Mario Kart Tour is a mobile game in theMario Kart series. UnlikeSuper Mario Run, it is free-to-play from the App Store and Google Play. The game reuses many assets fromMario Kart 7 andMario Kart 8, with a style adapted for the mobile format. Gameplay mechanics such as gliding,underwater driving, and character-specificspecial items return from past entries. In addition, the game introduces some features new to theMario Kart series, such as reverse courses, trick courses, a combo system that grants points based on actions, and theFrenzy mechanic, which allows racers with three item slots to deploy a large amount of any item during a race, includingSpiny Shells andBullet Bills, at random should said item be in all three slots.

The game was first announced during a financial briefing on January 31, 2018.^[7] 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.^[8] 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 asSuper Mario Run, with the exceptions of Belgium and Vietnam, the former of which banned games with loot boxes in 2019 for violating gambling laws.^[9] Users who pre-registered acquired the game a day early. Unlike with the previousSuper Mario mobile games, aNintendo Account is required for it to be playable.

On October 31, 2019, Nintendo announced the first multiplayer beta test exclusive to Gold Pass members,^[10] 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,^[11] 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).^[12]

On September 1, 2022, Nintendo announced thatBattle mode would be added to the game on October 5, 2022.^[13] It was released in the eponymousBattle Tour.

Thetour 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, andgliders. On September 11, 2023, it was announced that the2023 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 only new content introduced following the Anniversary Tour were somebadges celebrating subsequent anniversaries, aShop descriptionMedia:MKT Tour112 Special Offer Sky-High Flyer.jpg for theSky-High Flyer, and mechanic variants for both Mario and Luigi and the Tiny Titan and its variants to promoteMario Kart World.

Mario Kart Tour was the last original game release to featureCharles Martinet voicingBaby Mario andBaby Luigi before it was announced that he had moved to the role of Mario Ambassador.Kevin Afghani succeeded him in voicing both characters, starting withMario Kart World.

Gameplay

Dr. Bowser racing onWii Koopa Cape T

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 throughItem 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 toMario 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 usingMushrooms, albeit slower.

The game's mechanics are based onMario Kart 7, and many of its courses (both new and retro) return inMario Kart Tour. A few features fromMario Kart 8 that required substantial changes to the game, such asBikes,ATVs,anti-gravity, and 12-player races, are missing, while the 200cc class is present. Other features fromMario 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 withGrand Stars,experience points for the used driver, kart, and glider whose base points are not maxed out, andcoins. 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.

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 aFrenzy 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 toMario 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 theBattle Tour, each tour has fifteen cups, and adds new drivers, karts, gliders, and courses. Starting with theBaby Rosalina Tour until the2022 Anniversary Tour, each tour had twelve cups. Starting with the2019 Paris Tour until theMario Bros. Tour, each tour had eighteen cups. Starting from theNew York Tour until the2019 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. InMario Kart Tour, cups are named after the playable characters.

Ranked cup

Main article:This Week's Ranking

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 theCooking Tour, tier 25 and up rewardspoints-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 forMii Racing Suits). The base points can be increased through experience points obtained at the end of the races or throughpoint-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			Karts and gliders
	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 (until 2022 Anniversary Tour)	760	975	1400	380	450	700
Third raised cap	768	990	1430	384	456	715
Top cap (since Battle Tour)	816	1080	1610	408	492	805

Bonus points

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

Bonus points are points awarded every time a special event happens during the race. Said event might be aJump 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'sspecial 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	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:

Additional internal data (RaceScoreParam)

The following internal data stems from thePeach Tour.^[14]

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

Engine class dependent points-related parameters (EngineLevelParams)
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

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

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:

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, andTime 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 thePrincess 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 astar ticket will reward a Grand Star per ticket used. Up until thePeach 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 ofMario 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

Gold Mario in Coin Rush during theBangkok 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.

InCoin 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 theGold 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 theCooking 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 theSuper Mario Kart Tour). Starting from the2021 Autumn Tour, the number of coins is raised to 500 and held every Saturday, though in theToad 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 theWild 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 the2021 Autumn Tour, the Token Aplenty Event is held every Monday (formerly every Tuesday in the 2021 Autumn Tour and the2021 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 theWild 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 theBattle Tour.

There are 42 drivers, 81 karts, and 65 gliders, meaning there are 188 items to collect from the All-Clear Pipe altogether.

As of theWedding 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 theAnniversary Tour (2022), the player received 5 rubies on days 5 and 10, in stead of a free pipe pull.

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

Multiplayer

Example of progressing towards a higher multiplayer grade.

The grading system in multiplayer mode, which continues up to S+9.

Multiplayer mode was added toMario 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 beTeam Games^[15] (not to be confused withTeam 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 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 theSnow 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 theMii Tour (2022)) long-term challenges associated with Ranked Cups; Multiplayer Challenges (added in theBaby Rosalina Tour), which are long-term challenges for multiplayer mode; Multiplayer Battle Challenges (added in theBattle Tour), which are long-term challenges for multiplayer Battle mode; Tour, Tour Multiplayer (added in theSummer Tour (2021) as part of theSummertime Challenges, later permanent in theFrost 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 theCooking 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 the1st 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 theSnow Tour onwards, daily challenges are no longer featured.

