====
{{construction|section=yes}}
[[File:MKT Daily Selects.png|thumb|left|The Daily Selects section of the Shop, before the base set was introduced.]]
 
The Daily Selects section is renewed each day. It consists of four rows, of which the first three each contain three items. The items in the left column are drivers or driver-related tickets, the items in the center column are karts or kart-related tickets, the items in the right column are gliders or glider-related tickets. The last row allows the player to play [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]]. The first row is available to all players and contains only Normal items and [[point-boost ticket]]s, the second row is available to players level 7 and above and contains Normal and Super items along with [[item ticket]]s and [[quick ticket]]s, and the third row is available to players of level 12 and above and contains only Super and High-End items. The first time an item's skill level is maxed out, it is replaced with other items of the same rarity, type and shop rarity until all the items of the corresponding rarity, type and shop rarity have their skill level maxed out, at which point a [[level-boost ticket]] or, since the [[Mii Tour (2022)|2022 Mii Tour]], a [[points-cap ticket]] is sold in place of these items. If the maxed out category has Normal rarity, only Normal tickets will be sold, once a Super item sold in the Daily Selects is maxed out, the tickets will either be Normal or Super, as soon as a High-End item sold in the Daily Selects is maxed out, tickets of all the rarities will be sold. Starting from the 2022 Mii Tour, High-End level-boost tickets can appear on the third row without having to max out items.

!colspan=5|Daily Selects' items
There are currently 40 playable characters (41 if including [[Gold Mario]], who appears exclusively in the Coin Rush mode) in ''Mario Kart Tour''. Upon launching the game for the first time, players start with either Toad or Toadette. After the tutorial they are granted a free pipe pull which grants either Peach or Bowser. Unlike other ''Mario Kart'' games, there are no weight classes between characters, but they are sorted by their rarity of unlocking them, via opening up randomized green pipes with rubies. There are three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. While the Normal characters are easier to unlock, rarer characters have a greater amount of starting points, have a higher top speed, higher coin-earning rates, likelihood of picking up mid-race weapons and items, and have more favored courses. Once players clear the tutorial, they are rewarded with a random Super-class character.

Since the [[{{Tour4}}|2019 Paris Tour]], in addition to tickets, only a subset of non-tour-exclusive items can be found as Daily Selects in all of the Tours, here referred to as "Base set". The listed items are most Normal items from the [[{{Tour2}}]] and most items from the [[{{Tour1}}]]. The Quick Ticket was removed and more items were added in the [[{{Tour19}}]] at an increased cost and shop rarity, appearing less frequently in the Daily Selects and being unable to replace the items of the same rarity and type when the skill levels of those were all maxed out. They are marked with an asterisk (*) and referred to here as "Additional". Since the [[{{Tour35}}]], "Additional" prices were reduced to the "Base set" price, but their shop rarity appears unchanged, with them still not being able to replace items of the same rarity and price when the skill levels of the latter are maxed out. In the [[{{Tour65}}]], more items were added in the Daily Selects again; they are marked with two asterisks (**). In the [[{{Tour80}}]], more items were added in the Daily Selects again; they are marked with three asterisks (***).

=====Tier Shop=====
Since the [[{{Tour29}}|2020 Halloween Tour]], players can buy items in the Tier Shop. The items available in it are replaced every week, and the higher the player's tier, the more items are available for purchase. Until the [[{{Tour79}}]], the top row featured drivers, karts, and gliders that were favorites of at least one course in that week's ranked cup, and often included at least one High-End part. The items unlock based on the player's all-time highest tier and remain unlocked even if their tier drops. Some items can be bought multiple times, though the price increases after the first or second purchase. Previosly, after unlocking super level-boost tickets, there was a chance that High-End level-boost tickets of the same type will appear in place of them. Since the [[{{Tour65}}]], High-End level-boost tickets will appear separately if the player's all-time highest tier is at least 50.

=====Ruby purchase=====
The player can purchase [[Ruby#Pricing|different amounts]] of rubies with real-life currency.
 
====Profile====
[[File:MKT Profile Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|A profile page showing a badge, favorite drivers and player records.]]
Players can visit profile pages of themselves and their friends. On a profile page, the player can display a badge, choose their eight favorite drivers out of the drivers they own and can see their records, which include the amounts of collected drivers, karts, and gliders, their highest score they earned on a single course in the current tour, their number of Standard Race, Gold Race and Kart Pro wins, their highest multiplayer grade and their highest tier. Additionally, their current level, tier, and multiplayer grade are shown for the player and their friends.
 
=====Badges=====
The player can collect [[List of badges in Mario Kart Tour|badges]] by completing challenges, by ending in the top 1,000 in the All-Cup ranking, or through other case-specific means (such as a Twitter retweet campaign or winning a team rally). Sometimes badges will also be given in the Gift Box. Out of all their collected badges, the player can choose one that will be visible to other players on their profile, though players can view other players' full badge lists. Standard badges have four different types: common badges, gold badges (obtained by completing Gold Challenges and requires a Gold Pass subscription), expert badges (obtained by completing Expert Challenges), and blue badges (obtained by completing Today's Challenge all fourteen days of a given tour). Gold, expert (red), and blue badges are all recolored versions of common badges in their respective colors.
 
Other kinds of badges are grouped separately and obtained by other means. These include badges earned from completing entire Expert Challenge cards, ranking badges, multiplayer badges such as winning a Kart Pro event, top-placement badges, and Team Rally badges.
 
====Friends====
The player can become in-game friends with other players, see the points of their friends on the different cups, and invite them to join a multiplayer room.
 
Since the [[{{Tour13}}]], a cumulative reward is given to the player if the combined total cup points of the week's ranked cup of the player and all of their friends reach certain amounts. In the [[{{Tour17}}]] only, the reward was rubies instead of coins. Since the second week of the [[{{Tour23}}]], the coin amounts have changed.

===High-End===
====News====
====Regular====
Every time that an announcement is being made, a new part of a tour starts, an update of the game is released, a new special offer or pipe is available or something else has been changed, the player receives a message with detailed information about what is new. Messages regarding known issues also appear here.
{| width=80% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse; font-family:Arial; text-align:center"
 
====Mii====
The player can upload [[Mii]] characters from their Nintendo Account or create new ones. Mii characters can also be shared with other players.
 
The player can collect different Mii Racing Suits for their Miis to wear. Every time the player gets a new Mii Racing Suit, all of their Mii Racing Suits will get ten additional base points. Each Mii Racing Suit that the player owns has to be assigned to a specific Mii of the player's choice.
 
====Gifts====
Sometimes the player receives additional gifts, which can be rubies, coins, or badges. Mainly, these gifts are given at celebration occasions such as celebration days, the start of a new tour, or the launch of Multiplayer mode. Sometimes it happens that the player does not receive a reward due to a technical problem in the game. These rewards can appear as gifts at a later time. Gifts remain available for fourteen days.

The following table lists the amount of skill level points needed to bring an acquired driver, kart, or glider to a certain skill level. Raising the skill level of a driver, kart or glider requires obtaining duplicates of them as Tour Gifts, from the Pipe or the Shop, or from using level-boost tickets that match the type and rarity.

===Race courses===
! style="background: #ABC" width=10%|[[File:MKT Icon Pauline Emblem.png|40px]]
''Mario Kart Tour'' features 103 different race courses (136 if each route is counted for courses with multiple re-routes), the most out of all ''Mario Kart'' games. Until the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)]], at least one additional course was added at the start of almost every tour. Notably, ''Mario Kart Tour'' introduces course variants,{{footnote|main|note}} with courses having up to three variants in addition to the normal one:
! style="background: #ABC" width=15%|[[Pauline]]
*Courses marked with "R" (Reverse), labeled "SI" (Sens inverse) in French, are driven in reverse orientation, and mostly just have alterations to make this possible if necessary or to add in some course elements. Every race course in the game has an R variant.

Some specific T variants feature other alterations, such as adding Kanaami Roads to replace glider sections (like in [[DS Airship Fortress|DS Airship Fortress T]]), changing the order the course is traversed in (like in [[N64 Kalimari Desert#N64 Kalimari Desert 2|N64 Kalimari Desert 2T]]), or even changing the starting location (like in [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|3DS Rock Rock Mountain T]]). Every race course in the game except [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4]] has a T variant.
! style="background: #ABC" width=10%|[[File:MKT Icon Mario Cup.png|40px]]
*Courses marked with "R/T" (Reverse/Trick), labeled "SI/A" (Sens inverse/Acrobatique) in French and "RX" (Reverse Extreme) in all other languages, feature the elements of both R and T courses. As such, they go through the course backwards while adding more ramps, Kanaami Roads, and other obstacles with which to perform Jump Boosts and combos. Unlike with R and T variants, many courses were introduced without R/T variants and gained them later on. Originally, R/T variants only appeared for city courses, with them introduced in the same tour as the city course's other variants, but classic courses would start having them as well beginning with the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]], after which every tour has had three to five R/T variants (of any course type). From then to the [[Trick Tour (2020)|2020 Trick Tour]], each tour saw one to three new ones added. Every race course in the game except GBA Bowser's Castle 4 and 3DS Rock Rock Mountain has an R/T variant.
! style="background: #ABC" width=15%|[[Mario|Mario (Musician)]]
 
|rowspan=6 style="border-top:1px solid #FFF; border-bottom:1px solid #FFF;"|
When counting R, T, and R/T variants separately from their normal counterparts, the total number of courses in the game is 541.

! style="background: #ABC" width=15%|[[Princess Peach|Peach (Kimono)]]
Prior to the [[{{Tour80}}]], with some exceptions, city courses were added with all four variants in the same tour, while all other courses were first added without the R/T variant, which would then release in a subsequent tour whose exclusive additions were R/T variants. From the {{Tour80}} onwards, all courses added to the game would debut all four variants at once upon introduction, much like the city courses (with the exception of GBA Bowser's Castle 4, which debuted with only its normal and R variants).

====New====
There are seventeen original courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'', referred to as "[[new course]]s". If each individual route is counted separately, the total increases to forty-seven.
=====City courses=====
44 of the 53 new courses are based on real cities. There are fourteen cities represented in the game, namely [[New York City]], [[Tokyo]], [[Paris]], [[London]], [[Vancouver]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Berlin]], [[Sydney]], [[Singapore]], [[Amsterdam]], [[List of implied locations#Thailand|Bangkok]], [[Athens]], [[Rome]], and [[Madrid]]. These courses each have three unique routes that have the racers going through different areas of the city; additionally, New York Minute and Tokyo Blur each have an additional fourth route that brings together all of the paths from the other three routes into one long lap.

==Items==
=====Other courses=====
===Item Box items===
In addition to the city courses are seven original courses that are not based on a real location, one of which has three different routes akin to the game's city courses. Despite the fact that Sky-High Sundae, Yoshi's Island, and Squeaky Clean Sprint officially debuted in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', they are labeled and marketed as new courses for ''Mario Kart Tour'' as well, including in internal data.<ref>A number of internal text strings in ''Mario Kart Tour'' (<tt>ArrowMobyi</tt>, <tt>ArrowSignMobyi</tt>, <tt>FlowerRingMobyi</tt>, <tt>HeyhoMobyi</tt>, <tt>RoadAppearMobyi</tt>, and <tt>RoadPartsMobyi</tt>) refer to map objects that are seen in the Yoshi's Island course; they are referred to as belonging to <tt>Mobyi</tt>, indicating that the course has the <tt>Mob</tt> [[New course#Platform codes|platform code]], used for courses originating from ''Mario Kart Tour''.</ref>
Items function mostly the same as in previous installments in the series. As in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', every character has their own special item that most other characters cannot get. A large change to the item system is introduced; depending on the character and course they're used on, players can get one to three items at once. In the case that a character gets three of the same item, they will activate the new Frenzy Mode, in which they immediately activate a [[Super Star|Star]] and can use unlimited supplies of the respective item until the invincibility runs out. Any item can appear in Frenzy Mode, except for the Star, which is exclusive to certain bonus challenges.

The game introduces six new items to the series, being the [[Bubble]], the [[Banana Barrels]], the [[Mushroom Cannon]], the [[Coin Box]], the [[Dash Ring]], and the [[Bob-omb Cannon]], all of which are character-exclusive items.

====Remix====
''Mario Kart Tour'' introduces a new category of course called [[remix course]]s, which have the "RMX" prefix prepended to their names. These courses have their designs taken from the ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' course environments (with the exception of RMX Bowser's Castle 1, which is instead based on {{classic-link|GBA|Bowser's Castle 1}}), but feature a completely new layout, with each one centering around a particular obstacle (namely the blocks in RMX Mario Circuit 1, the [[ramp]]s in the RMX Choco Island courses, the [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|Star Ring]]s in RMX Rainbow Road 1, the [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s in RMX Rainbow Road 2, the [[Water Geyser]]s in RMX Vanilla Lake 1, the igloos in RMX Vanilla Lake 2, the stairs in RMX Ghost Valley 1, the conveyor belts in RMX Bowser's Castle 1, and the lily pads in RMX Donut Plains 1). There are ten remix courses in the game.

