Mario Kart Tour: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:41, December 22, 2020

Not to be confused with Super Mario Kart Tour.

Template:Infobox Mario Kart Tour is a mobile game in the Mario Kart series. First announced during a financial briefing on January 31, 2018,^[1] it is the third Mario mobile game overall, following Super Mario Run and Dr. Mario World, the ninth main installment in the Mario Kart series,^[2] and the fourteenth installment overall. Like Super Mario Run, it is free-to-start from the App Store and Google Play.^[3] Unlike Super Mario Run and similar to that of Dr. Mario World, the game more heavily incorporates a free-to-play microtransaction mechanic, having gacha elements in the form of items being launched out of pipes. The game reuses many assets from Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8, as well as returning gameplay mechanics such as gliding and character-specific special items. In addition, the game introduces some features new to the Mario Kart franchise such as reverse tracks and the ability to deploy a large amount of any item during a race, including Spiny Shells and Bullet Bills. 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.^[4]

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 for violating gambling laws.^[5] Users who pre-registered acquired the game a day early. Unlike previous Mario mobile games, a Nintendo Account is required to be playable.

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).^[6] Prior to this, on October 31, 2019, Nintendo announced the first multiplayer beta test exclusive to Gold Pass members,^[7] 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 having a Gold Pass subscription or not,^[8] 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.

Gameplay

Funky Kong racing on Los Angeles Laps R/T

The goal of the game is to be in first place at the end of each race, 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.

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 within the same game. 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 go 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 150.

3	6	7	8
4	5	6	7

The game features Tour Challenges and Gold Challenges, which reward Grand Stars, and Standard Challenges, which reward rubies, the main premium currency of the game.

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 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 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. 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. Starting with the Baby Rosalina Tour, each tour has twelve cups, and adds new drivers, karts, gliders, and courses. 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 is played and enough Grand Stars are obtained, the player can move on to the next 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 the 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 reward 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.

Each tour has three sets of Tour Challenges. The first one is unlocked from the tour's beginning, the second one unlocks after the first week, and the third one is exclusive to Gold Pass members.

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 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 2800 points. 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.

Base points of drivers and kart parts
Amount	Drivers			Kart and gliders
Amount	Normal	Super	High-End	Normal	Super	High-End
Initial	400	450	500	200	220	250
Base cap	600	675	800	300	330	400
First raised cap	648	765	980	324	366	490
Second raised cap	704	870	1190	352	408	595
Top cap	760	975	1400	380	450	700

Bonus points

Larry obtaining bonus points by performing a trick 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, and 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 happened 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	50cc	100cc	150cc	200cc
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

Additional internal data (RaceScoreParam)

The following internal data stems from the Peach Tour.^[9]

The engine class affect the obtained points in various other ways, as shown by the internal data:

Engine class dependent points-related parameters (mEngineLevelParams)
Parameter	50cc	100cc	150cc	200cc
AddScoreIntervalWhileGlide	2.5	2	1.5	1.2
AddScoreIntervalWhileWater	7.5	6	4.5	3.6
AddScoreIntervalWhileItemType018	2.5	2	1.5	1.2
AddScoreIntervalWhileDriftKeep	2.5	2	1.5	1.2
InterimRankBonusRate	0.5	1	2	2
ComboNumMax	5	10	15	15

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 apparently depends on the combo counter, 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

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 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.

Rubies

Rubies are the main premium currency of Mario Kart Tour. Besides being bought with real-life currency at the Shop, rubies can be obtained as daily login bonuses, as a player level up bonus, as part of tour gifts, as a reward for the ranked cup, and as a reward for the Standard Challenges.

Rubies can be used in two different ways: to buy launch pipes and to play Coin Rush mode.

Coins

Gold Mario in Coin Rush during the Tokyo Tour

Coins are collected during a race and rewarded for the number of points obtained during said race, up to 300 per day. 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 yet.

Besides the 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, while waiting for Multiplayer races, and as rewards for ranked cup placements and friend ranking.

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.

Coins multiplier	Rubies
2	5
6	15
10	25

During the Cooking Tour, the Coins Aplenty Event was added to the game. This event gives the player 24 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 toward the daily cap of 300 coins from races. In addition, the daily cap is ignored on each of these three races, providing 3 extra opportunities to score coins beyond the cap if it has already been reached.

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

Multiplayer mode was added to Mario Kart Tour on March 8, 2020, where up to eight human players can play against each other.^[6] There are three modes available: a mode to play with friends or other players nearby; Standard Races, a mode where the player competes against random players from around the world; and Gold Races, a mode exclusive to Gold Pass members where the player competes against other members. Players race against each other in three courses in a chosen cup of the current tour; the cup changes every 15 minutes. 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 (3)), number of teams (none, 2, 3 or 4), and inclusion of COM racers. The player can also create a Room for which they can invite players to join with a code.