Premium Challenges

The first Premium Challenge card in theSnow Tour.

As of theSnow 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 arepoints-cap tickets of increasing levels. Starting from theSingapore Tour, the Total Points Challenge features two challenge cards and goes up to 900,000 points, with more rewards. TheBattle 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 beinglevel-boost tickets of increasing levels. Part of the rewards can only be claimed by Gold Pass subscribers.

Since theBaby 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 theBattle 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.

5	10	18	28	38	45	55	65
Mario	Peach	Bowser	Luigi	Daisy	Donkey Kong	Wario	Yoshi

This was revised in version 3.4.1 to include additional characters and items as listed below.

5		15		25		35		45		55		65		75
Mario	Peach	Bowser	Luigi	Daisy	Donkey Kong	Wario	Yoshi	Pipe ×10	Gold Glider	Pipe ×10	B Dasher	Pipe ×10	Metal Mario	Gold Pipe ×10

Shop

The shop consists of six different sections.

Spotlight Shop

Introduced in theBattle 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 theAnniversary 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 the2019 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.

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

Until the2020 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
	Driver	Kart	Glider	Driver	Kart	Glider	Driver	Kart	Glider	Driver	Kart	Glider
Amount	32	26	16	9	7	4	1	1	1	1	1	1

Another common variant was thespecial 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.

Items obtained from a typical new 50 items pipe
Item	Normal			Super			High-End
	Driver	Kart	Glider	Driver	Kart	Glider	Driver	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) 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 theMii Tour (2022), the Mii Racing Suit section consists of 10 differentMii 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 theWild 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 withevent tokens or team tokens. In several tours, the Token Shop is upgraded to feature various High-End items, tickets, and other items. Since theSamurai Tour, pipe launches can be bought as well.

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 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 playCoin Rush. The first row is available to all players and contains only Normal items andpoint-boost tickets, the second row is available to players level 7 and above and contains Normal and Super items along withitem tickets andquick 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 alevel-boost ticket or, since the2022 Mii Tour, apoints-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.

Daily Selects' items
Item			Price
Base set	Additional
Item ticket			50
Point-boost ticket			100
Quick ticket (no longer available since the Cooking Tour)			1,000	N/A
Normal	Kart or glider		500	1,000
	Driver		800	1,500
Super	Kart or glider		2,000	7,500
	Driver		3,000	9,000
High-End	Kart or glider		10,000	25,000
	Driver		12,000	30,000
Points-cap ticket	Normal		2,000	N/A
	Super		5,000	N/A
	High-End		20,000	N/A

Since the2019 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 theTokyo Tour and most items from theNew York Tour. The Quick Ticket was removed and more items were added in theCooking 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 theBerlin 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 theMii Tour (2022), more items were added in the Daily Selects again; they are marked with two asterisks (**). In theBattle Tour, more items were added in the Daily Selects again; they are marked with three asterisks (***).

Tier Shop

Since the2020 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 theAnniversary 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 theMii 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 purchasedifferent amounts of rubies with real-life currency.

Profile

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 collectbadges 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.

As part of theFriend Ranking added in theBaby 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.

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 uploadMii 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.

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.

Characters

See also:Mario Kart Tour in-game statistics

Counting each character variant and Mii Racing Suit separately, there are 267 playable characters inMario Kart Tour, the largest number of playable characters in aSuper Mario game. Notable new playable characters to theMario Kart series includePeachette,Pauline,Hammer Bro,Boomerang Bro,Fire Bro,Ice Bro,Monty Mole,Dixie Kong,Captain Toad,Nabbit,King Bob-omb,Kamek,Chargin' Chuck, andPoochy, 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. (as a 2D sprite variant) is playable for the first time sinceSuper Mario Kart,Petey Piranha is playable for the first time sinceMario Kart: Double Dash!!, andDiddy Kong,Birdo, andFunky Kong are playable for the first time sinceMario Kart Wii. Excluding characters not from theSuper Mario franchise, only two playable characters from previous mainlineMario Kart games do not return inMario Kart Tour, namelyKoopa Paratroopa fromMario Kart: Double Dash!! andHoney Queen fromMario Kart 7.

Miis also return from previousMario Kart games, debuting in the2022 Mii Tour. Like inMario Kart 8, they have a multitude of different racing suits they can wear; however, each suit now has its ownspecial skill. There are 65 suits, with at least one new suit being added in each tour from the 2022 Mii Tour until the2023 Anniversary Tour.

Upon launching the game for the first time, players will be given eitherToad orToadette. After the tutorial, they are granted a freepipe launch which grants Peachette,Metal Mario, orDry Bowser.^[16][17] The Red Mii Racing Suit is also given as a free gift for players.Gold Mario is the only playable character inCoin 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 nearbycoins to himself, with this having a larger radius in Coin Rush than otherwise.