====Classic====
There are 72 [[classic course]]s in ''Mario Kart Tour'' (73 if counting [[N64 Kalimari Desert|N64 Kalimari Desert 2]] separately from N64 Kalimari Desert). There are no classic courses from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', making this the first mainline ''Mario Kart'' game since ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' to not have at least one classic course from every previous mainline ''Mario Kart'' game. Despite this, several classic courses that appeared in ''Mario Kart 8'' retain much of their design and layout from that game's version of the course, though others do not. ''Mario Kart Tour'' features three fifths of all courses featured in the mainline series prior to ''Mario Kart 8''.
 
Like in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] banners for certain classic courses use the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. The courses from SNES to GCN, as well as remix courses, use an updated version of the classic logo, while the courses from DS to 3DS, as well as the second section of N64 Kalimari Desert 2 and the second banner in the R/T variant of [[GCN Baby Park]], use the current logo. [[GCN DK Mountain|DK Mountain]] is an exception to this, as despite it being a GCN course, the banner uses the current logo instead of the updated classic logo.
=====''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' ([[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]])=====
Fifteen courses return from ''Super Mario Kart'', with the only absent courses from this game being [[Bowser Castle 1]], [[Bowser Castle 2]], [[Koopa Beach 1]], [[Mario Circuit 4]], and [[Ghost Valley 3]].
 
Mario Circuit 1, Choco Island 2, Donut Plains 1, and Koopa Troopa Beach 2 return as classic courses from ''Mario Kart DS'', Ghost Valley 2 and Mario Circuit 3 return from ''Mario Kart Wii'', Mario Circuit 2 and Rainbow Road return from ''Mario Kart 7'' (with Rainbow Road also returning from ''Mario Kart 8''), Donut Plains 3 returns from ''Mario Kart 8'', and Ghost Valley 1, Choco Island 1, Donut Plains 2, Vanilla Lake 1, Bowser Castle 3, and Vanilla Lake 2 make their 3D debut as classic courses.

===Inventory items===
=====''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' ([[Nintendo 64|N64]])=====
These items are collected throughout the course of the game through various means, such as challenges, log-in bonuses, and Tour Gifts.
Eight courses return from ''Mario Kart 64'', with Frappe Snowland and Choco Mountain returning as classic courses from ''Mario Kart DS'', Mario Raceway returning from ''Mario Kart Wii'', Luigi Raceway, Koopa Troopa Beach, and Kalimari Desert returning from ''Mario Kart 7'', and Royal Raceway and Yoshi Valley returning from ''Mario Kart 8''. This game also notably introduces a second variation of Kalimari Desert known as Kalimari Desert 2, which, despite being a reroute of the original Kalimari Desert new to ''Mario Kart Tour'', is categorized as an N64 course in-game.

|A hazard that periodically spouts a column of water. Racers caught by the water are sprung high into the air and receive a Jump Boost. In New York Minute, water erupts from underneath manhole covers, while in GCN Dino Dino Jungle they emerge from raised cracks in the road. Jump Boosts can be performed when driving over the cracks, while they are only performed over manhole covers when they are shaking.

==Bonus challenges==
=====''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' ([[Wii]])=====
Bonus challenges are similar to the Missions mode from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and the [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments|tournaments]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and are found at the end of each cup. In contrast to races, these challenges offer 3 Grand stars instead of 5 when completed with the highest score needed. In most cases the game will set the character for the challenge, giving them the [[Pipe Frame]] and the [[Super Glider]], even if the player hasn't obtained him or her yet.
Nine courses return from ''Mario Kart Wii''. Mushroom Gorge, Coconut Mall, Koopa Cape, and Maple Treeway return as classic courses from ''Mario Kart 7'' (with Coconut Mall also returning from the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass''), while DK Summit, Daisy Circuit, Dry Dry Ruins, Moonview Highway, and Rainbow Road make their debut as classic courses.

===Battle courses===
There are five battle courses in the game, consisting of two new courses and three returning from previous installments, including one each from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and ''Mario Kart DS''. Similar to the battle courses in ''Mario Kart 8'', the new battle courses are repurposed from their corresponding city courses, albeit with more restricted pathways that can be taken. Among the returning courses, Cookie Land and Twilight House return as classic battle courses from ''Mario Kart Wii'' while Battle Course 1 returns from ''Mario Kart 7''. Rather than each battle course having unique background music, they all use ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s arrangement of [[SNES Battle Course 1]]'s music.

==Tours==
{{main|List of tours in Mario Kart Tour}}
Each tour consists of a series of cups, with each cup containing three courses and a bonus challenge. The featured character of the cup has the preference for every course in it increased by one tier. There are also special Team Rally tours that happen once every six or seven tours, during which all drivers are divided into two teams. Each team has a team captain, which is the driver the team is named after. At the start of a Team Rally tour, the player must choose one of the two teams to join. During a Team Rally, players can collect [[event token|team token]]s on courses, with the winning team being whichever collects the most total team tokens by the end of the tour.
 
==Drivers==
{{main|List of drivers in Mario Kart Tour}}
{{see also|Mario Kart Tour in-game statistics}}
Counting each character variant and Mii Racing Suit separately, there are {{MKT drivers}}<!-- If the number is outdated, update the template instead of changing it here --> playable characters in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the largest number of playable characters in a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game. Notable new playable characters to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series include [[Peachette]], [[Pauline]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Boomerang Bro]], [[Fire Bro]], [[Ice Bro]], [[Monty Mole]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Captain Toad]], [[Nabbit]], [[King Bob-omb]], [[Kamek]], [[Chargin' Chuck]], and [[Poochy]], with Ice Bro and King Bob-omb also making their first appearances overall as playable characters. Some characters return as playable to the series after being absent from multiple installments: [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] is playable for the first time since ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', [[Petey Piranha]] is playable for the first time since ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and [[Diddy Kong]], [[Birdo]], and [[Funky Kong]] are playable for the first time since ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Excluding characters not from the ''Super Mario'' franchise, only two playable characters from previous mainline ''Mario Kart'' games do not return in ''Mario Kart Tour'', namely [[Koopa Paratroopa]] from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and [[Honey Queen]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.
 
[[Mii]]s also return from previous ''Mario Kart'' games, debuting in the [[Mii Tour (2022)|2022 Mii Tour]]. Like in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', they have a multitude of different racing suits they can wear; however, each suit now has its own [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]]. There are 65 suits, with at least one new suit being added in each tour from the 2022 Mii Tour until the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]].
 
Upon launching the game for the first time, players will be given either [[Toad]] or [[Toadette]]. After the tutorial, they are granted a free [[Pipe Cannon|pipe]] launch which grants Peachette, [[Metal Mario]], or [[Dry Bowser]].<ref>Hydra. (March 8, 2022). [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/841452063128420363/950577582414376980/Screenshot_20220307-211412_Discord.jpg Mario Kart Tour Server]. ''Discord''. Retrieved March 8, 2022.</ref><ref>kaidragon77. (September 27, 2019). [https://youtu.be/Bq45HtNt9yI ''Mario Kart Tour'' - Dry Bowser Gameplay]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved August 17, 2020.</ref> The Red Mii Racing Suit is also given as a free gift for players. [[Gold Mario]] is the only playable character in [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] mode, which was the only mode in which he was playable until the 2023 Anniversary Tour; he has the unique ability to draw in nearby [[coin]]s to himself, with this having a larger radius in Coin Rush than otherwise.
 
Unlike in other ''Mario Kart'' games, characters are sorted by the rarity of unlocking them. There are three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. While the Normal characters are easier to unlock, rarer characters have a greater number of starting points and have more [[List of favored and favorite courses in Mario Kart Tour|favored and favorite courses]].
 
The only differences between drivers in the main statistics affect acceleration and weight, and depend on the driver's size class.<ref name=Move">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Bn-0MvrH4XNvX1nKrnsRETSiPhXacZuFkU_sGUbpYQ/edit?usp=sharing A human readable transcription of the main content of the ''KartParamVehicleMove'' container].</ref>
[[File:MKT character screen.png|thumb|800px|center|The driver selection screen as it appears in-game]]
 
==Karts, gliders, and tires==
{{main|List of karts in Mario Kart Tour|List of gliders in Mario Kart Tour|Tire#Mario Kart Tour}}
There are a total of {{MKT karts}} [[kart]]s and {{MKT gliders}} [[glider]]s in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the most of any ''Mario Kart'' game. Several karts and gliders return from previous installments, though new ones also appear alongside variants of existing ones; these variants share their in-game model, differing by textures, and are grouped together within the internal files. Like drivers, karts and gliders are organized by three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. Each kart and glider has its own [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] that provides specific benefits during a race; karts give bonus points for performing a particular technique while gliders increase the chance of obtaining a particular item from Item Boxes as well as the points gained from using that item. Each kart and glider also has its own favored and favorite courses, and using a kart or glider on such courses increases their bonus points multiplier, or combo bonus and combo-time, respectively.
 
Unlike in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', [[tire]]s are not customizable, being set to a specific kart, and have no effect on stats.
 
In battle mode, a new feature allows the player to customize their balloons that appear during the match. However, unlike karts and gliders, these balloon designs are purely aesthetic. There are 34 balloon designs in ''Mario Kart Tour''.
[[File:MKT kart screen.png|thumb|800px|center|The kart selection screen as it appears in-game]]

==Items==
===Frenzy===
{{main|Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour)}}
Depending on the selected driver and course they are used on, players can get one to three items at once. In the case that a character gets three of the same item, they will activate the new Frenzy Mode, in which they immediately activate [[Super Star]] power, and can charge all the Mini-Turbo stages much more quickly and can use unlimited supplies of the respective item until the invincibility runs out. Any item can appear in Frenzy Mode, except for the Star, which is exclusive to certain bonus challenges.
 
The probability of obtaining a Frenzy depends on the current position and lap and on the driver chosen. In particular, the current position and lap define a base probability that is then summed to a bonus depending on the rarity and skill level of the driver chosen. The resulting probability is capped at 50%, even if the sum exceeds said value.
 
The following is the base probability of a Frenzy in single player races used in the [[Halloween Tour (2020)|2020 Halloween Tour]]:<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bruNYtUPwGyNs2qLz7-FeiHYMJyuxVkHY3e6Sj6rgWc/edit?usp=sharing A human-readable transcription of the main content of the ''ItemSlotTable'' container].</ref>

Items function mostly the same as in previous installments in the series. As in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', every character has their own [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] that most other characters cannot obtain. By upgrading drivers to certain levels, they can obtain improved special items: Normal drivers to level 7, Super drivers to level 5 or higher, and High-End drivers to level 4 or higher.
 
The game introduces eleven new items to the series: the [[Double Bob-ombs]], the [[Ice Flower]], the [[Bubble]], the [[Banana Barrels]], the [[Mushroom Cannon]], the [[Coin Box]], the [[Dash Ring]], the [[Bob-omb Cannon]], the [[Giga Bob-omb]], the [[Super Bell]], and the [[Capsule]], all of which are character-exclusive items. Several items also return in this game after a long absence from the series, including [[Bowser's Shell]], [[Yoshi's Egg]]/[[Birdo's Egg]], the [[Giant Banana]], the [[Heart (item)|Heart]], and the [[Mega Mushroom]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''; the former four (from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'') are all special items, while the lattermost is a regular item. Additionally, the [[Hammer]] item from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)#Arcade games|Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' series appears in this game for the first time in a non-arcade ''Mario Kart'' game as a special item, though its functions are different. The [[Lucky Seven]] and [[Super Leaf]], which were both absent in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', also return in this game as special items.
 
The probabilities used in single player mode outside of Frenzies are reported. It is possible that the first item boxes of the races use different probabilities. The probability of common items can be increased by using gliders with the respective item skill. The actual probability is calculated as (item probability + glider bonus)/(sum of the probabilities of the eligible items); when no item can be obtained, a [[Coin]] is obtained instead. For the detailed probabilities of obtaining an item when an Item Box is opened, see [[Mario Kart Tour item probability distributions|''Mario Kart Tour'' item probability distributions]].

==Challenges==
{{see also|List of badges in Mario Kart Tour}}
Challenges are objectives the player can complete to earn various badges and rewards depending on the type, of which there are three: Standard Challenges, long-term challenges the player accomplishes throughout the course of the game; and Tour and Gold Challenges, challenges that last for the duration of the tour, the latter of which are exclusive to Gold Pass members. Completing Standard Challenges awards the player with rubies, while Tour and Gold Challenges award extra Grand Stars. Each challenge card holds nine challenges aligned in a 3×3 grid, and for every bingo the player acquires (i.e. any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal match), they earn 50 coins (100 coins for Standard Challenges). The player also receives a reward upon completing an entire challenge card.
 
The following are the Standard Challenges in the game. For the tour-specific challenges, see [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour|List of tours in ''Mario Kart Tour'']].

