Ratings and Reviews

Editors’ notes.

With exciting events, famous characters, and wild courses, Nintendo's legendary kart-racing series burns rubber on mobile.

Love this Game...However

It’s been a while since I enjoyed a game like this on my phone, even as an Apple Arcade subscriber... I went ahead and ponied up for the Gold Pass about 1 month after starting Mario Kart Tour, and I’ve found that the value for Gold (Almost) made sense, you get access to a couple high level players, karts etc, and the extra loot from every gift box, as well as access to the 200cc courses, but that’s where the advantage stops. If you ever want to ace these courses (5 Star) from this point forward, it’s not so much a matter of your “skill” in play, as much as it is for the advantage gained by high level players, karts and kites that you would only access from the Pipe. Which means you need Rubies and Rubies are expensive and hard to earn without those higher level players... also the frequency of high level “wins” for plays is ridiculous IMO, i have spent over 1000 rubies on the pipes so far and it just feels like you come up short. This is why I chose to Cancel my Gold Pass, reset my profile and delete/uninstall Mario Kart Tour. Although I enjoyed the brief attempt at multi-player, I think I’ll stick to playing MK on my switch for the competitive feel. Maybe I’ll circle back around, but for now, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

I’m only doing this since multiplayer is available now

The game is ok and it’s addictive because of nostalgia and the gambling of the pipe (which has problems in its own but that’s not what this review is about) I’m a little disappointed in the multiplayer at the moment. I was surprised that the mechanic of only 3 or so characters could get 3 items and have a frenzy was still a thing. I think a better option would to give everyone three items but make the chances of having a frenzy higher for the characters that go along with the map. Second I know it’s still glitchy because it’s still in testing but the ones I’ve seen are items disappearing, “teleporting”, and freezing. I know since it’s online that much can’t be done about the freezing; but when the round starts I don’t understand why there’s a chance of being at the starting line for up to a minute waiting for a countdown. Everyone is already in the lobby and has chosen their carts why can’t the race start Second part of my complaints Why the limitations on coins and xp? I understand that they don’t want people to be op but three hundred coin limit per day is a little stingy especially when the store changes everyday and even gliders cost up to 500 coins alone. Also 80% of the time the store is just filled with items you already have ,and so is the pipe ,I don’t think I should be able to spend rubies and get over 3 duplicates especially since they are so hard to get

Mario Kart Tour

• View history

Mario Kart Tour is a free spin-off Mario Kart game. It's the third Mario game released for mobile operating systems, after Super Mario Run and Dr. Mario World . It was announced on January 31, 2018, and was originally scheduled for release by March 2019, but was later on released on September 25, 2019 in Japan, Oceania, Asia, North America, and Europe.

While the game is designed for mobile devices, much like the game's predecessors on Nintendo handhelds ( Super Circuit , DS , and 7 on dedicated handhelds, and 8 Deluxe on the hybrid Nintendo Switch ), it also supports tablets and even computers with a compatible mobile OS. An update even allowed "Landscape Mode" for users playing on a phone.

With a score of 58% on Metacritic, it has the lowest critical score out of all the Mario Kart games .

Gameplay [ ]

Mario Kart Tour features gameplay similar to Mario Kart 7 , featuring Aerial tricks , Mini-Turbos , Slipstreaming , and gliding sections . Due to the fact that the game is on mobile devices, the controls for this game are significantly different to the mainline Mario Kart games: the player now accelerates automatically, and this also applies to performing tricks (if they have enough speed). The turning physics have been changed, where the player taps and holds to the screen where the kart should go, although there are invisible barriers preventing the kart from crashing into a wall, going off-road (without any kind of boost), or falling off the track.

Races are now in two laps instead of three (except for GCN Baby Park , which has 5 (it has 3 in the T variant), and 3DS Rainbow Road , which has a single lap with 3 sections). Also, Wii Rainbow Road and GBA Bowser's Castle 4 are now one lap in two sections. Also, Races and Battles are once again back to 8 racers.

One of the main features in this game is the points system. At the start of a race or battle, the player is granted starting points that depend on the base points of their selected driver , kart and glider . Also, the player is rewarded points for their actions during the race or battle such as collecting coins , performing Mini-Turbos , gliding , hitting opponents with items , etc. Also, more points are rewarded if the player maintains a combo, which stops if an action took too long to occur. Karts that favor or favorite a course will grant a points multiplier depending on the course actions, and Gliders that favor or favorite a course will grant more points for maintaining a combo and increase the time before the combo streak ends. Lastly, points are rewarded after finishing the race, which is higher for better finishing positions. Also, these points increase as a player levels up.

