What is the Mario Kart Tour release date?
Mario Kart Tour was released on September 25, 2019 on both Android and iOS.
How do you play?
Mario Kart Tour is played by simply swiping your finger across the screen. Swipe left or right to steer, or tap on the screen to launch items and jump.
Drift boosting is also a part of the game, and there are two ways to do it. In automatic mode, simply hold your finger down on the screen when turning, then release to boost. In manual drift mode you have to start your turn, then release and tap again to drift. It's a bit more difficult, but manual drift is the only way to get the strongest level 3 boosts.
How much does Mario Kart Tour cost?
Mario Kart Tour is free-to-play, with in-app purchases. It's primarily monetized via gacha-style (or loot box) character and item unlocks.
Do I need a Nintendo Account to play?
Yes. You will need a Nintendo Account in order to get a registration card (above) and play the game. A free Nintendo Account works fine.
What is a Gold Pass?
A Gold Pass is a subscription service that allows players to get in-game benefits for a monthly fee. Benefits include Gold Gift unlocks from each tour, special badges, and 200cc mode. There is a two-week trial, after which it will cost $4.99 a month.
What are Tours?
To keep things interesting, the game is broken up into two-week long Tours, each of which have a different theme. The launch Tour theme is New York City, and features a limited time course and a few special characters inspired by the Big Apple.
Is Mario Kart Tour multiplayer?
No, you do not race head-to-head with other players. Instead, opponents are computer controlled and your high score is compared to other players around the world.