In Standard Races, there are two sets of rules that interchange daily: 100cc with default item slots, and 100cc with two item slots. In Gold Races, there are four: 150cc with default item slots, 150cc with two item slots, 200cc with default item slots, and 200cc with one item slot. The Team Game rule can also appear in Standard Races and Gold Races. In both of these modes, there is also a grading system for players that changes depending on their performance. The grades range from F to A (S then S+1 to S+6 in Gold Races).^[10]

When the player is waiting for a multiplayer match to be found, they will earn coins. Every day, the player can earn up to 100 coins this way.

Challenges

Challenges are objectives the player can complete to earn various badges and rewards depending on the type, of which there are four: Standard Challenges, long-term challenges the player accomplishes throughout the course of the game, Multiplayer Challenges (added in Baby Rosalina Tour), which are challenges for multiplayer mode, and Tour and Gold Challenges, challenges that last for the duration of the tour, the latter of which are exclusive to Gold Pass members. Added in the Cooking Tour are Expert Challenges, which contain challenges that are harder to succeed than Tour, Gold, and Standard Challenges, and last for 12 weeks. In the 1st Anniversary Tour, Anniversary Challenges are added one-off. Completing Standard, Multiplayer, and Anniversary Challenges awards the player with rubies, while Tour and Gold Challenges award extra Grand Stars and Expert Challenges do not award the player at all. 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.

The following are the Expert, Multiplayer, and Standard Challenges in the game. For the tour-specific challenges, see List of tours in Mario Kart Tour.

Tour Gifts

Tour Gifts give the player items if enough Grand Stars are obtained.

Shop

The shop consists of five different sections.

Pipes

Pipes can shoot out a driver, kart, or glider, all of which have their own rarities. A pipe contains a determined amount of Normal, Super, and High-End items, all of which are chosen randomly within their class and rarity, plus a featured driver, kart, and glider. The items are not ordered, so each item, including the featured ones, can be potentially found in any placement within the pipe. 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. The player can reset the pipe at any moment. A new pipe is introduced each week and, since the 2019 Halloween Tour, the pipes last until the end of the tour.

Usually, the pipe contains the following items, with the spotlight items frequently taking the spot of a Super or High-end item:

Items obtained from a typical new 100 items pipe
Item	Normal			Super			High-End
Item	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider
Amount	32	26	16	9	7	4	2	2	2

Until the New Year's Tour, the pipe typically contained the following items:

Items obtained from a new pipe
Item	Normal			Super			High-End			Featured High-End
Item	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider
Amount	32	26	16	9	7	4	1	1	1	1	1	1

Another common variant is the 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 can be obtained in it.

Items obtained from a typical new 50 items pipe
Item	Normal			Super			High-End
Item	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider	Character	Kart	Glider
Amount	15	11	9	5	4	3	1	1	1

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).

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.

Token Shop's items
Item		Price^a^b	Quantity (Event)	Quantity (Team Rally)
Item ticket		5	10	-
Point-boost ticket		10	3 each	-

^a - In the Token Shop of the Summer Festival Tour, most of the items had lower prices, while Monty Mole was purchasable for 200 event tokens.
^b - In the Token Shop of the 1st Anniversary Tour, High-End items and level-boost tickets were available. Also, most items had lower prices.

Daily Selects

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 last row is 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, level-boost ticket of the same or lower rarity of the maxed-out item and of all types start appearing, mainly in the bottom right corner. As soon as an item of higher rarity is maxed out, the tickets of the corresponding rarity start appearing as well.

Daily Selects' items
Item		Price
Base set	Additional
Item ticket		50
Point-boost ticket		100
Quick ticket		1,000
Normal	Kart or glider	500	1,000
Normal	Driver	800	1,500
Super	Kart or glider	2,000	7,500
Super	Driver	3,000	9,000
High-End	Kart or glider	10,000	25,000
High-End	Driver	12,000	30,000

Since the Paris Tour, in addition to tickets, only a subset of non-tour-exclusive items can be found as Daily Selects in all 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. More items were added as of the Cooking Tour at an increased cost; they are marked with an asterisk (*) and referred to here as Additional.

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. 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.

Tier Shop's items
Item			Price
Initial price	After first purchase	After second purchase	Quantity

Ruby purchase

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

Profile

The player can visit profile pages of themselves and their friends. On a profile page, the player can display their 8 favorite drivers out of the drivers they own, and they can see their records, which include the amounts of collected drivers, karts, and gliders, their highest score on a single course, the number of Standard Race and Gold Race wins, their highest multiplayer grade and their highest tier. Also, their current level, tier, and multiplayer grade are shown.