One of the game's most interesting features is the Frenzy Action , which can only happen to drivers that favorite a track in the game, where the driver can gain access to three item slots. To activate a Frenzy, the driver must get the same item in all three slots. When this happens, the kart temporarily undergoes the effects of a Starman and can use an unlimited number of the item that is involved in getting the frenzy (although some items behave differently than normal in a Frenzy).

Returning from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , each racer has a Special Item (known as a Special Skill in this game), which has a similar effect in the original game. Some Special include items that have been introduced in this game, such as the Mushroom Cannon and the Bubble , and returning items, such as the Giant Banana and the Lucky Seven .

Additionally, courses can be driven backwards, with their backwards layout being referred to as an "R" Variant, short for "Reverse variant." In certain spots, special wire-mesh bridges called Chain-link Paths will be placed so racers can scale a wall (due to the lack of Anti-gravity ). The "Trick variant," or "T" variant for short, places more objects that can be used to get jump boosts , and the chain-link paths from the R variant are one type of such object that can be added. The reverse-trick variant, or "R/T" variant for short, combines the Reverse Variant with the Trick Variant: trickable objects are added to the course while the racers traverse it backwards.

This game has an experience system, where players can gain experience by placing high in races or battles. Higher levels mean more items will be available in the Daily Selects, and more points are rewarded for finishing a race. Also, a bonus reward is rewarded, which is coins or rubies .

Since the Battle Tour , that came out on October 5, 2022, Battle Mode makes a return in this game. However, only the traditional Balloon Battle mode is available, and the rules are similar to the original rules like in Super Mario Kart : Participants start with two balloons, and they are eliminated if both are lost. Also, eliminated opponents appear floating outside the stage, and they can throw either Bananas , Green Shells , and Bob-ombs on the stage.

There is also "Auto Mode", which was added to the game on an update in 2020. Here, the player can watch their loadout and their seven other opponents race on the track with customisable options such as filters and formations. Coins , Star Tokens and Grand Stars are still obtained in this mode. This mode is unavailable in Battle Mode and on online multiplayer.

Content [ ]

Single-player mode [ ].

Single Player Mode revolves around playing through the Tour itself, with each Tour lasting two weeks. Whenever a new Tour launches, it will bring new cups for the player to race or battle through. Each cup contains 3 tracks (or 2 tracks and 1 battle stage) and 1 bonus challenge (challenges that are easily relatable to Mario Kart DS s Mission Mode ). Certain cups are locked from the beginning, which will be unlocked as time passes. The wait time to unlock these cups can be sped up by using Quick Tickets. Originally, the next cups and tracks had to be unlocked by playing the previous track or challenge.

Based on the score a player gets in each race or battle, they will be allotted 0 - 5 Grand Stars , which are used to unlock tour gifts (which can contain Coins , Rubies , Pipes , tickets, Drivers, Karts and Gliders ). Points earned across all the courses (not counting bonus challenges) are totaled together for the All-Cup Ranking score.

The Cups in a Tour in this game are named after a mainline driver who appears in this game, such as Mario and Toad . In this case, the character that has their name featured on a cup will favor all the tracks in the cup, and they will favorite a track that they favor by default.

Since the Mii Tour , the second cup of a Tour is always the Mii Cup. Here, all Mii Racing Suits will favorite the first track of the cup, and favor the other tracks, but they will favorite them if they favor or favorite them by default. Also, all Mii Racing Suits will favor the first track of every cup in the Tour.

Multiplayer Mode [ ]

Multiplayer Mode is available to all players who own the app (not just the Gold Pass players as shown in the first December 2019 Beta test). It puts you against other players to compete for first place, or just to have fun.

Players now have a Multiplayer Rank (similar to the Player Rank, which caps at level 150), and for every top spot they finish in, their bar will fill. Once filled, it will advance players to the next Multiplayer Rank (starting at F, moving onto E, then D, and so on until you eventually reach A).

• All players who advance to the next Multiplayer Rank earn a starting 20% for their bar.

Players can choose from two different Multiplayer race options: Standard Race and Standard Battle. Their rules are updated daily, and the cups players will play in are rotated every 12 minutes, providing players with five different cups per hour. Before the Battle Tour , Gold Races were available before being replaced by Standard Battles.

