Jump to navigationJump to search

In Mario Kart Tour, every driver, kart and glider has a special skill that grants particular advantages during a race, such as special items or bonus points.

Driver skills

For drivers, a special skill refers to a unique item that only certain characters can obtain from Item Boxes. As of version 2.6.0, if a Super driver reaches level 5 or a High-End driver reaches level 4, they unlock an improved version of their special skill (with a "+" symbol added on its name). Starting with version 2.8.0, Normal drivers are also eligible for an improved special skill at level 7. The following table classifies drivers by their special skill.
