Mario Kart Tour is the first game in the Mario Kart series for Android. Go-kart races with Nintendo video game protagonists.
Nintendo decided to launch Mario Kart over 25 years ago. The first version appeared on the Super NES in 1992 and it had huge commercial and critical success. Since then, it has had several sequelae that have been launched on game consoles like the Nintendo 64 or Wii and portable consoles.

And since Nintendo got into games for Android and iOS a while ago (with Super Mario Run as the most famous game), it is now Mario Kart's turn. The first game in the series for mobile devices is Mario Kart Tour which was announced on February 1, 2018, through a tweet and confirmed as free to start, that is to say, the download will be free but will have to be paid at As the player advances.
Like the rest of the games in this saga, it is a racing simulator (although it is closer to the arcade than the simulation) where you will drive the different cars with characters from the game's console. From Nintendo. After having seen the first images from the own company in the form of videos, we can already say that the game respects the original philosophy of Mario Kart and that it has spectacular graphics and that it will allow making all kinds of Acrobatics and impressive actions behind the wheel of vehicles.
It must be assumed that the characteristics of this title will bring together many of the views on previous games in the Mario Kart saga:
- Several game modes.
- Different playable characters like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Daisy, Mii, or Peach.
- Objects on the track like bananas, blue shells, mushrooms, stars…
- Several models of cards.
- All kinds of circuits were raced.
- Option to play online against all your friends or against players from all over the world.
- Challenges included 'Against Mega Bowser!' And 'Accelerated Jumps'.
- As motivation, the player will be able to collect badges, pilots, vehicles, and more.
- To start playing, the pilot will need to create or link a Nintendo account.
Without a doubt, one of the games from Nintendo could not be missing from the catalog of mobile games of the Japanese company. Even if it took a little longer than we would have liked, since September 25, 2019, players all over the planet can finally enjoy it.
