A new app “Mario Kart Tour” raced its way into the app store on in late September. Nintendo released the game for pre-order on August 27th 2019 and it has already been downloaded by over 10 million people. This very popular game had more downloads in one day than the 2016 trend, “Pokemon Go”.

I personally think that the game is super fun to play. I play it in my free time and it’s really enjoyable. I love playing Mario Kart on the tv with my sister, but it’s so much easier to play on my phone. My favorite thing about the game is that it is easy to turn, use power ups, and drift.

The new mobile “Mario Kart” is very easy to use. Players do not need buttons to control their vehicle; this causes the kart to always stay in motion and makes it way easier to drift. 

The new game includes over 20 different characters; some original drivers like Mario and Luigi, and some new exclusive ones only available at certain tour locations. Even though some characters, cars and gliders include in app purchases, they are super affordable. You can also buy coins and rubies to help buy these items!

Every couple weeks, the theme of the game is changed; the game is currently taking a tour through Tokyo. These different tours can help you unlock rare characters or cars. 

Racers can also play with others on exclusive tracks. After completing each race the players will earn stars based off of a final score. If received 5 stars on all four races, the cup is considered completed. 

If you enjoy Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii or Wii U, you will definitely enjoy the amazing features on Mario Kart Tour. If you haven’t already, you can download Mario Kart Tour on Apple and Android devices.