Standard Race [ ]

In Standard Races, players from all over the world can play simultaneously in a room. There can be from 2 to 8 players racing in a game. Anyone racing in these rooms are limited to the following:

• 100 - 150cc
• 1, 2, or Default item slots
• No Teams or 2 Teams

Standard Battle [ ]

Standard Battles are similar to Standard Races, but they only involve battles on battle stages. Rules are limited to:

• Shells Only, Bananas Only, Bob-ombs Only, Frenzy On

Gold Race (Unavailable) [ ]

Gold Races, unlike Standard Races, were available to only Gold Pass players. The same rules apply from the Standard Race rules, with the only exception being 200cc .

Local/Friend Rooms [ ]

Local Multiplayer rooms can be created by a player who has their location on. Nearby Mario Kart Tour users can then join the room for up to 8-player fun.

Friend rooms abide by the same rules, with the only exception being the fact that you can only play with players on your Friends List.

If you're the creator of a Local/Friend room, you have the ability to set the rules of the race, similar to the daily rules of Standard and Gold Races.

• COM Racers, No COM Racers (if the room isn't full and COM Racers are on, AI characters will fill in the empty spaces of the room
• No Teams or 2-4 Teams

Challenges [ ]

There are many challenges in this game, which reward Rubies , Grand Stars and a badge. each set of challenges has 9 challenges, and when a row of these (whether horizontal, vertical or diagonal) is completed, coins will be rewarded. When all 9 challenges are completed, a bonus reward is given, which is either Rubies , a special driver , kart or glider , or a badge. A Tour also has a set of its own Premium Challenges, which give a lot of good rewards, but these challenges much be purchased with real money and a Gold Pass won't get you them.

Daily Challenge [ ]

Every day, a course is set for a daily challenge, which is the first course they haven't attempted that isn't involved in a current, past or future Weekly Ranking. Here, the player will play as the Driver has the track showcases on their icon even if they haven't been unlocked yet, and the best kart and glider they own for the course. After the race or battle finishes, the player is rewarded a free pipe pull, but on the fourteenth time this finishes in a tour, a badge is rewarded instead.

Weekly Ranking [ ]

In a Tour's Weekly Ranking, players go against 19 other players that have a matching Tier by gathering points on the three tracks (or battle stages) of a selected cup, which is the Tour's first cup for the Tour's first week, and the third cup for the last. At the end of the weekly ranking, the top players receive better rewards and move up to a higher tier, whilst the lower players receive less or no rewards and either move up less tiers, remain in that tier, or move down a tier or two. Higher tiers result in greater rewards at the top positions.

Coin Rush [ ]

In Coin Rush, you play on a special Coin -filled track. Playing as Gold Mario , the player will drive through one lap of the course, collecting Coins that are automatically pulled towards Gold Mario when he approaches them. Red Coins are worth 2, and Blue Coins are worth 5.

Coin Rush requires Rubies or Coin Rush Tickets to play. You can spend extra to increase the multiplier.

• Ticket or 5 Rubies - x2 Coins
• 3 Tickets or 15 Rubies - x6 Coins
• 5 Tickets or 25 Rubies - x10 Coins

In the Shop, players can exchange their coins , Star Tokens and Rubies for new items, drivers , karts and gliders .

• There is the Daily Selects, which sells 3-9 items depending on the player's level. Tickets, drivers, karts and gliders are sold here at a number of coins , with items with higher rarities costing more. Items refresh daily, hence the name, or they can be refreshed by using a Quick Ticket.
• There is the Token Shop, which normally sells sets of coins , rubies , and tickets, a pipe pull that stacks, and a balloon. At special circumstances, Gold Pipes can also appear here. Items refresh after the end of a tour.
• There is the Tier Shop, which sells tickets at a higher price. Items refresh after the end of a tour.
• There is the Mii Racing Suit Shop, which sells up to ten Mii Racing Suits for 70 - 100 Rubies . Items refresh after the end of a tour.
• Underneath the spotlight content is the Daily Spotlight. This features six drivers (excluding Mii Racing Suits), six karts and six gliders that favorite at least one track that is involved in a current, past or future Weekly Ranking in a Tour. These items refresh every day, hence the name, or they can be refreshed by using a Quick Ticket.

The Pipe [ ]

Since 3.0 [ ].