==Differences from previous ''Mario Kart'' games==

* This is the first ''Mario Kart'' game where every character is unlockable.
These items are collected throughout the course of the game through various means, such as challenges, log-in bonuses, and Tour Gifts.
* The number of racers has reverted back to eight, like in all games up to ''Mario Kart DS'' and in ''Mario Kart 7''.
{|class="wikitable"width=100%
* Races consist of two laps instead of three.
|-
* Racers, karts and gliders can be leveled up.
!width=25%|Image
* On the last lap, the music continues where it left off when the alarm sounds, instead of restarting. It is also increased by four tones rather than one.
!width=10%|Name
* Lakitu does not appear at all throughout the race.
!Description
* Stars are not obtainable from regular item boxes.

==Reception==
|Coins gathered during races are used to purchase items and characters in shops. Only 300 coins (or 600 coins for Gold Pass subscribers) can be obtained in normal races per day. Players can obtain additional coins from challenge rewards, Coin Rush, and other methods once the cap has been reached.
Initial impressions of the beta have been mixed. Journalists have praised the gameplay and graphics, but have criticized the free-to-play gacha elements of the game. Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica has compared the game's in-app purchases to Spiny Shells, blowing up the classic ''Mario Kart'' experience. He has suggested that "the developers pick a side: attach an annoying economy to a deeper control scheme and more legitimate online options, or make it cheaper and less obnoxious to watch Mario drive himself."<ref name=Arstechnica>Machkovech, Sam.

==Course elements==
{{rewrite-expand|section=y|include more course, bonus challenges and Coin Rush appearances}}
===Interactable course elements===
The following table lists elements that slow racers down, crash them, offer them a [[Jump Boost]] and/or simply give them bonus points when interacted with in a certain way. For ways to interact with these elements for bonus points, see [[Mario Kart Tour race points system#Object interactions|''Mario Kart Tour'' race points system § Object interactions]].


==Pre-release and unused content==
'''Note:''' Statements that an obstacle causes drivers to crash, spin out, or otherwise slow down on contact typically hold only when said drivers are in a default state. In most cases, drivers are unaffected by obstacles if they are undergoing {{wp|Glossary of video game terms#invincibility frames|invincibility frames}} or are under the effects of a [[Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour)|Frenzy]], [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Bullet Bill]], or [[Super Star]]. The only obstacles that can still slow drivers down regardless of their state are those that are solid objects and cannot be taken out by any means ([[Bumper (Mario Kart series)|bumpers]], [[Flipper (Mario Kart series)|flippers]], [[Walking Tree]]s, windmills etc.).

|{{anchor|Warp Pipe A}}An obstacle that slows down any racer who collides with it. Pipes are spread throughout the track, usually in off-road sections. Piranha Plants and Inky Piranha Plants commonly occupy them, and some [[truck]]s carry Piranha Plants in pipes.

==Bonus challenges==
Bonus challenges are similar to the Missions mode from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and the [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments|tournaments]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and are found at the end of each cup. In contrast to races, these challenges offer 3 Grand Stars instead of 5 when completed with the highest score needed. The game will set the character for the challenge, even if the player has not obtained them yet, and give them the [[Pipe Frame]] and the [[Super Glider]], though this rule does not apply for all Big Reverse Races and Vs. Mega (opponent) challenges. The numbers in the table indicate the number of times that bonus challenge appears in each tour.

==Differences in power-saving mode==
There are some minor and major differences in the game's menus and race courses when it is set to "power-saving" mode, to maintain device performance (in older supported phone models) and decrease battery usage.
;General differences
*Opponents do not have any animations nor do they emit voices.
*The minimap does not appear in races.
*The models for the drivers have low quality textures.
*Course textures are less detailed.
*The sound effect of passing through Dash Rings is present only if they were activated by the player.
*The Shy Guys, Yoshis, and Toads that are normally found along the sidelines of several courses are absent, though they can still be heard.
*The screen has a lower resolution, resulting in slightly pixelated graphics.
*Trees are swapped out for lower-detail models.
*In some courses, models adding extra detail get removed. This is particularly noticeable in [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur]] right after passing the {{wp|National Diet Building}}, where every building in the background except for one is removed.
;Course-specific differences
*In [[SNES Ghost Valley 1]], [[SNES Ghost Valley 2]], [[DS Luigi's Mansion]], and [[RMX Ghost Valley 1]], the decorative [[Boo]]s in the sky are absent.
*In [[SNES Choco Island 1]], [[SNES Choco Island 2]], [[GBA Sunset Wilds]], DS Luigi's Mansion, [[RMX Choco Island 1]], and [[RMX Choco Island 2]], the brightness of the mud is absent.
*In [[N64 Kalimari Desert]] and N64 Kalimari Desert 2, the sandy wind that normally blows across the desert is absent.
*In [[DS DK Pass]], [[N64 Frappe Snowland]], [[SNES Vanilla Lake 1]], [[Merry Mountain]], [[RMX Vanilla Lake 1]], [[SNES Vanilla Lake 2]], and [[RMX Vanilla Lake 2]], the falling snow is absent.
*In [[3DS Neo Bowser City]] and [[GBA Luigi Circuit]], the rain is absent, including its ground and screen effects.
*In [[Wii Maple Treeway]], the petals on the water and the falling leaves are absent.
*In [[3DS Bowser's Castle]], the volcanic eruption in the background is absent.
*In [[Wii Mushroom Gorge]], the small glowing particles in the cave are absent.
*In [[GCN Daisy Cruiser]], the wind and water visual effects intended to make the ship appear as if it is moving are absent.
*In [[GCN DK Mountain]], both volcanoes are dormant instead of erupting.
*In [[Tour Amsterdam Drift|Amsterdam Drift 3]], the tulips in the flower field are completely absent.
*In [[Wii Rainbow Road]], the pinpricks of light streaming along the course's route are absent.
*In [[Wii Dry Dry Ruins]], every instance of falling sand except for those tied to the rising sand piles is absent.
*In [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]], the interior of the [[Clear Pipe]] section is opaque; however, it remains transparent from the outside.
 
==Updates==
{{main|Mario Kart Tour update history}}
===Version 3.4.1===
'''Release date:''' September 28, 2023
<i><blockquote>
*Addressed known issues.
</blockquote></i>
 
==Differences from previous ''Mario Kart'' games==
*''Mario Kart Tour'' is the only ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game where every character must technically be unlocked, and where there is no set starting roster.
*It is also the only game to not have a Grand Prix mode, with every fortnightly Tour containing a reshuffled selection of [[Cup]]s, and Cups containing three courses and one bonus challenge to be played in any order.
*The number of players in each race has reverted back to eight, like in all mainline games up to ''Mario Kart DS'' and in ''Mario Kart 7''.
*Apart from [[GCN Baby Park]] and [[3DS Rainbow Road]], all races consist of two laps/sections, as opposed to the usual three.
*Drivers, karts and gliders can be leveled up.
*The music continues from where it leaves off after the final lap fanfare plays, instead of restarting like in past games.
**The only exception to this is 3DS Rainbow Road, which reuses its final lap music from ''Mario Kart 7'' and always begins at the start of the song.
**On the final lap, for most courses the music's pitch is increased by four semitones rather than one as in the other games since ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. The exceptions are [[Merry Mountain]] and [[Tour Bangkok Rush|Bangkok Rush]], which are pitched up by one, [[Rome Avanti]], which is pitched up by three, and [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]], which is pitched up by two.
*Percussion is not heard in the music when the player is in 1st place like in ''Mario Kart 7'' and ''Mario Kart 8''.
*[[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] does not appear at the beginning of or throughout races.
**Starting from the [[New Year's 2021 Tour]], the Lakitu referee in his festive attire appears as a playable driver known as "Lakitu (Party Time)".<ref>[https://mobile.twitter.com/mariokarttourEN/status/1344168842902315010 Post about the drivers of the New Year's 2021 Tour from the official English ''Mario Kart Tour'' Twitter account]</ref>
*Stars are not obtainable from regular item boxes in single player mode, with [[Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour)|item Frenzies]] having similar effects instead. However, in multiplayer mode, stars appear from item boxes in rulesets with fewer than three item slots (as Frenzies are not obtainable).
*For the first time since ''Super Mario Kart'', [[Triple Red Shells]] are absent. This is likely due to how using multi-items (such as the [[Triple Mushrooms]] or the [[Lucky Seven]]) sends out all of their items at once, which would be useless for items that always lock onto the next racer.
*This is the first ''Mario Kart'' game since ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' to have numbered new courses (e.g. Tokyo Blur '''3''') and the first ''Mario Kart'' game to feature numbered variants of classic courses (namely N64 Kalimari Desert '''2''').
**Unlike in the previous games, these numbered courses take place in the same map, but use a different course layout: the starting line is in the same location (with the exceptions of [[Los Angeles Laps]], [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]], and [[Piranha Plant Cove]]), but the courses split off from each other onto different routes. Some variants, such as [[Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity 2]] and [[Tour Sydney Sprint|Sydney Sprint 2]], have racers crossing the starting line in the opposite direction of the other variants.
***The remix courses feature numbers in their names as well, though in that case when the number changes the map layout changes as well.
*For the first time since ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]] is absent, as it is functionally replaced by the [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] Frenzy.
*Multiple items can be received from a single item box.
*This is the first ''Mario Kart'' game to lack losing themes and animations after races; the same theme and animations play for any placement below 1st. However, losing voice lines for most of the characters can be found in the game's files.
*Courses, karts, and gliders that had different names between American and British English in previous games instead only use their American English names, with the exception of the [[B Dasher Mk. 2]], which only uses its British English name.
*Karts that originally had moving parts (not counting tires), such as the tentacles on the Super Blooper and the blower on the Flame Flyer, no longer have them move.
*If an opponent hits the player with any item, the screen will display the word "Ouch!" with the icon of the opponent's current driver displayed above it.
**Likewise if a player hits the opponent, the side of the screen will display the word "Hit!" with the icon of the opponent's driver and the item they got hit by.
*The item warning sound effects differs between certain items. The warning sound effect from ''Mario Kart 8'' is used when targeted by a homing item (Red Shell, Yoshi's Egg, or Birdo Egg) and when an opponent behind the player is under the effects of a Star, Mega Mushroom, or Bullet Bill. The homing item warning sound effect from ''Mario Kart Wii'' is used when targeted by a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]].
*Various sound effects, such as the item roulette, [[Jump Boost]]s, and when the player's current placement changes, are taken from ''Mario Kart DS'' (for the former), ''Mario Kart Wii'', and ''Mario Kart 7'' rather than from ''Mario Kart 8''.
 
==Glitches==
===Opponents' drivers get stuck in multiplayer battles===
Certain connection errors in multiplayer battles cause opponents to dissociate from their players and drive straight into the first wall they encounter, where they remain stuck until the time runs out or the player who experiences this bug strikes them out.<ref>LeastGeneral9415 (November 6, 2022).

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
Initial impressions of the beta were mixed. Journalists praised the gameplay and graphics, but criticized the free-to-play gacha elements of the game. Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica compared the game's in-app purchases to Spiny Shells, blowing up the classic ''Mario Kart'' experience. He suggested that "the developers pick a side: attach an annoying economy to a deeper control scheme and more legitimate online options, or make it cheaper and less obnoxious to watch [[Mario]] drive himself".<ref name=Arstechnica>Machkovech, Sam (May 22, 2019).

''Ars Technica''. Retrieved May 23, 2019.</ref> Ethan Gach of Kotaku also stated that the game is "a mostly faithful but stripped-down recreation of ''Mario Kart'' decked out with all the microtransactions and lottery mechanics mobile games are infamous for" and also lamented the lack of a multiplayer mode.<ref>Gach, Ethan (May 22, 2019).

The game's reception on release was mixed to negative. Andrew Webster of The Verge praised how intuitive using items is, while criticizing the controls, calling them imprecise, and the game's monetization, stating that "The problem is so much of the game feels designed around monetization, as opposed to just being a fun game".<ref>Webster, Andrew (September 26, 2019).

Retrieved March 31, 2020.</ref> Chris Scullion of Nintendo Life gave a positive review, praising the lack of an energy system, the points system, and the amount of cups, while criticizing the time required to get used to the controls, the gyro controls, and listing the game's monetization as a con, stating that opinions on the game's monetization will vary for each person, while arguing that "It's rubbish to an extent, absolutely, but despite the outrage you may be seeing in some circles, it's no different to any other game with a loot box system; it's always nearly impossible to guarantee you'll get the exact thing you want" when talking about the game's gacha mechanics, and that "More than the gacha system, the Gold Pass is gaining a lot more controversy than it really should be, with some misunderstanding what it does and assuming this subscription service is necessary in some way. To be clear, it really isn't, and absolutely won't be of interest to 99% of the player base." when talking about the game's Gold Pass subscription.<ref>Scullion, Chris (September 26, 2019).

