Mario Kart Tour v4.0.0

Mario Kart Tour takes Nintendo’s famous kart racing formula and squeezes it onto your phone. Race as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the rest of the gang on tracks inspired by real cities — New York, Tokyo, Paris, and more — alongside classic Mario Kart circuits.

The controls are one-thumb simple: your kart steers and accelerates automatically, so you focus on drifting, items, and timing your boosts. It sounds easy until you are fighting for first place in the final lap with shells flying everywhere.

Collect drivers, karts, and gliders, each with their own special items and course bonuses. The pipe pulls add a collection layer on top of the racing.

Tours rotate every couple of weeks with new courses and challenges, so there is always something fresh. Ranked cups let you climb the leaderboard against other players.

It is Mario Kart distilled into short, punchy mobile races — easy to pick up, surprisingly hard to put down.