Unlike in otherMario 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 morefavored and favorite courses.

The only differences between drivers in the main statistics affect acceleration and weight, and depend on the driver's size class.^[18]

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 340karts and 238gliders inMario Kart Tour, the most of anyMario 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 ownspecial 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 inMario Kart 7,Mario Kart 8, andMario 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 inMario Kart Tour.

Courses

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 allMario Kart games. Until theAnniversary Tour (2023), at least one additional course was added at the start of almost every tour. Notably,Mario Kart Tour introduces course variants,^[a] with courses having up to three or four 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),^[22][23] labeled "A" (Acrobatique) in French and "X" (Extreme) in all other languages, feature many additional ramps,Kanaami roads, and obstacles with which to performJump Boosts, but are usually otherwise the same. Some specific T variants feature other alterations, such as adding Kanaami Roads to replace glider sections (like inDS Airship Fortress T), changing the order the course is traversed in (like inN64 Kalimari Desert 2T), or even changing the starting location (like in3DS Rock Rock Mountain T). Every race course in the game exceptGBA 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 the2019 Winter Tour, after which every tour has had three to five R/T variants (of any course type). From then to the2020 Trick Tour, each tour saw one to three new ones added. Every race course in the game exceptGBA Bowser's Castle 4 and3DS Rock Rock Mountain has an R/T variant.

• Courses marked with "B" (Battle) are modified for use withinBattle Mode, and typically take place within a condensed version of the course. Only two race courses in the game have a B variant, beingNew York Minute andParis Promenade.

When counting R, T, and R/T variants separately from their normal counterparts, the total number of courses in the game is 541. Adding the two B variants, the total becomes 543.

Prior to theBattle 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.

New

There are eighteen originalrace courses inMario Kart Tour, referred to as "new courses". If each individual route is counted separately, the total increases to fifty-three.

City courses

44 of the 50 new courses are based on real cities. There are fourteen cities represented in the game, namelyNew York City,Tokyo,Paris,London,Vancouver,Los Angeles,Berlin,Sydney,Singapore,Amsterdam,Bangkok,Athens,Rome, andMadrid. 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.

Remix

Mario Kart Tour introduces a new category of course calledremix courses, which have the "RMX" prefix prepended to their names. These courses have their designs taken from theSuper Mario Kart course environments (with the exception of RMX Bowser's Castle 1, which is instead based onGBA 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, theramps in the RMX Choco Island courses, theStar Rings in RMX Rainbow Road 1, theMushroom Trampolines in RMX Rainbow Road 2, theWater 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 inMario Kart Tour (73 if countingN64 Kalimari Desert 2 separately fromN64 Kalimari Desert). 26 courses make their debut as classic courses: Donut Plains 2, Vanilla Lake 1, Bowser Castle 3, and Vanilla Lake 2 fromSuper Mario Kart; Boo Lake, Cheep-Cheep Island, Sunset Wilds, Yoshi Desert, Lakeside Park, and Bowser's Castle 4 fromMario Kart: Super Circuit; Mario Circuit fromMario Kart DS; DK Summit, Daisy Circuit, Dry Dry Ruins, Moonview Highway, and Rainbow Road fromMario Kart Wii, and ten of the twelve returning courses returning fromMario Kart 7. There are no classic courses fromMario Kart 8, making this the first mainlineMario Kart with classic courses to not have at least one classic course from every previous mainlineMario Kart game. Despite this, several classic courses that appeared inMario 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 toMario Kart 8.

Like inMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe, thefinish line banners for certain classic courses use the classicMario Kart logo. The courses fromSuper Mario Kart toMario Kart: Double Dash!!, as well as remix courses, use an updated version of the classic logo, while the courses fromMario Kart DS toMario Kart 7, as well as the second section ofN64 Kalimari Desert 2 and the second banner in the R/T variant ofGCN Baby Park, use the current logo.GCN DK Mountain is an exception to this, as despite it being aMario Kart: Double Dash!! course, the banner uses the current logo instead of the updated classic logo.

Super Mario Kart (SNES)

Fifteen courses return fromSuper Mario Kart, with the only absent courses from this game beingBowser Castle 1,Bowser Castle 2,Koopa Beach 1,Mario Circuit 4, andGhost Valley 3.

Mario Circuit 1, Choco Island 2, Donut Plains 1, and Koopa Troopa Beach 2 return as classic courses fromMario Kart DS, Ghost Valley 2 and Mario Circuit 3 return fromMario Kart Wii, Mario Circuit 2 and Rainbow Road return fromMario Kart 7 (with Rainbow Road also returning fromMario Kart 8), Donut Plains 3 returns fromMario 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.

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 collectteam tokens on courses, with the winning team being whichever collects the most total team tokens by the end of the tour.

Course elements

The following tables list elements that slow racers down, crash them, offer them aJump 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, seeMario 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 undergoinginvincibility frames or are under the effects of aFrenzy,Mega Mushroom,Bullet Bill, orSuper 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.).