Retrieved March 31, 2019.</ref> CJ Andriessen of Destructoid gave a negative review, criticizing the game's microtransactions and how the game rarely gives the player Rubies, stating "''[Mario Kart] Tour''{{'}}s fatal flaw is it's continually pushing players into ham-fisted situations where they have to spend money rather than creating a game so exceptional they'll ''want'' to spend money", the limitations on unlocking, collecting, or upgrading certain things, and the game's controls, while praising the variations to courses, though noting that "there is still a bit of disappointment when you wait a day to unlock a new cup only to find it's [[3DS Daisy Hills|Daisy Hills]] ''again''", the [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]] track, and that Nintendo at the time of the article's publication planned to add more new tracks to the game, though noting that "One of the great joys of any ''Mario Kart'' title is seeing what types of new courses the developers have designed and that joy just isn't present in ''[Mario Kart] Tour''."<ref>Andriessen, CJ (September 29, 2019).

|"''This doesn't mean Mario Kart Tour won't be successful. In fact, early signs point to the game having a record-breaking launch. But that success isn't because the game is good, and it's especially disappointing from a company that prides itself on quality. Mobile aside, Nintendo is at a creative high point, regularly launching major Switch games to near-universal acclaim. They're games that sell hardware and help players think differently about what games can be. On console, Nintendo sets its own pace; on mobile, it follows.''"

|"''Get used to Mario Kart Tour's unconventional control system and ignore its overpriced and unnecessary subscription service and you're left with a fun, free mobile take on the series. It was never going to replace Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but by not including an energy system and promising regular new content Nintendo is at least offering a decent alternative to pass the time when you're out and about without your Switch.''"

|"''Mario Kart Tour stalls right from the starting line. It lacks the competitive thrills of other Mario Kart games, focusing more on an endless series of unlockable virtual things to acquire.
 
''But it appears that a full multiplayer mode is coming to Mario Kart Tour, which may provide more thrills than chasing AI-controlled kart racers and the daily drip feed of currency. For now, however, this is hardly a vital addition to Nintendo’s library of games, mobile or otherwise.''"

|"''Mario Kart Tour is a blemish on the franchise it shares its name with. The genre-defining creativity found in past entries is completely absent here, replaced by a hollow experience that's simply coasting on the name and goodwill of the games that came before it. I can only hope this is Nintendo's mobile initiative hitting rock bottom, and that it's all uphill from here. Because I can't stand the thought of another one of my favorite series having its reputation dragged the mud{{sic}} in search of a quick buck.''"

|"''The actual gameplay and racing of Mario Kart Tour is well done: controlling the karts feels good, the courses and characters look and sound great, and playing simplified one-handed Mario can be a lot of fun. But the road to a mobile version of Mario Kart is a bumpy one. On top of multiplayer not currently being available at all, Nintendo continues to struggle with how to comfortably monetize a mobile game without hamstringing its gameplay. Tour’s prices are prohibitively high and not getting top honors on a race despite winning first place just because you don’t have the right racer or kart feels unfair.''"

|"''If you're someone who doesn't own a Nintendo console and just want a quick Mario Kart fix, I guess this is it. It comes with a lot of roadblocks, and it isn't anywhere near as fun to control as the console games. And for me it just made me want to play Mario Kart 8 again. I disliked Mario Kart Tour. It looks like a quality Mario Kart game, but it isn't particularly fun to play, and the aggressive monetization is so prominent that it intrudes on the experience. The last new Mario Kart game may have been five years ago with Mario Kart 8 on [[Wii U]], but this isn't even worth a pit stop to me. Mario Kart is better than this.''"

In 2022, the official ''Mario Kart Tour'' accounts on Twitter and Facebook conducted two promotional events, called "showdowns", each in the context of a [[Team Rally]] tour. Through a series of rounds, users were asked to pick between a number of subjects related to either of the teams represented in the Team Rally. On Twitter, users could vote their preferred option in polls, with the percentages at the end of a poll's period deciding the winning team of a round. The showdown related to the [[Wario vs. Waluigi Tour]], spanning three rounds, counted the number of rounds won by a particular team, concluding with Team Waluigi as the winner.<ref>{{cite|author=mariokarttourEN|date=February 7, 2022|url=x.com/mariokarttourEN/status/1490596694333194243|title=The final results are in!

Mario Kart Tour is a mobile game in the Mario Kart series. Unlike Super Mario Run, it is free-to-play from the App Store and Google Play. The game reuses many assets from Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8, though its art style is more simple and cartoony. Gameplay mechanics such as gliding, underwater driving, and character-specific special items return from past entries. In addition, the game introduces some features new to the Mario Kart series, such as reverse courses, trick courses, a combo system that grants points based on actions, and the Frenzy mechanic, which allows racers with three item slots to deploy a large amount of any item during a race, including Spiny Shells and Bullet Bills, at random should said item be in all three slots.

The game was first announced during a financial briefing on January 31, 2018.[6] On April 23, 2019, Nintendo opened applications for participating in a closed beta test of the game to Android users in North America and Japan, which began on May 22, 2019, and ended on June 4, 2019.[7] The game officially launched for iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices on September 25, 2019, in 163 territories, which covers nearly the same roster of availability as Super Mario Run, with the exceptions of Belgium and Vietnam, the former of which banned games with loot boxes in 2019 for violating gambling laws.[8] Users who pre-registered acquired the game a day early. Unlike with the previous Super Mario mobile games, a Nintendo Account is required for it to be playable.

On October 31, 2019, Nintendo announced the first multiplayer beta test exclusive to Gold Pass members,[9] which began on December 18, 2019, 11:00 p.m. (PT) and ended on December 26, 2019, 9:59 p.m. (PT). On January 21, 2020, Nintendo announced a second multiplayer beta test for all players, regardless of whether they have a Gold Pass subscription or not,[10] which began on January 22, 2020, 11:00 p.m. (PT) and ended on January 28, 2020, 9:59 p.m. (PT). The second multiplayer beta test allowed players to play with each other in their immediate vicinity based on their device's location data. Finally, on March 2, 2020, Nintendo announced that multiplayer would officially be implemented into the game on March 8, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. (PT).[11]

On September 1, 2022, Nintendo announced that Battle Mode would be added to the game on October 5, 2022.[12] It was released in the eponymous Battle Tour.

The tour occurring in the game changes every two weeks, changing the selection of courses available. For four years after the game's release, new content was added at the start of each tour, such as new courses, drivers, karts, and gliders. On September 11, 2023, it was announced that the 2023 Anniversary Tour would be the final tour to introduce new courses, drivers, karts, and gliders, with later tours being almost identical to previous tours from the Battle Tour onwards.

Gameplay

The goal of the game is to be in first place at the end of each race and get a high score, using items obtained by driving through Item Boxes. The game is played in a portrait or landscape position, while the phone's touch controls are used to play the game, such as dragging the finger across the screen to steer the kart. There are three ways the player can make turns. For the phones supporting it, the gyroscope can be used to steer. The player can choose what action is started when tapping and sliding the fingers on the main area of the screen, with the other action being performed by tapping a small circular button at the bottom and then sliding the fingers if needed. The main setting has the driver jumping every time the screen is tapped, allowing the kart to drift by sliding the fingers. In the other configuration, the kart does not jump when tapping the screen, which results in it steering when sliding the fingers on the screen. After steering for a while, the kart starts auto-drifting and charging Mini-Turbos and Super Mini-Turbos, but not Ultra Mini-Turbos that are only charged when drifting. Similarly to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with auto-accelerate and smart-steering enabled, karts accelerate automatically and can steer players away from walls. The intensity of smart-steering can be changed in the game's settings. If smart-steering is turned off, the player will be able to access most shortcuts without using Mushrooms, albeit slower.

The game's mechanics are based on Mario Kart 7, and many of its courses (both new and retro) return in Mario Kart Tour. A few features from Mario Kart 8 that required substantial changes to the game, such as Bikes, ATVs, anti-gravity, and 12-player races, are missing, while the 200cc class is present. Other features from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, such as auto-accelerate, smart-steering, and Ultra Mini-Turbos return. Unlike previous games, the player cannot customize their tires.

When a race is completed, the player will be awarded with Grand Stars, experience points for the used driver, kart, and glider whose base points are not maxed out, and coins. If the player finishes in the top three places, the gauge to level up will be filled, while if the placement is 5th or lower, the gauge will be dropped. When the gauge is already empty, however, the player will not level down. Only the points gained in the specific course will be lost, meaning that the first race on each course won't make the player lose experience points even if they arrive in 8th place; similarly, each course has an experience points cap. The more experience points have already been gained on a specific course, the fewer experience points will be awarded by arriving in the first three places until the cap is reached. At that point, only the experience points lost due to arriving in 5th place or lower will be regained when arriving in the first three places. The total amount of experience points gained in a course is never reset and is carried to the following tours, forcing the player to drive in new courses to still keep gaining experience points and leveling up.

Grand Stars are awarded depending on whether a certain point threshold has been reached. Experience points for the driver, kart, and glider are awarded depending on the placement. The coins obtained are those collected during the race, plus one additional coin for every 1,000 points obtained during the race. Each day, it is possible to obtain up to 450 experience points for the drivers, karts, and gliders and up to 300 coins by racing (900 experience points and 600 coins when the player is subscribed to the Gold Pass starting with version 2.4.0). When those limits are reached the player cannot obtain experience points or coins by racing until the next day. In order to continue gaining experience points or collecting coins, the player can use point-boost tickets for the former and can play Coin Rush or get rewards from challenges for the latter. Filling up the gauge to level up gives a reward to the player, increases the points earned when reaching a specific placement in the race and, when level 7 or level 12 are reached, allows the player to buy more items in the shop. Currently, the maximum level the player can reach is 400.

3 6 7 8
4 5 6 7

Another premium item, bought with real-life currency according to a monthly subscription model, is the Gold Pass, which grants access to the 200cc engine class, Gold Races (and multiplayer ranks S to S+6), additional items from Tour Gifts, and Gold Challenges. Players can gain rewards by renewing their Gold Pass subscription, such as ten rubies every month and a regular high end from a gold pipe for every three months of continuous subscription.

Every driver, kart, and glider has favorite courses, on which they offer advantages if they are used. Each course has three tiers for each driver, kart, and glider. Third-tier drivers receive one item from every Item Box, second-tier drivers receive two items and first-tier drivers receive three items. Second-tier karts give a bonus points multiplier of 1.5 and first-tier karts give a bonus points multiplier of 2. Second-tier gliders increase the time between two point-gaining actions to count as a combo and give a combo bonus multiplier of 2 and first-tier gliders increase the combo-time even longer and give a combo bonus multiplier of 3. The player can enter a Frenzy by obtaining three of the same item at the same time, which allows the player to temporarily use that item an infinite amount of times in addition to granting them invincibility. Super and High-End drivers, karts, and gliders have a higher number of points gained when choosing them and more preferred courses. In addition, drivers have their own special items, similar to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'s item system. Karts have their own driving-related bonus such as increasing the effectiveness of drifting, while gliders increase the likelihood of obtaining a certain item and the points gained when using said item. All drivers, karts, and gliders can be leveled up, and they all come with upgrades once this occurs. Since the 2.6.0 update, drivers, karts, and gliders are able to upgrade a favored course to a favorite course from being leveled up, with Normal items gaining one after reaching level 6, Super items gaining two after reaching levels 3 and 6, and High-End items gaining four after reaching levels 3 and 6.

The courses the player can play depends on the tour, which changes every two weeks. Since the Battle Tour, each tour has fifteen cups, and adds new drivers, karts, gliders, and courses. Starting with the Baby Rosalina Tour until the 2022 Anniversary Tour, each tour had twelve cups. Starting with the 2019 Paris Tour until the Mario Bros. Tour, each tour had eighteen cups. Starting from the New York Tour until the 2019 Halloween Tour, each tour had sixteen cups. During certain tours, mainly ones themed around real-world locations, the game includes one course that is new to the series. Each cup contains three races and one bonus challenge. Bonus challenges require the player to beat a certain goal with a certain character, kart, and glider. Once each of the courses and the bonus challenge are all played and enough Grand Stars are obtained, the player can move on to the next cup. In later tours, cups are automatically unlocked without any requirements. In Mario Kart Tour, cups are named after the playable characters.

Ranked cup

Every week, one of the tour's cups is a ranked cup. In a ranked cup, the player is placed on a leaderboard based on their overall score in the game against nineteen other players. The player gains a reward for finishing in the top 10 and will increase in tier at the end of the week if their end position is near the top, while they will lose one or two tiers if finishing poorly enough above tier 20. Since the Cooking Tour, tier 25 and up rewards points-cap tickets for the top few positions. These tickets, along with the corresponding point-boost tickets, rotate between driver, kart, and glider tickets on a weekly basis. In some tours, drivers replaced coins in the rewards for moving to a higher tier. Currently, the highest tier the player can reach is 99.

Points

See also: Mario Kart Tour race points system

Points are collected during standard races and are used to gain Grand Stars and to rank players, both overall and in ranked cups. There are three ways of obtaining points in races: base points, bonus points, and position points.

Base points

Base points are given at the beginning of the race and are the sum of the base points of the character, kart and glider selected. They range from 800 to 3020 points (3320 points for Mii Racing Suits). The base points can be increased through experience points obtained at the end of the races or through point-boost tickets that provide 50 experience points each. The experience points are used to fill a gauge that when filled will increase the base points until the maximum amount has been reached. The amount of experience points needed to fill the gauge increases every time the gauge is filled. Since the Cooking Tour, points-cap tickets are added to the game, making it possible to raise the maximum amount of base points of a driver, kart, or glider.

