- —In-game tagline
Break Item Boxes is a type of bonus challenge inMario Kart Tour. In these challenges, the object is to break a certain number ofItem Boxes in a course before reaching thefinish line. Item Boxes found in these challenges only provide a single item, such as aCoin,Mushroom,Mega Mushroom,Super Star orFire Flower. They move in various different patterns, such as gliding along the track, gliding from side to side, or revolving, and may emerge frompipes or other off-road spots. In each Break Item Boxes bonus challenge, the player's given driver has a set amount of item slots ranging from one to three.