Up until the Battle Tour , the pipes which can be pulled using rubies, including the free pipe pulls by earning Grand Stars , were removed and replaced with the Spotlight Shop and pipes available in Tour Gifts. This time, Pipes can no longer reward Spotlight content, but they can still be used to unlock characters , karts and gliders , as well as reward tickets, coins and rubies . This time, the Pipe's rewards are properly randomised.

Pipes can be purchased at the Token Shop, where they can be purchased up to 34 times per Tour, starting at a price of 20 Star Tokens at the beginning of a Tour. As they are bought, the price increases by 10 until the price reaches 200, and then the price would then increase by 50.

Pipes can also be obtained by playing on multiplayer. As the player plays in this mode a gauge towards a free pipe pull will fill up, which can be received multiple times during the run. When they quit multiplayer, they have the option to fire all the pipes that they have earnt.

Before 3.0 [ ]

Before the Version 3.0.0 Update, The Pipe is a special feature used to unlock characters , karts , and gliders . Rubies are required to fire of the Pipe for either 1 separate item or 10 bundled items, which come at a better price.

• 5 Rubies - 1 Pipe item
• 45 Rubies - 10 Pipe items (10% Ruby discount)

Each tour includes two sets of Spotlight content. Week 1 of the specified tour will include certain Spotlight items that'll help players out during the Ranked Cup of Part 1. Week 2 will include Spotlight items that will help players out during the Ranked Cup of Part 2. There are certain exceptions when it comes down to the Spotlight items; at times, there will be 1 High-end driver, kart, and glider, while at other times there will be a variety of items.

While it may seem random, the Pipe is in fact not completely random. Pipes will have either 100 or 50 items inside of them at the start of their appearance time. Each class (Normal/Super/High-end) of drivers, karts, and gliders has a limit to how many of them can be received. The Pipe can be reset to restore its contents though, allowing you to pull items from a class that you've once emptied.

Once you've received a specific item from any category, its probability will drop, while the rest of the items' probabilities will rise.

Trivia! [ ]

• Nintendo announced Mario Kart Tour via Twitter on January 31, 2018.
• This is in contrast to Super Mario Run s one-time US$9.99 in-app purchase to fully unlock the game, and lower monthly fees for Nintendo Switch Online service.
• Nintendo Network support, though unlike Super Mario Run and company, it has no My Nintendo support.
• Rubies as in-game currency; unlike Super Mario Run , My Nintendo Coins cannot be used.
• Friend lists
• Mario Kart Tour is the ninth release of Mario Kart as consumer software, but as it omits the number 9 in its name, it could indicate that Nintendo distinguishes it from the main Mario Kart series, although it recognises this game as the ninth installment in the franchise, as seen in the trailer for the first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass . [1]
• This is the fourth handheld game of the franchise after Super Circuit , DS , and 7 .
• Mario Kart 8 is the only game in the main series without a currently-confirmed returning stage in this game.
• This is the only Mario Kart game where Mario isn't a starting character.
• In fact, only 3 Characters from the mainline Mario Kart series (excluding the GP series) haven't returned which are Paratroopa (from Mario Kart Double Dash ), R.O.B. (from Mario Kart DS ) and Honey Queen (from Mario Kart 7 ).
• Miis were originally going to appear in the initial release but were removed until the final cut by Version 2.12.0 and Mii Tour, perhaps due to discontinuation of both Miitomo and Pokémon Rumble Rush in 2018 and 2020, Respectively.
• This is the first game to feature the Pipe Frame as a standard Kart since Mario Kart: Super Circuit .
• This game is one of the only games of the Mario Kart franchise to have three items inside a single item box.
• In beta version, emeralds were used instead of rubies .
• This is the second game where Lakitu is not present in the pre-race countdown.
• S to S+6 ranks are only available for Gold Pass users.
• This game features the most clone characters in the entire Mario Kart series.
• 3DS Rainbow Road averts this as the final lap music is taken from Mario Kart 7 .
• Before Holiday Tour (December 2022) it used to be raised to 5 Semitones.
• Piranha Plant Pipeline is the only non-city course that didn't return as a retro track in the Booster Course Pass of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe .

Hey there, fellow gamers and racing enthusiasts! Buckle up as we embark on a thrilling journey through the world of gaming, where the iconic Mario Kart meets the mighty Xbox. In this post, we’re diving headfirst into the bubbling cauldron of questions: Can You Play Mario Kart on Xbox?