Bonus points

Chargin' Chuck obtaining bonus points by performing a Jump Boost as part of a combo

Bonus points are points awarded every time a special event happens during the race. Said event might be a Jump Boost, gliding for a certain amount of time, finishing the lap in a certain position, hitting opponents or hazards, or various other cases. If a further event happens before about two seconds have passed from the previous one, the combo indicator goes up and the points obtained are increased. The actual time that can pass between one event and the next can be increased by choosing a glider of a higher tier in the course, by choosing a glider of higher rarity, or by leveling up the glider. The number of points given is calculated as follows:

  • Points: (base points of the event × multiplier due to kart tiering in the course × multiplier due to kart rarity and skill level) + combo bonus + bonus point boosts + eventual increase from kart's special skill + eventual increase from glider's special skill

The combo bonus is calculated as follows:

  • Combo bonus: multiplier from glider's tiering in the course × Min{combo count - 1 ; (cc of the engine class) / 10}

For the purpose of the calculation, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc.

The bonus point boost is calculated separately for the driver, kart, and glider chosen that are in the first tier of the course, as follows:

  • Bonus point boost: base points × (skill level - 1) × [(cc of the engine class) / 30000]

In this case as well, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc. If more than 200 events happen, the bonus point boost is not applied from the 201st event onward.

Position points

Position points are awarded to the player depending on their placement at the end of the race. They are calculated as follows:

  • Position points: [(position points due to the level of the player + engine class bonus) × position multiplier] + bonus point boosts for position

The bonus point boost for position is calculated separately for the driver, kart, and glider chosen that are in the first tier of the course, as follows:

  • Bonus point boost for position: base points × (skill level - 1) × number of events that occurred in the race × position multiplier × [(cc of the engine class) / 30000]

As in the other cases, 200cc is considered the same as 150cc.

The engine class bonus is the following:

Engine class bonus 0 200 400 400

The position multiplier depends on the placement at the end of the race and works as follows:

Placement 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Position multiplier 1 0.85 0.75 0.65 0.55 0.45 0.35 0.2

The InterimRankBonus multiplied by the InterimRankBonusRate is the amount of points obtained at the end of the first lap or the first two sections of three-sectioned tracks. The InterimRankBonus has the following values:

InterimRankBonus
Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th
Points 100 80 60 50 40 30 20 10

Finally, the maximum time between events in a combo depends on the base points given by the last action of the combo, with no effect of the combo count, as shown by this combo-related data:

Combo-related parameters (Combo)
Score 5 10 20 30
Time 1.4 1.8 2.1 2.4
ComboScoreAdd 1
ComboScoreRate 0.1

The combo time is calculated as follows:

Combo time = Max{Remaining combo time; Combo time of the last action}

where the combo time of the last action is calculated as follows:

Combo time of the last action = Time × multiplier from glider's tiering in the course × multiplier due to glider rarity and skill level

where the multiplier from the tiering is around 1.45 if the course is one of the favorites of the glider and around 1.225 if the course is favored by the glider, being equal to 1 otherwise, and Time is based on the value reported in the table using intermediate values for intermediate scores (i.e. 1.95 seconds for 15 points and 2.25 seconds for 25 points) and either 1.4 seconds or 2.4 seconds for scores smaller than 5 points and greater than 30 points, respectively.

Auto Mode

Introduced in version 2.6.0, Auto mode is a new option in single-player races that allows the player to spectate in a race fully controlled by the AI. The driver, kart and glider chosen by the player will participate in said race and will be the default AI player followed. The player is able to choose the racer followed by the camera and has control on the relative positioning and zoom of the camera. A button at the bottom allows to take screenshots at the rendering resolution of the game rather than the display resolution of the device. Starting with version 2.8.0, seven additional filters can be applied to the camera. When the race ends, the Coins and event tokens (but not team tokens) collected by the chosen driver are given to the player, along with the obtained experience points of the driver, kart and glider. The experience points of the player will instead remain unaffected, regardless of the outcome of the race. One additional filter, the Pop Art filter, has been added at the start of the Princess Tour.

Collectibles and currencies

Grand Stars

Grand Stars are the main collectibles related to individual tours. Up to five of them can be earned by reaching certain point thresholds in each standard race and up to three of them can be earned by clearing specific goals in each bonus challenge. Furthermore, clearing Tour Challenges and Gold Challenges will reward the players with Grand Stars as well. Finally, using a star ticket will reward a Grand Star per ticket used. Up until the Peach vs. Daisy Tour, clearing the daily challenge each day did also warrant a Grand Star.

They are used to unlock gifts. In the past, they were also used to unlock cups. When the last gift is obtained, coins are rewarded in place of Grand Stars, and when a new tour starts, the Grand Stars obtained are reset to zero.

Rubies

Rubies are the main premium currency of Mario Kart Tour. They can be purchased with real-life currency at the Shop, but can also be obtained as daily login bonuses, as a player level up bonus, as part of tour gifts, as a reward for the ranked cup, or as a reward for Standard Challenges, Premium Challenges, or special challenges.

Rubies can be used in three different ways: to buy Spotlight items, to buy Mii Racing Suits, or to play Coin Rush mode.

Coins

Coin Rush mode during the Bangkok Tour
Gold Mario in Coin Rush during the Bangkok Tour

Coins are collected during a race and rewarded for the number of points obtained during said race, up to 300 per day (600 if the player has the Gold Pass). In a single race, the amount of coins earned is

Coins earned = coins obtained during the race + floor((total points earned in the race)/1000)

The coins obtained during the race are capped at 99, while no cap on the coins obtained through points is known.

Besides the main way of obtaining coins, they can also be obtained in Coin Rush and in several rewards, such as obtaining three challenges on a challenge card in a row, column or diagonal line, in gifts, as daily login bonuses, as player level up bonuses, as a replacement for Grand Stars or items at the maximum level, while waiting for Multiplayer races, as rewards for ranked cup placements and friend ranking. Also, friends can send five greeting coins to each other every day.

In Coin Rush, the player can spend rubies to obtain a great number of coins. Over 300 coins are found in the course. For each tour, another course is available in Coin Rush. Gold Mario is the regular driver, and the Gold Standard is the regular kart driven. The coins obtained from Coin Rush are multiplied by a certain number, depending on how many rubies a player has spent.

During the Cooking Tour, the Coins Aplenty Event was added to the game. This event gives the player twenty-four hours to obtain a large number of coins from a certain cup, which varies between players. 300 coins are awarded at the end of the first race on each course in the cup during the duration of the event, for a total of 900 guaranteed extra coins from the event; these coins do not count towards the daily cap of 300 coins from races. In addition, the daily cap is ignored on each of these three races, providing three extra opportunities to score coins beyond the cap if it has already been reached. These events are held every Saturday and Tuesdays (the latter day has been added since the Super Mario Kart Tour). Starting from the 2021 Autumn Tour, the number of coins is raised to 500 and held every Saturday, though in the Toad vs. Toadette Tour, the coin amount returned to 300 and the schedule reverted to every Saturday and Tuesday.

Coins are mainly used in the Daily Selects section of the shop.

Tokens

Introduced in the Wild West Tour, event tokens are a special type of coins that can be collected during events. The way to collect event tokens differs from event to event. The different ways to collect event tokens are:

  • Collecting from courses.
  • Landing hits with shells.
  • Landing hits with Bob-ombs.
  • Landing hits with bananas.
  • Causing opponents to crash.
  • Performing Mini-Turbos.
  • Keeping combo bonuses.

Some tours feature a Team Rally event, in which the player can collect team tokens. Team tokens can always be collected from courses, when the player races with a driver that is part of the chosen team. At the end of a race with a driver from the player's team, the player will be rewarded with additional team tokens for every 1,000 points they collected during the race. If the player's team has won the race, the player will get even more additional team tokens as a reward.

Since the 2021 Autumn Tour, the Token Aplenty Event is held every Monday (formerly every Tuesday in the 2021 Autumn Tour and the 2021 Halloween Tour). This event is similar to the Coins Aplenty Event, but instead of being rewarded with a fixed amount of coins at the end of the race the player will get a random amount of event tokens (or team tokens, when the event takes place during a Team Rally), ranging from 50 to 300.

Event tokens and team tokens are used in the Token section of the Shop.

Pipes

Pipes can shoot out a driver, kart, or glider, all of which have their own rarities. A pipe contains a determined probability distribution of Normal, Super, and High-End items, all of which are chosen randomly within their class and rarity. It is possible that a player obtains an item from a pipe that already has been obtained; when this happens, the level gauge of that item will be increased by one unit. Usually, if the pipe is about to shoot out a High-End item, it will be golden instead of green (sometimes, however, it might occur that a green pipe shoots out a High-End item).

As of the Wild West Tour, the player can shoot out one random regular High-End item from an All-Clear Pipe once in a tour, as soon as they have finished every cup from the tour. The list below shows all of the available items from the All-Clear Pipe as of the Battle Tour.

As of the Wedding Tour, regular login bonuses are replaced with Today's Challenge in which the player must complete a race on a pre-selected course with a pre-selected driver, kart, and glider. After completing this daily race, the player can shoot out a free pipe launch (except on day 14) which can contain regular items, as well as rubies, coins, and item tickets. The player receives a special blue-colored badge on day 14 as a reward for playing on every day of the given tour. Until the Anniversary Tour (2022), the player received 5 rubies on days 5 and 10, in stead of a free pipe pull.

Since the Samurai Tour, the player can buy pipe launches in the Token Shop. In some tours, also golden pipes can be bought in the Token Shop.

Since the Battle Tour, pipes appear as Tour gifts and Gold Gifts. Some of the pipes that appear as Gold Gifts are golden.

Multiplayer

Rank icons for Mario Kart Tour
The grading system in multiplayer mode, which continues up to S+9.

Multiplayer mode was added to Mario Kart Tour on March 8, 2020, where up to eight human players can play against each other. Players race against each other in three courses in a chosen cup of the current tour, with the cup changing every 13 minutes, allowing the player to race in cups that have not yet been unlocked. There are four sets of rules that interchange daily: 100cc with default item slots, 100cc with two item slots, 150cc with default item slots, and 150cc with two item slots. Matches are also periodically set to be Team Games[14] (not to be confused with Team Rallies), wherein players are randomly divided into two teams and their combined standings at the end of a match decide the winning team. In the "With Friends or Others Nearby" mode, the player can set the rules themselves, including the engine class (50cc, 100cc, or 150cc), number of item slots (1, 2, or default), number of teams (none, 2, 3 or 4), number of races (3, 6, or 12), enabling teams, enabling Friendly-Fire Mode for teams, and inclusion of COM racers. The player can also create a Room and invite players to join it with a code.

Introduced in version 3.0.0, Battle Mode is a mode in multiplayer where players must eliminate each other by popping their balloons. A battle ends if there is only one player remaining, or if the time limit is reached. In the "With Friends or Others Nearby" mode, the rules that the player can set include the number of item slots (1, 2, or default), the option to play with Bob-ombs only or Shells only, number of battles (3, 6, or 12), and inclusion of COM racers.

Multiplayer features a grading system ranging from F to A for regular users, and onward from S to S+9 for Gold Pass subscribers. There are separate grading systems for races and battles. Prior to the version 3.0.0 update in September 2022, the maximum grade was S+6. Until version 3.0.0, multiplayer races were split between Gold Races (exclusive Gold Pass subscribers) and standard races. Gold Races featured additional rule variations (150cc with default item slots, 150cc with two item slots, 200cc with default item slots, and 200cc with one item slot). The player's grade is split up with a green grade for races and a purple grade for battles.

When the player is waiting for a multiplayer match to be found, they will earn coins. Up to 100 coins can be earned per day with this method. As of version 3.0.0, the Multiplayer Pipe is available, which the player can fire after having saved up enough points from playing races or battles in Multiplayer mode.

Once every few tours the Kart Pro event will take place (with its first appearance in the Snow Tour), in which the player can earn rewards like badges and rubies by completing challenges on a Kart Pro challenge card, including maintaining a streak of three wins in Standard Races or Gold Races. The amount of rubies the player will get as rewards for completing this challenge card depends on their grade. Grades F to A will receive 5 to 10 rubies, and grades S to S+9 will receive 15 to 21 rubies. As of version 2.9.0, players can maintain their streak if they win 2nd or 3rd place.

Some tours have a 2-Player Challenge event taking place, where the player could team up with another player in the "With Friends or Others Nearby" mode to race against a team of set opponents (such as Rosalina and the five babies in Vs. Rosalina Team) and collect event tokens in a set of three courses.