Badges

The player can collect badges by completing challenges, and by ending in the top 1,000 in the All-Cup ranking. 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.

Friends

The player can become in-game friends with other players. The player can 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.

Total points of player and friends	Coins (until August 5, 2020)	Coins (since August 12, 2020)	Rubies (Flower Tour)
50,000	100	100	2
80,000	500	300	3
150,000	1000	600	5

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.

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 14 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
Normal	2	5	8	11	14
Super	1	2	3	4	5
High-End	1	1	2	2	3

The following table lists the amount of points-cap tickets needed to raise the maximum amount of base points of a driver, kart or glider to a higher cap.

Cap	1	2	3
Amount of tickets	1	5	10

Courses

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

Mario Kart Tour currently features 51 racecourses, the most of any Mario Kart game to date. Of these, 17 are new courses and 34 are Retro Courses, giving Mario Kart Tour the distinction of having the most Retro Courses as well. Most of the new courses are based on real-world cities, these being New York City, Tokyo, Paris, London, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. Notably, Mario Kart Tour introduces course variations; each course has both an "R" (Reverse) and "T" (Trick)^[11]^[12] variant. Courses marked with "R" are driven in backward 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. "R/T" (Reverse/Trick) variants feature the elements of both reverse and trick courses. "RMX" (remix) tracks are courses with new layouts, albeit set in the same setting as their namesake course, and generally feature additional ramps and obstacles.

Drivers

The character list as it appears in-game as of the Halloween Tour (2020).

For the tables to convert the Level shown here in the actual statistics used by the game, see Mario Kart Tour in-game statistics.

There are currently 104 playable characters (105 if including Gold Mario, who appears exclusively in the Coin Rush mode) in Mario Kart Tour, making it the Mario game with the most playable characters. 12 new characters are introduced, the second-highest of all Mario Kart games after the original Mario Kart 8. Upon launching the game for the first time, players start with either Toad, Toadette, or Peachette.^[15] After the tutorial they are granted a free pipe launch which grants either Peach, Bowser, Metal Mario,^[16] or Dry Bowser.^[17] Unlike other Mario Kart games, characters are sorted by their rarity of unlocking them, via opening up randomized green or gold 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 and have more favored and favorite courses.

So far, the only changes in the main statistics that were found affect acceleration and weight, and depend on the kart size.^[18]

Items

Frenzy

Main article: Frenzy

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 Star, 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 is the sum exceeds said value.

The following is the base probability of a Frenzy in single player races used in the 2020 Halloween Tour,^[21] since only two laps are coded, three-sectioned tracks presumably reuse one of those two rows for one of its sections.

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	6	7	11	12	18	22	29	41

Multiplayer races use different Frenzy probabilities.^[22]

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 skill that most other characters cannot get. Super drivers with level 5 or higher and High-End drivers with level 4 or higher have improved special skills.

The game introduces nine 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, and the Giga Bob-omb, all of which are character-exclusive items.

The probabilities used in single player mode outside of Frenzies are reported. It’s 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.

Inventory items

These items are collected throughout the course of the game through various means, such as challenges, log-in bonuses, and Tour Gifts.

Image	Name	Description
	Coin	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.
	Ruby	Special currency used to play Coin Rush without the Coin Rush ticket or fire pipes containing drivers, karts and gliders.
	Event token	Special currency used in Token Shops.
	Team token	Special currency used in Team Rallies and Token Shops.
	Grand Star	Rewards from achieving specified race scores and completing challenges. The more Grand Stars a player obtains, the more cups they can participate in and the more presents they can receive in each tour. If all of the tour gifts have been opened, coins will be awarded instead. Once a tour ends, the total number of Grand Stars resets to zero.

Apple Store demo

The special demo of Mario Kart Tour is made playable at Apple Store outlets and kiosks.^[23] Unlike the full consumer version, only three cups are available, the menu and Coin Rush mode are inaccessible, and points cannot be saved when the player quits the app. Before the 1st Anniversary Tour, this demo was the only way to play New York Minute, Tokyo Blur (up until the Summer Festival Tour), and Paris Promenade since their debut tours.

Toad Cup	New York Minute	3DS Toad Circuit	N64 Koopa Troopa Beach	Do Jump Boosts Yoshi, New York Minute
Mario Cup	Tokyo Blur	3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon	3DS Rock Rock Mountain	Goomba Takedown Mario, Tokyo Blur
Peach Cup	Paris Promenade	3DS Daisy Hills	3DS Shy Guy Bazaar	Vs. Mega Bowser Any character, Paris Promenade

There are only 10 playable characters, 7 karts, and 6 gliders available in the demo.