Is there a way to rev up those virtual engines on the Xbox console? And if so, how? So, let’s kickstart our engines and race through the twists and turns of this exciting topic!

• Does Xbox Have Mario Kart?

Before we rev our engines and hit the tracks, let’s set the stage. If you’ve been living under a gaming rock, you might be wondering, “Hey, does Xbox even have Mario Kart ?” Well, my friends, here’s the deal: Xbox, the beloved console brought to us by Microsoft, isn’t home to the zany racing sensation that is Mario Kart. But hey, don’t let that deflate your gaming tires just yet. Mario Kart, with its wild antics and power-ups, has been exclusively zipping around on Nintendo consoles like the iconic Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Alright, let’s dive into the real deal now – can you maneuver Mario and his pals on your trusty Xbox? The short answer is no, Mario Kart hasn’t officially drifted onto Xbox tracks. But wait, there’s more! While Mario Kart remains on the Nintendo turf, that doesn’t mean Xbox racers are left stranded without any racing thrills.

Picture this: You’re an Xbox enthusiast yearning for some rubber-burning action. Fear not, for there are some fantastic alternative racing games gracing the Xbox platform. Titles like “Forza Horizon” series and “Project Cars” have been dominating the Xbox tracks with their own brand of high-speed escapades. These games might not feature our mustached plumber and his colorful crew, but they do bring their own unique flair and adrenaline-packed races to the table.

• How To Play Mario Kart on Xbox

Now, let’s tackle the million-dollar question: How can you quench your thirst for Mario Kart-style racing on your trusty Xbox? One word: Emulation. This fancy term involves creating a virtual environment on your Xbox to mimic the experience of a Nintendo console. But hang on a sec – before you rush to Google how to fire up your virtual engines, there’s a speed bump. Emulating Mario Kart on Xbox isn’t a stroll in the gaming park.

You see, emulation isn’t all fun and games. It’s a tricky business that involves a mix of technical wizardry and legal twists. While some gamers have managed to pull off this emulation magic, it’s not a straightforward journey. There’s a risk of compatibility hiccups and even legal implications that could rain on your emulation parade.

• Tips for Xbox Racing Games and Alternatives

Hold onto your controller, because we’re about to shift gears and explore some sweet tips for those who’ve decided to embrace the Xbox racing landscape. While Mario Kart on Xbox might be a dream deferred, there’s no shortage of exhilarating alternatives to fuel your need for speed.

First off, take a spin with the “Forza Horizon” series. These games not only showcase stunning visuals but also offer an open-world experience where you can blaze through picturesque locales. And remember, practice makes perfect! Each racing game has its own unique mechanics, so don’t be afraid to spend time honing your skills.

If you’re in the mood for something that balances realism with arcade-style fun, “Project Cars” is a title that should be on your radar. It’s like strapping into a race car and zooming across tracks that feel incredibly lifelike.

Community’s Hopes for Mario Kart on Xbox

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s zoom into the heart of the gaming community, where whispers and rumors buzz like neon lights in a bustling city. Gamers have been swapping tales of the day when Mario Kart might finally roll onto Xbox tracks. The idea of this crossover between Nintendo and Xbox has ignited sparks of excitement among fans, and the chatter has only grown louder.

While there might not be an official announcement yet, the gaming universe is no stranger to unexpected collaborations. The possibility of Mario Kart hitting Xbox roads isn’t entirely out of the question, especially as the world of gaming embraces cross-platform play like never before.

In the realm of gaming, wishes and dreams often find a way to weave themselves into reality. As we wrap up our journey through the world of Mario Kart on Xbox, let’s remember this: While the iconic racer might not have officially taken the Xbox route, there’s a treasure trove of racing adventures waiting to be explored.

From the heart-pounding “Forza Horizon” to the intense realism of “Project Cars,” Xbox gamers have their very own pit stops for high-speed fun. So, fellow racers, keep those controllers charged and your spirits high. The race for exhilaration and enjoyment continues, with or without our beloved Mario Kart on Xbox. Until next time, may your races be full of adrenaline and your gaming adventures be epic!

So, there you have it – a winding journey through the world of Mario Kart on Xbox. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual gamer, the thrill of the race is something that unites us all. Until the day Mario Kart decides to cruise onto the Xbox platform, let’s embrace the alternatives and continue to celebrate the joy of gaming.