Challenges

See also: List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour

Challenges are objectives the player can complete to earn various badges and rewards depending on the type, of which there are eight: Standard Challenges, long-term challenges the player accomplishes throughout the course of the game; Tier Challenges (added in the Mii Tour (2022)) long-term challenges associated with Ranked Cups; Multiplayer Challenges (added in the Baby Rosalina Tour), which are long-term challenges for multiplayer mode; Multiplayer Battle Challenges (added in the Battle Tour), which are long-term challenges for multiplayer battle mode; Tour, Tour Multiplayer (added in the Summer Tour (2021) as part of the Summertime Challenges, later permanent in the Frost Tour), and Gold Challenges, challenges that last for the duration of the tour, the lattermost of which are exclusive to Gold Pass members; and Expert Challenges (added in the Cooking Tour), which contain challenges that are harder to succeed than Tour, Gold, and Standard Challenges, and last for twelve weeks. The first set of Tour Challenges unlocks from the tour's beginning, while the second set unlocks after the first week. Some special event challenges are one-offs, such as the their Anniversary Challenges in the 1st Anniversary Tour, while other challenges last for three tours, such as the Summertime Challenges. Completing Standard and Multiplayer Challenges award the player with rubies, while Tour and Gold Challenges award extra Grand Stars and Expert Challenges reward the player only with badges. Completing special event challenges award the player with high amount of rubies or a High-End driver. Each challenge card holds nine challenges aligned in a 3×3 grid, and for every bingo the player acquires (i.e. any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal match), they earn a certain amount of coins. The player also receives a reward upon completing an entire challenge card.

Daily challenges

Each daily challenge rewarded a Grand Star. The player could have up to three daily challenges available at a time, and upon completing one, a new one would not appear until the following day. Upon entering a new tour, players would receive three daily challenges right away, resulting in a maximum of sixteen daily challenges per two-week tour. The daily challenges were selected at random from the following options:

  • Do a Rocket Start.
  • Get 1st place in a race.
  • Perform a Slipstream.
  • Activate Frenzy mode.
  • Use a Mushroom.
  • Land a hit with a Banana.
  • Land a hit with a Red Shell.
  • Land a hit with a Green Shell.
  • Land a hit with a Bob-omb.
  • Land a hit with a Super Horn.
  • Join a multiplayer race.

From the Snow Tour onwards, daily challenges are no longer featured.

Premium Challenges

The first Premium Challenge card in the Snow Tour.

As of the Snow Tour, players can purchase a card for $4.99 USD with additional challenges every tour, with the reward for completing all challenges being a High-End driver, kart or glider. Progress on the challenges is shown whether the player has purchased or not, and all completed challenges can be claimed immediately on purchase. Uncompleted challenge cards can be carried over to the next tour, with up to fifteen able to be held at once.

Total Points Challenge

As of the Snow Tour, the player's total points across all cups can be redeemed for rewards, up to 600,000 points. Among the top rewards are points-cap tickets of increasing levels. Starting from the Singapore Tour, the Total Points Challenge features two challenge cards and goes up to 900,000 points, with more rewards. The Battle Tour later increased the final goal to 999,999 points, which was likely done due to the number of cups being changed from twelve to fifteen.

Tour Gifts

Tour Gifts give the player items if enough Grand Stars are obtained, with the top rewards often being level-boost tickets of increasing levels. Part of the rewards can only be claimed by Gold Pass subscribers.

Since the Baby Rosalina Tour, the player could also unlock free pipe launches from the regular pipes of the current tour, if enough Grand Stars were obtained. Since the Battle Tour, these are no longer available, due to the pipes being replaced by the Spotlight Shop.

As of version 2.10.0, players who started the game for the first time can unlock these characters in the currently-played tour.

Shop

The shop consists of six different sections.

Spotlight Shop

Introduced in the Battle Tour, the Spotlight section consists of selected drivers, karts, and gliders that are in the Spotlight. Spotlight items are available for one week, after which they are replaced. There is also a Daily Spotlight shop, which contains six High-End drivers, six High-End karts, and six High-End gliders, and is renewed each day. Once a day, the player can use a Quick Ticket to change the items in the Daily Spotlight. The player can buy each item up to three times for the cost of 150 rubies for drivers, and 100 rubies for karts and gliders.

Until the Anniversary Tour (2022), the pipe section was available in the shop. A pipe contained a determined amount of Normal, Super, and High-End items, plus featured items. The items were not ordered, so each item, including the featured ones, could be potentially found in any placement within the pipe. The player could reset the pipe at any moment. A new pipe was introduced each week and, since the 2019 Halloween Tour, the pipes lasted until the end of the tour.

Usually, a pipe contained the following items, with the spotlight items frequently taking the spot of a High-End item, though Super items could also appear in the spotlight.

Another common variant was the special pipe holding 50 items, used in special events and frequently not featuring any spotlight item, but rather a slightly different distribution of items to take into account the peculiar items that could be obtained in it.

The probability of obtaining a certain type of item from the pipe is (number of items of that type remaining in the pipe)/(total number of items remaining in the pipe) while the probability of obtaining a specific item is (probability of getting an item of the type of the desired item)/(number of available items of the same type of the desired item).

Mii Racing Suit Shop

Introduced in the Mii Tour (2022), the Mii Racing Suit section consists of 10 different Mii Racing Suits. The player can buy each Mii Racing Suit up to three times for the cost of 100 rubies. However, the first purchase of some selected Mii Racing Suits costs only 70 rubies.

Token Shop

As of the Wild West Tour, the Token Shop (formerly known as the Event Shop) appears during events or Team Rallies. The player can buy items in this shop with event tokens or team tokens. In several tours, the Token Shop is upgraded to feature various High-End items, tickets, and other items. Since the Samurai Tour, pipe launches can be bought as well.

Daily Selects
The Daily Selects section of the Shop in Mario Kart Tour.
The Daily Selects section of the Shop, before the base set was introduced.

The Daily Selects section is renewed each day. It consists of four rows, of which the first three each contain three items. The items in the left column are drivers or driver-related tickets, the items in the center column are karts or kart-related tickets, the items in the right column are gliders or glider-related tickets. The last row allows the player to play Coin Rush. The first row is available to all players and contains only Normal items and point-boost tickets, the second row is available to players level 7 and above and contains Normal and Super items along with item tickets and quick tickets, and the third row is available to players of level 12 and above and contains only Super and High-End items. The first time an item's skill level is maxed out, it is replaced with other items of the same rarity, type and shop rarity until all the items of the corresponding rarity, type and shop rarity have their skill level maxed out, at which point a level-boost ticket or, since the 2022 Mii Tour, a points-cap ticket is sold in place of these items. If the maxed out category has Normal rarity, only Normal tickets will be sold, once a Super item sold in the Daily Selects is maxed out, the tickets will either be Normal or Super, as soon as a High-End item sold in the Daily Selects is maxed out, tickets of all the rarities will be sold. Starting from the 2022 Mii Tour, High-End level-boost tickets can appear on the third row without having to max out items.

Since the 2019 Paris Tour, in addition to tickets, only a subset of non-tour-exclusive items can be found as Daily Selects in all of the Tours, here referred to as "Base set". The listed items are most Normal items from the Tokyo Tour and most items from the New York Tour. The Quick Ticket was removed and more items were added in the Cooking Tour at an increased cost and shop rarity, appearing less frequently in the Daily Selects and being unable to replace the items of the same rarity and type when the skill levels of those were all maxed out. They are marked with an asterisk (*) and referred to here as "Additional". Since the Berlin Tour, "Additional" prices were reduced to the "Base set" price, but their shop rarity appears unchanged, with them still not being able to replace items of the same rarity and price when the skill levels of the latter are maxed out. In the Mii Tour (2022), more items were added in the Daily Selects again; they are marked with two asterisks (**). In the Battle Tour, more items were added in the Daily Selects again; they are marked with three asterisks (***).

Tier Shop

Since the 2020 Halloween Tour, players can buy items in the Tier Shop. The items available in it are replaced every week, and the higher the player's tier, the more items are available for purchase. Until the Anniversary Tour (2022), the top row featured drivers, karts, and gliders that were favorites of at least one course in that week's ranked cup, and often included at least one High-End part. The items unlock based on the player's all-time highest tier and remain unlocked even if their tier drops. Some items can be bought multiple times, though the price increases after the first or second purchase. Previosly, after unlocking super level-boost tickets, there was a chance that High-End level-boost tickets of the same type will appear in place of them. Since the Mii Tour (2022), High-End level-boost tickets will appear separately if the player's all-time highest tier is at least 50.

Ruby purchase

The player can purchase different amounts of rubies with real-life currency.

Profile

Profile screenshot in Mario Kart Tour
A profile page showing a badge, favorite drivers and player records.

Players can visit profile pages of themselves and their friends. On a profile page, the player can display a badge, choose their eight favorite drivers out of the drivers they own and can see their records, which include the amounts of collected drivers, karts, and gliders, their highest score they earned on a single course in the current tour, their number of Standard Race, Gold Race and Kart Pro wins, their highest multiplayer grade and their highest tier. Additionally, their current level, tier, and multiplayer grade are shown for the player and their friends.

Badges

The player can collect badges by completing challenges, by ending in the top 1,000 in the All-Cup ranking, or through other case-specific means (such as a Twitter retweet campaign or winning a team rally). Sometimes badges will also be given in the Gift Box. Out of all their collected badges, the player can choose one that will be visible to other players on their profile, though players can view other players' full badge lists. Standard badges have four different types: common badges, gold badges (obtained by completing Gold Challenges and requires a Gold Pass subscription), expert badges (obtained by completing Expert Challenges), and blue badges (obtained by completing Today's Challenge all fourteen days of a given tour). Gold, expert (red), and blue badges are all recolored versions of common badges in their respective colors.

Other kinds of badges are grouped separately and obtained by other means. These include badges earned from completing entire Expert Challenge cards, ranking badges, multiplayer badges such as winning a Kart Pro event, top-placement badges, and Team Rally badges.

Friends

The player can become in-game friends with other players, see the points of their friends on the different cups, and invite them to join a multiplayer room.

Since the Baby Rosalina Tour, a cumulative reward is given to the player if the combined total cup points of the week's ranked cup of the player and all of their friends reach certain amounts. In the Flower Tour only, the reward was rubies instead of coins. Since the second week of the Wild West Tour, the coin amounts have changed.

News

Every time that an announcement is being made, a new part of a tour starts, an update of the game is released, a new special offer or pipe is available or something else has been changed, the player receives a message with detailed information about what is new. Messages regarding known issues also appear here.

Mii

The player can upload Mii characters from their Nintendo Account or create new ones. Mii characters can also be shared with other players.

The player can collect different Mii Racing Suits for their Miis to wear. Every time the player gets a new Mii Racing Suit, all of their Mii Racing Suits will get ten additional base points. Each Mii Racing Suit that the player owns has to be assigned to a specific Mii of the player's choice.

Gifts

Sometimes the player receives additional gifts, which can be rubies, coins, or badges. Mainly, these gifts are given at celebration occasions such as celebration days, the start of a new tour, or the launch of Multiplayer mode. Sometimes it happens that the player does not receive a reward due to a technical problem in the game. These rewards can appear as gifts at a later time. Gifts remain available for fourteen days.

Skill level point and points cap raising requirements

The following table lists the amount of skill level points needed to bring an acquired driver, kart, or glider to a certain skill level. Raising the skill level of a driver, kart or glider requires obtaining duplicates of them as Tour Gifts, from the Pipe or the Shop, or from using level-boost tickets that match the type and rarity.

Skill level 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Normal 2 5 8 11 14 20 40

Courses

See also: List of favored and favorite courses in Mario Kart Tour

Race courses

Mario Kart Tour features 103 different race courses (136 if each route is counted for courses with multiple re-routes), the most out of all Mario Kart games. Until the Anniversary Tour (2023), at least one additional course was added at the start of almost every tour. Notably, Mario Kart Tour introduces course variants,note with courses having up to three variants in addition to the normal one:

  • Courses marked with "R" (Reverse), labeled "SI" (Sens inverse) in French, are driven in reverse orientation, and mostly just have alterations to make this possible if necessary or to add in some course elements. Every race course in the game has an R variant.
  • Courses marked with "T" (Trick),[15][16] labeled "A" (Acrobatique) in French and "X" (Extreme) in all other languages, feature many additional ramps, Kanaami Roads, and obstacles with which to perform Jump Boosts, but are usually otherwise the same. Some specific T variants feature other alterations, such as adding Kanaami Roads to replace glider sections (like in DS Airship Fortress T), changing the order the course is traversed in (like in N64 Kalimari Desert 2T), or even changing the starting location (like in 3DS Rock Rock Mountain T). Every race course in the game except GBA Bowser's Castle 4 has a T variant.
  • Courses marked with "R/T" (Reverse/Trick), labeled "SI/A" (Sens inverse/Acrobatique) in French and "RX" (Reverse Extreme) in all other languages, feature the elements of both R and T courses. As such, they go through the course backwards while adding more ramps, Kanaami Roads, and other obstacles with which to perform Jump Boosts and combos. Unlike with R and T variants, many courses were introduced without R/T variants and gained them later on. Originally, R/T variants only appeared for city courses, with them introduced in the same tour as the city course's other variants, but classic courses would start having them as well beginning with the 2019 Winter Tour, after which every tour has had three to five R/T variants (of any course type). From then to the 2020 Trick Tour, each tour saw one to three new ones added. Every race course in the game except GBA Bowser's Castle 4 and 3DS Rock Rock Mountain has an R/T variant.

When counting R, T, and R/T variants separately from their normal counterparts, the total number of courses in the game is 541.

