Leave a Review Mario Kart Tour
Unable to play because of update
Don’t waste your money or your time with this app. I tried to update for the new Princess Tour and the update is so slow that it freezes and crashes the app. I’ve done everything from uninstalling then reinstalling the app, turning off cellular data then turning it on, turning on airplane mode then turning it back off, and shutting off and restarting my phone itself. I have a lot of storage space so that isn’t the issue. I’ve battled with this for the last 4 hours and the app will reinstall but it’s extremely slow. When the app finally is installed I try to download the current tour only for me to just get a “communication error” and the update is extremely slow and will go up only to the 27% and it will not download at all, resulting me in having to do all of the above again. I’ve invested so much progress and a lot of my hard earned money into this game only for me not being able to play it at all let alone access it and get my progress back. Because of an update the app is useless and will not install at all and I got ripped off and scammed. This app is a scam. I’ll never install any app that comes from this company because now I can’t install and play the game at all anymore plus all my progress is gone and my money spent is wasted because of ONE UPDATE. This is ridiculous and I want all of my money I’ve spent on this worthless app refunded on my card. Pure utter trash. Don’t bother. Waste of time and money.Show lessIt’s a game
The one thing of note is that you don’t have to pay to play, however paying gets you farther along from unlocking all the characters faster, but if you are going to spend money on this game the only thing you should be getting is the subscription, the prices for rubies are stupid at $2 for 4 and you can’t even get anything with 4. And they just changed the whole buying pipes method which makes everything a lot worse off for gems.
Now with money out of the way this isn’t exactly mario cart as the tracks are all changed with jumps and ramps and other stuff to keep the game interesting, there are points you will earn to try and get the most stars and objectives to complete to get gems gold and stickers as well as some objectives unlock drivers, there are ranked cups where you compete to get prizes and until you get some better characters the odds are you won’t place, there are quite a few hackers in the online play that make themselves invincible with is annoying but it’s what you get when you play with others. Cups change every few weeks so you don’t play the same places all the time as they cycle through there are some annoyances but otherwise it’s a fine gameShow lessRegarding the recent shop overhaul- we STILL need to talk about rubies
So, MKT recently overhauled it’s shop to include Daily Spotlights of high-end drivers, carts and drivers- a great idea that I like, along with slightly more frequent opportunities to fire gold pipes (and regular ones, which the current tour is including in tour gifts). But now that brings me to the PROBLEM with the new shop, especially with the Daily Spotlights. Every single one is payable only in rubies, ranging in price from 100 to 150 rubies. And they’re not the only things priced only in rubies. And rubies are neither common nor cheap, so what does that mean for those players, like myself, who cannot afford to plunk down for rubies (3 now cost $1.99- just 3- to give you a little idea of the real-world money cost, and again, the Spotlight cost 100-plus rubies each) every time a driver they (or I) have been waiting to get becomes available? I hope this means that, with so much priced only in rubies, that the rubies will become more easily obtainable in larger amounts and for less money (or better yet, for free, and WITHOUT having to complete, or buy, challenge cards or come in first to third on a ranked course). Hopefully they do make the ruby system fairer- it would only BE fair to F2P players, like me.Show less