Differences in power-saving mode

This section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Like in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 8, there are some minor and major differences on the menus and race courses when setting the game to "power-saving" mode, to maintain device performance (in older supported phone models) and decrease battery usage.

General differences

Opponents do not animate nor emit voices.
The minimap does not appear in races.
The player's model has low quality textures.
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.
The screen has a lower resolution, resulting in slightly pixelated graphics.

Course-specific differences

In SNES Ghost Valley 1 and DS Luigi's Mansion, the decorative Boos in the course's sky are absent.
In SNES Choco Island 1, SNES Choco Island 2, GBA Sunset Wilds, and RMX Choco Island 1, the brightness of the mud is absent.
In N64 Kalimari Desert and 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, and Merry Mountain, the falling snow is absent.
In 3DS Neo Bowser City, the rain is absent, resulting in the removal to the rain's ground and screen effects.
In 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon, the cheering Toads are absent, though they can still be heard.
In DS Waluigi Pinball, the sound that plays after leaving the pinball table is absent.
In DS Airship Fortress, the cheering Shy Guys are absent.
In Wii Maple Treeway, the petals on the water and the falling leaves are absent.

Updates

Main article: Mario Kart Tour update history

This section is a stub. You can help the Super Mario Wiki by expanding it.

Differences from previous Mario Kart games

This is the first Mario Kart game where every character must technically be unlocked, and the only one to not have a set starting roster. This includes Mario as well.
The number of racers has reverted back to eight, like in all mainline games up to Mario Kart DS and in Mario Kart 7.
Apart from 3DS Rainbow Road, one of the sectioned courses in the game, all races consist of two laps, not 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.
- In addition, on the final lap, the music's pitch is increased by four semitones, not one.
  - The only exception to both of the above is 3DS Rainbow Road, which reuses its final lap music from Mario Kart 7 and always begins at the start of the song.
The Lakitu referee does not appear at the beginning of and throughout races.
Stars are not obtainable from regular item boxes in single player mode, with item frenzies having similar effects instead. However, in multiplayer mode (where frenzies are not obtainable), stars appear from item boxes in rulesets with fewer than three item slots.
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 7) 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 nitro courses (e.g. RMX Mario Circuit 1, Tokyo Blur 2).
- Unlike in previous games, the numbered courses (the real city-inspired courses in particular) take place in the same map, but use a different course layout: the starting line is in the same location, but the courses split off from each other onto different routes.
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.
So far, there are no retro courses from Mario Kart 8 in this game, making it the first Mario Kart title since Mario Kart: Super Circuit to have retro courses but not at least one from every previous Mario Kart series.
- Due to the absence of anti-gravity in Mario Kart Tour, very few courses from Mario Kart 8 would be able to be included. Despite this, GCN Yoshi Circuit and N64 Royal Raceway retain their overall design and layout from their Mario Kart 8 iteration.
This is the first Mario Kart game to lack losing themes and animations after races. If a racer finishes in the 5th place or lower, the theme for racers in the 2nd to the 4th place will be played and no animations of the racer will be shown.

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."^[24] 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 lamenting the lack of a multiplayer mode.^[25] Steven Asarch of Newsweek complained about the game's "freemium greed" and that it is "ruined by microtransactions".^[26]

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."^[27] Chris Scullion of Nintendo Life gave a positive review, praising the lack of an energy system, the points system, and the large 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.^[28] 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.^[29] CJ Andriessen of Destructoid gave a negative review, criticizing the game's microtransactions and how the game rarely gives the player Rubies, stating "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, the game's controls, stating "There are three control options, none of which are completely sufficient.", 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 Tour."^[30] Kyle Hilliard of IGN, in a mixed review, praised the series' 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", praised how items are used, the game's bonus challenges, and the brevity of the races, cups, and bonus challenges, while criticizing 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.^[31] 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 and its graphics.^[32]

As of August 26, 2020, Mario Kart Tour received a mixed Metacritic Metascore of 58, and a negative User Score of 3.8.^[33] Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, as of August 26, 2020, Mario Kart Tour received an average of 4.1 out of 5 stars on Google Play^[34], and an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars on the App Store.^[35]

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 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."

+*This is the first ''Mario Kart'' game where every character must technically be unlocked, and the only one to not have a set starting roster. This includes Mario as well.
 *The number of racers has reverted back to eight, like in all mainline games up to ''Mario Kart DS'' and in ''Mario Kart 7''.
 *Apart from [[Rainbow Road (3DS)|3DS Rainbow Road]], one of the sectioned courses in the game, all races consist of two laps, not the usual three.