Prior to the Battle Tour, with some exceptions, city courses were added with all four variants in the same tour, while all other courses were first added without the R/T variant, which would then release in a subsequent tour whose exclusive additions were R/T variants. From the Battle Tour onwards, all courses added to the game would debut all four variants at once upon introduction, much like the city courses (with the exception of GBA Bowser's Castle 4, which debuted with only its normal and R variants).

Almost every tour features classic courses and remix courses, while every new course appears exclusively in specific tours. note - "Variant" is the official term used for both the courses designated R, T, or R/T and the numbered, re-routed versions of a particular course.[17][18][19]

New

There are seventeen original courses in Mario Kart Tour, referred to as "new courses". If each individual route is counted separately, the total increases to forty-seven.

City courses

44 of the 53 new courses are based on real cities. There are fourteen cities represented in the game, namely New York City, Tokyo, Paris, London, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, Amsterdam, Bangkok, Athens, Rome, and Madrid. These courses each have three unique routes that have the racers going through different areas of the city; additionally, New York Minute and Tokyo Blur each have an additional fourth route that brings together all of the paths from the other three routes into one long lap.

Other courses

In addition to the city courses are seven original courses that are not based on a real location, one of which has three different routes akin to the game's city courses. Despite the fact that Sky-High Sundae, Yoshi's Island, and Squeaky Clean Sprint officially debuted in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, they are labeled and marketed as new courses for Mario Kart Tour as well, including in internal data.[20]

Remix

Mario Kart Tour introduces a new category of course called remix courses, which have the "RMX" prefix prepended to their names. These courses have their designs taken from the Super Mario Kart course environments (with the exception of RMX Bowser's Castle 1, which is instead based on GBA Bowser's Castle 1), but feature a completely new layout, with each one centering around a particular obstacle (namely the blocks in RMX Mario Circuit 1, the ramps in the RMX Choco Island courses, the Star Rings in RMX Rainbow Road 1, the Mushroom Trampolines in RMX Rainbow Road 2, the Water Geysers in RMX Vanilla Lake 1, the igloos in RMX Vanilla Lake 2, the stairs in RMX Ghost Valley 1, the conveyor belts in RMX Bowser's Castle 1, and the lily pads in RMX Donut Plains 1). There are ten remix courses in the game.

Classic

There are 72 classic courses in Mario Kart Tour (73 if counting N64 Kalimari Desert 2 separately from N64 Kalimari Desert). There are no classic courses from Mario Kart 8, making this the first mainline Mario Kart game since Mario Kart: Double Dash!! to not have at least one classic course from every previous mainline Mario Kart game. Despite this, several classic courses that appeared in Mario Kart 8 retain much of their design and layout from that game's version of the course, though others do not. Mario Kart Tour features three fifths of all courses featured in the mainline series prior to Mario Kart 8.

Like in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the finish line banners for certain classic courses use the classic Mario Kart logo. The courses from SNES to GCN, as well as remix courses, use an updated version of the classic logo, while the courses from DS to 3DS, as well as the second section of N64 Kalimari Desert 2 and the second banner in the R/T variant of GCN Baby Park, use the current logo. DK Mountain is an exception to this, as despite it being a GCN course, the banner uses the current logo instead of the updated classic logo.

Super Mario Kart (SNES)

Fifteen courses return from Super Mario Kart, with the only absent courses from this game being Bowser Castle 1, Bowser Castle 2, Koopa Beach 1, Mario Circuit 4, and Ghost Valley 3.

Mario Circuit 1, Choco Island 2, Donut Plains 1, and Koopa Troopa Beach 2 return as classic courses from Mario Kart DS, Ghost Valley 2 and Mario Circuit 3 return from Mario Kart Wii, Mario Circuit 2 and Rainbow Road return from Mario Kart 7 (with Rainbow Road also returning from Mario Kart 8), Donut Plains 3 returns from Mario Kart 8, and Ghost Valley 1, Choco Island 1, Donut Plains 2, Vanilla Lake 1, Bowser Castle 3, and Vanilla Lake 2 make their 3D debut as classic courses.

Battle courses

There are five battle courses in the game, consisting of two new courses and three returning from previous installments, including one each from Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS. Similar to the battle courses in Mario Kart 8, the new battle courses are repurposed from their corresponding city courses, albeit with more restricted pathways that can be taken. Among the returning courses, Cookie Land and Twilight House return as classic battle courses from Mario Kart Wii while Battle Course 1 returns from Mario Kart 7. Rather than each battle course having unique background music, they all use Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's arrangement of SNES Battle Course 1's music.

Tours

Main article: List of tours in Mario Kart Tour

Each tour consists of a series of cups, with each cup containing three courses and a bonus challenge. The featured character of the cup has the preference for every course in it increased by one tier. There are also special Team Rally tours that happen once every six or seven tours, during which all drivers are divided into two teams. Each team has a team captain, which is the driver the team is named after. At the start of a Team Rally tour, the player must choose one of the two teams to join. During a Team Rally, players can collect team tokens on courses, with the winning team being whichever collects the most total team tokens by the end of the tour.

Main article: List of drivers in Mario Kart Tour
See also: Mario Kart Tour in-game statistics

Counting each character variant and Mii Racing Suit separately, there are 265 playable characters in Mario Kart Tour, the largest number of playable characters in a Super Mario game. Notable new playable characters to the Mario Kart series include Peachette, Pauline, Hammer Bro, Boomerang Bro, Fire Bro, Ice Bro, Monty Mole, Dixie Kong, Captain Toad, Nabbit, King Bob-omb, Kamek, Chargin' Chuck, and Poochy, with Ice Bro and King Bob-omb also making their first appearances overall as playable characters. Some characters return as playable to the series after being absent from multiple installments: Donkey Kong Jr. is playable for the first time since Super Mario Kart, Petey Piranha is playable for the first time since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Diddy Kong, Birdo, and Funky Kong are playable for the first time since Mario Kart Wii. Excluding characters not from the Super Mario franchise, only two playable characters from previous mainline Mario Kart games do not return in Mario Kart Tour, namely Koopa Paratroopa from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Honey Queen from Mario Kart 7.

Miis also return from previous Mario Kart games, debuting in the 2022 Mii Tour. Like in Mario Kart 8, they have a multitude of different racing suits they can wear; however, each suit now has its own special skill. There are 65 suits, with at least one new suit being added in each tour from the 2022 Mii Tour until the 2023 Anniversary Tour.

Upon launching the game for the first time, players will be given either Toad or Toadette. After the tutorial, they are granted a free pipe launch which grants Peachette, Metal Mario, or Dry Bowser.[21][22] The Red Mii Racing Suit is also given as a free gift for players. Gold Mario is the only playable character in Coin Rush mode, which was the only mode in which he was playable until the 2023 Anniversary Tour; he has the unique ability to draw in nearby coins to himself, with this having a larger radius in Coin Rush than otherwise.

Unlike in other Mario Kart games, characters are sorted by the rarity of unlocking them. There are three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. While the Normal characters are easier to unlock, rarer characters have a greater number of starting points and have more favored and favorite courses.

The only differences between drivers in the main statistics affect acceleration and weight, and depend on the driver's size class.[23]

Karts, gliders, and tires

Main articles: List of karts in Mario Kart Tour, List of gliders in Mario Kart Tour, Tire § Mario Kart Tour

There are a total of 336 karts and 225 gliders in Mario Kart Tour, the most of any Mario Kart game. Several karts and gliders return from previous installments, though new ones also appear alongside variants of existing ones; these variants share their in-game model, differing by textures, and are grouped together within the internal files. Like drivers, karts and gliders are organized by three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. Each kart and glider has its own special skill that provides specific benefits during a race; karts give bonus points for performing a particular technique while gliders increase the chance of obtaining a particular item from Item Boxes as well as the points gained from using that item. Each kart and glider also has its own favored and favorite courses, and using a kart or glider on such courses increases their bonus points multiplier, or combo bonus and combo-time, respectively.

Unlike in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, tires are not customizable, being set to a specific kart, and have no effect on stats.

In battle mode, a new feature allows the player to customize their balloons that appear during the match. However, unlike karts and gliders, these balloon designs are purely aesthetic. There are 34 balloon designs in Mario Kart Tour.

Items

Frenzy

Main article: Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour)

Depending on the selected driver and course they are used on, players can get one to three items at once. In the case that a character gets three of the same item, they will activate the new Frenzy Mode, in which they immediately activate Super Star power, and can charge all the Mini-Turbo stages much more quickly and can use unlimited supplies of the respective item until the invincibility runs out. Any item can appear in Frenzy Mode, except for the Star, which is exclusive to certain bonus challenges.

The probability of obtaining a Frenzy depends on the current position and lap and on the driver chosen. In particular, the current position and lap define a base probability that is then summed to a bonus depending on the rarity and skill level of the driver chosen. The resulting probability is capped at 50%, even if the sum exceeds said value.

The following is the base probability of a Frenzy in single player races used in the 2020 Halloween Tour:[24]

Base probability of a Frenzy in single-player races
Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th
First lap 5 6 7 9 13 15 18 22
Second lap or higherc 6 7 11 12 18 22 29 41

Multiplayer races use different Frenzy probabilities:[25]

Second lap or higherc 3 4 8 9 15 22 32 50

c - On 3DS Rainbow Road and its variants, the second lap probabilities are applied from the second segment onward.

Item Box items

Items function mostly the same as in previous installments in the series. As in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, every character has their own special item that most other characters cannot obtain. By upgrading drivers to certain levels, they can obtain improved special items: Normal drivers to level 7, Super drivers to level 5 or higher, and High-End drivers to level 4 or higher.

The game introduces eleven new items to the series: the Double Bob-ombs, the Ice Flower, the Bubble, the Banana Barrels, the Mushroom Cannon, the Coin Box, the Dash Ring, the Bob-omb Cannon, the Giga Bob-omb, the Super Bell, and the Capsule, all of which are character-exclusive items. Several items also return in this game after a long absence from the series, including Bowser's Shell, Yoshi's Egg/Birdo's Egg, the Giant Banana, the Heart, and the Mega Mushroom from Mario Kart Wii; the former four (from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!) are all special items, while the lattermost is a regular item. Additionally, the Hammer item from the Mario Kart Arcade GP series appears in this game for the first time in a non-arcade Mario Kart game as a special item, though its functions are different. The Lucky Seven and Super Leaf, which were both absent in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, also return in this game as special items.

The probabilities used in single player mode outside of Frenzies are reported. It is possible that the first item boxes of the races use different probabilities. The probability of common items can be increased by using gliders with the respective item skill. The actual probability is calculated as (item probability + glider bonus)/(sum of the probabilities of the eligible items); when no item can be obtained, a Coin is obtained instead. For the detailed probabilities of obtaining an item when an Item Box is opened, see Mario Kart Tour item probability distributions.

Course elements

It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: include more course, bonus challenges and Coin Rush appearances

Interactable course elements

The following table lists elements that slow racers down, crash them, offer them a Jump Boost and/or simply give them bonus points when interacted with in a certain way. For ways to interact with these elements for bonus points, see Mario Kart Tour race points system § Object interactions.

Note: Statements that an obstacle causes drivers to crash, spin out, or otherwise slow down on contact typically hold only when said drivers are in a default state. In most cases, drivers are unaffected by obstacles if they are undergoing invincibility frames or are under the effects of a Frenzy, Mega Mushroom, Bullet Bill, or Super Star. The only obstacles that can still slow drivers down regardless of their state are those that are solid objects and cannot be taken out by any means (bumpers, flippers, Walking Trees, windmills etc.).

Bonus challenges

Bonus challenges are similar to the Missions mode from Mario Kart DS and the tournaments from Mario Kart Wii, and are found at the end of each cup. In contrast to races, these challenges offer 3 Grand Stars instead of 5 when completed with the highest score needed. The game will set the character for the challenge, even if the player has not obtained them yet, and give them the Pipe Frame and the Super Glider, though this rule does not apply for all Big Reverse Races and Vs. Mega (opponent) challenges. The numbers in the table indicate the number of times that bonus challenge appears in each tour.

Apple Store demo

A special demo of Mario Kart Tour was made playable at Apple Store outlets and kiosks.[27] Unlike in the full consumer version, the menu and Coin Rush mode are inaccessible, and points cannot be saved when the player quits the app. Additionally, there are only three cups available:

Differences in power-saving mode

There are some minor and major differences in the game's menus and race courses when it is set to "power-saving" mode, to maintain device performance (in older supported phone models) and decrease battery usage.

General differences
  • Opponents do not have any animations nor do they emit voices.
  • The minimap does not appear in races.
  • The models for the drivers have low quality textures.
  • Course textures are less detailed.
  • The sound effect of passing through Dash Rings is present only if they were activated by the player.
  • The Shy Guys, Yoshis, and Toads that are normally found along the sidelines of several courses are absent, though they can still be heard.
  • The screen has a lower resolution, resulting in slightly pixelated graphics.
  • Trees are swapped out for lower-detail models.
  • In some courses, models adding extra detail get removed. This is particularly noticeable in Tokyo Blur right after passing the National Diet Building, where every building in the background except for one is removed.
Course-specific differences

Updates

Main article: Mario Kart Tour update history

Version 3.4.1

Release date: September 28, 2023

  • Addressed known issues.

Differences from previous Mario Kart games

  • Mario Kart Tour is the only Mario Kart game where every character must technically be unlocked, and where there is no set starting roster.
  • It is also the only game to not have a Grand Prix mode, with every fortnightly Tour containing a reshuffled selection of Cups, and Cups containing three courses and one bonus challenge to be played in any order.
  • The number of players in each race has reverted back to eight, like in all mainline games up to Mario Kart DS and in Mario Kart 7.
  • Apart from GCN Baby Park and 3DS Rainbow Road, all races consist of two laps/sections, as opposed to the usual three.
  • Drivers, karts and gliders can be leveled up.
  • The music continues from where it leaves off after the final lap fanfare plays, instead of restarting like in past games.
    • The only exception to this is 3DS Rainbow Road, which reuses its final lap music from Mario Kart 7 and always begins at the start of the song.
    • On the final lap, for most courses the music's pitch is increased by four semitones rather than one as in the other games since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. The exceptions are Merry Mountain and Bangkok Rush, which are pitched up by one, Rome Avanti, which is pitched up by three, and Piranha Plant Pipeline, which is pitched up by two.
  • Percussion is not heard in the music when the player is in 1st place like in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8.
  • Lakitu does not appear at the beginning of or throughout races.
    • Starting from the New Year's 2021 Tour, the Lakitu referee in his festive attire appears as a playable driver known as "Lakitu (Party Time)".[28]
  • Stars are not obtainable from regular item boxes in single player mode, with item Frenzies having similar effects instead. However, in multiplayer mode, stars appear from item boxes in rulesets with fewer than three item slots (as Frenzies are not obtainable).
  • For the first time since Super Mario Kart, Triple Red Shells are absent. This is likely due to how using multi-items (such as the Triple Mushrooms or the Lucky Seven) sends out all of their items at once, which would be useless for items that always lock onto the next racer.
  • This is the first Mario Kart game since Mario Kart: Super Circuit to have numbered new courses (e.g. Tokyo Blur 3) and the first Mario Kart game to feature numbered variants of classic courses (namely N64 Kalimari Desert 2).
    • Unlike in the previous games, these numbered courses take place in the same map, but use a different course layout: the starting line is in the same location (with the exceptions of Los Angeles Laps, Berlin Byways, and Piranha Plant Cove), but the courses split off from each other onto different routes. Some variants, such as Vancouver Velocity 2 and Sydney Sprint 2, have racers crossing the starting line in the opposite direction of the other variants.
      • The remix courses feature numbers in their names as well, though in that case when the number changes the map layout changes as well.
  • For the first time since Mario Kart: Super Circuit, the Golden Mushroom is absent, as it is functionally replaced by the Mushroom Frenzy.
  • Multiple items can be received from a single item box.
  • This is the first Mario Kart game to lack losing themes and animations after races; the same theme and animations play for any placement below 1st. However, losing voice lines for most of the characters can be found in the game's files.
  • Courses, karts, and gliders that had different names between American and British English in previous games instead only use their American English names, with the exception of the B Dasher Mk. 2, which only uses its British English name.
  • Karts that originally had moving parts (not counting tires), such as the tentacles on the Super Blooper and the blower on the Flame Flyer, no longer have them move.
  • If an opponent hits the player with any item, the screen will display the word "Ouch!" with the icon of the opponent's current driver displayed above it.
    • Likewise if a player hits the opponent, the side of the screen will display the word "Hit!" with the icon of the opponent's driver and the item they got hit by.
  • The item warning sound effects differs between certain items. The warning sound effect from Mario Kart 8 is used when targeted by a homing item (Red Shell, Yoshi's Egg, or Birdo Egg) and when an opponent behind the player is under the effects of a Star, Mega Mushroom, or Bullet Bill. The homing item warning sound effect from Mario Kart Wii is used when targeted by a Spiny Shell.
  • Various sound effects, such as the item roulette, Jump Boosts, and when the player's current placement changes, are taken from Mario Kart DS (for the former), Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7 rather than from Mario Kart 8.

Glitches

Opponents' drivers get stuck in multiplayer battles

Certain connection errors in multiplayer battles cause opponents to dissociate from their players and drive straight into the first wall they encounter, where they remain stuck until the time runs out or the player who experiences this bug strikes them out.[29]

Reception

Critical reception

Initial impressions of the beta were mixed. Journalists praised the gameplay and graphics, but criticized the free-to-play gacha elements of the game. Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica compared the game's in-app purchases to Spiny Shells, blowing up the classic Mario Kart experience. He suggested that "the developers pick a side: attach an annoying economy to a deeper control scheme and more legitimate online options, or make it cheaper and less obnoxious to watch Mario drive himself".[31] Ethan Gach of Kotaku also stated that the game is "a mostly faithful but stripped-down recreation of Mario Kart decked out with all the microtransactions and lottery mechanics mobile games are infamous for" and also lamented the lack of a multiplayer mode.[32] Steven Asarch of Newsweek complained about the game's "freemium greed" and that it is "ruined by microtransactions".[33]

The game's reception on release was mixed to negative. Andrew Webster of The Verge praised how intuitive using items is, while criticizing the controls, calling them imprecise, and the game's monetization, stating that "The problem is so much of the game feels designed around monetization, as opposed to just being a fun game".[34] Chris Scullion of Nintendo Life gave a positive review, praising the lack of an energy system, the points system, and the amount of cups, while criticizing the time required to get used to the controls, the gyro controls, and listing the game's monetization as a con, stating that opinions on the game's monetization will vary for each person, while arguing that "It's rubbish to an extent, absolutely, but despite the outrage you may be seeing in some circles, it's no different to any other game with a loot box system; it's always nearly impossible to guarantee you'll get the exact thing you want" when talking about the game's gacha mechanics, and that "More than the gacha system, the Gold Pass is gaining a lot more controversy than it really should be, with some misunderstanding what it does and assuming this subscription service is necessary in some way. To be clear, it really isn't, and absolutely won't be of interest to 99% of the player base." when talking about the game's Gold Pass subscription.[35] Michael McWhertor of Polygon gave a negative review, stating that the game "lacks the joy of its fully-featured counterparts", criticizing that the steering feels inconsequential, stating that "the game can feel as if it's playing itself", the lack of difficulty when playing against computers, the lack of motivation to continue playing, and the game's microtransactions.[36] CJ Andriessen of Destructoid gave a negative review, criticizing the game's microtransactions and how the game rarely gives the player Rubies, stating "[Mario Kart] Tour's fatal flaw is it's continually pushing players into ham-fisted situations where they have to spend money rather than creating a game so exceptional they'll want to spend money", the limitations on unlocking, collecting, or upgrading certain things, and the game's controls, while praising the variations to courses, though noting that "there is still a bit of disappointment when you wait a day to unlock a new cup only to find it's Daisy Hills again", the New York Minute track, and that Nintendo at the time of the article's publication planned to add more new tracks to the game, though noting that "One of the great joys of any Mario Kart title is seeing what types of new courses the developers have designed and that joy just isn't present in [Mario Kart] Tour."[37] Kyle Hilliard of IGN, in a mixed review, praised the series's transition from consoles to mobile phones, stating that "during those moments where I was speeding down the track expertly launching turtle shells at my opponents I felt like I was playing a real Mario Kart game", though stating that Mario Kart Tour is an "undeniable downgrade from Mario Kart 8", praise was given to how items are used, the game's bonus challenges, and the brevity of the races, cups, and bonus challenges, while criticism was directed at the game launching without multiplayer, the game's microtransactions and their cost, having to wait for later cups to unlock, and the quantity of Grand Stars unlocked being affected by the kart or character the player unlocked.[38] Jon Cartwright of GameXplain, in a negative review, stated that "Mario Kart is better than this", stating "Because it's so similar to the core games, it becomes comparable to them, amplifying its faults even further", criticizing the controls, calling them "extremely unintuitive", and "a huge, restrained, letdown" after stating that the controls felt "extremely simplistic"; the game's monetization, stating that "This may be a free game compared to a full sixty dollar release, but money has never felt so intrusive in Mario Kart"; and the track New York Minute, stating that "this track is not good enough for Mario Kart", while praising the game's bonus challenges and the game's Reverse tracks, calling them "really cool ideas", while also praising the game's roster of playable characters and its graphics.[39]

As of August 26, 2020, Mario Kart Tour received a mixed Metacritic Metascore of 58, and a negative User Score of 3.8.[40] Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, as of August 26, 2020, Mario Kart Tour received an average of 4.1 out of 5 stars on Google Play[41] and an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars on the App Store.[42]

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Unknown Andrew Webster, The Verge N/A "This doesn't mean Mario Kart Tour won't be successful. In fact, early signs point to the game having a record-breaking launch. But that success isn't because the game is good, and it's especially disappointing from a company that prides itself on quality. Mobile aside, Nintendo is at a creative high point, regularly launching major Switch games to near-universal acclaim. They're games that sell hardware and help players think differently about what games can be. On console, Nintendo sets its own pace; on mobile, it follows."
Unknown Chris Scullion, Nintendo Life 7/10 "Get used to Mario Kart Tour's unconventional control system and ignore its overpriced and unnecessary subscription service and you're left with a fun, free mobile take on the series. It was never going to replace Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but by not including an energy system and promising regular new content Nintendo is at least offering a decent alternative to pass the time when you're out and about without your Switch."
iOS Michael McWhertor, Polygon N/A "Mario Kart Tour stalls right from the starting line. It lacks the competitive thrills of other Mario Kart games, focusing more on an endless series of unlockable virtual things to acquire.

But it appears that a full multiplayer mode is coming to Mario Kart Tour, which may provide more thrills than chasing AI-controlled kart racers and the daily drip feed of currency. For now, however, this is hardly a vital addition to Nintendo’s library of games, mobile or otherwise."

Unknown CJ Andriessen, Destructoid 4.5/10 "Mario Kart Tour is a blemish on the franchise it shares its name with. The genre-defining creativity found in past entries is completely absent here, replaced by a hollow experience that's simply coasting on the name and goodwill of the games that came before it. I can only hope this is Nintendo's mobile initiative hitting rock bottom, and that it's all uphill from here. Because I can't stand the thought of another one of my favorite series having its reputation dragged the mud[sic] in search of a quick buck."
iOS Kyle Hilliard, IGN 6.7/10 "The actual gameplay and racing of Mario Kart Tour is well done: controlling the karts feels good, the courses and characters look and sound great, and playing simplified one-handed Mario can be a lot of fun. But the road to a mobile version of Mario Kart is a bumpy one. On top of multiplayer not currently being available at all, Nintendo continues to struggle with how to comfortably monetize a mobile game without hamstringing its gameplay. Tour’s prices are prohibitively high and not getting top honors on a race despite winning first place just because you don’t have the right racer or kart feels unfair."
Unknown Jon Cartwright, GameXplain Disliked "If you're someone who doesn't own a Nintendo console and just want a quick Mario Kart fix, I guess this is it. It comes with a lot of roadblocks, and it isn't anywhere near as fun to control as the console games. And for me it just made me want to play Mario Kart 8 again. I disliked Mario Kart Tour. It looks like a quality Mario Kart game, but it isn't particularly fun to play, and the aggressive monetization is so prominent that it intrudes on the experience. The last new Mario Kart game may have been five years ago with Mario Kart 8 on Wii U, but this isn't even worth a pit stop to me. Mario Kart is better than this."

Pre-release and unused content

Main article: List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content

The beta version of the game saw multiple changes in the final game. Among them, the stamina element was removed, and the timers restricting access to certain cups can be sped up using quick tickets. Additionally, rubies were originally emeralds.

Several of the game's drivers, karts, gliders, and courses had data strings and other files relating to them present in the game's data before they were released, though some of these correspond to content that was never released. The game's data also contains unused versions of some of the course icons that depict the courses less accurately.

MKT Report is a yearly series of reports published by Nintendo, meant to offer insights into the statistics and achievements of Mario Kart Tour's playerbase throughout a given year. For example, one such report showed that, from January through November 2021, the most popular driver used in multiplayer races was Metal Mario;[46] another stated that approximately 51.7 billion coins were collected in races during the same time frame (excluding "events such as the Coins Aplenty event").[47]

Team Rally showdowns

Main articles: Wario vs. Waluigi Tour § Wario vs. Waluigi Showdown, Peach vs. Bowser Tour (May 2022) § Peach vs. Bowser Showdown

In 2022, the official Mario Kart Tour accounts on Twitter and Facebook conducted two promotional events, called "showdowns", each in the context of a Team Rally tour. Through a series of rounds, users were asked to pick between a number of subjects related to either of the teams represented in the Team Rally. On Twitter, users could vote their preferred option in polls, with the percentages at the end of a poll's period deciding the winning team of a round. The showdown related to the Wario vs. Waluigi Tour, spanning three rounds, counted the number of rounds won by a particular team, concluding with Team Waluigi as the winner.[48] However, the one related to the May 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour, spanning only two rounds, did not take into account the overall standings of a team.
