DONT PLAY ONLINE
Nintendo is yet once again not capable of producing a game with good online-play capabilities! Isn’t that the point of Mario Kart “Tour”? The Kart Pro challenge (3 wins in a row online play) is impossible - several times I had 2 wins and joined a 3rd game and it failed. WHICH RESET THE STREAK. Bro, get good
I really wanted to enjoy Mario Kart Tour, but unfortunately, it’s a huge disappointment. The controls are clunky and not as responsive as they should be, making it frustrating to play, especially during tighter races. The game heavily pushes microtransactions, with tons of content locked behind paywalls or random loot boxes, which makes progression feel more like a money grab than a fun experience.
The constant push for "premium" passes and in-game purchases takes away from the enjoyment, and it’s really hard to ignore how much the game tries to squeeze money out of you. The AI also feels unfairly difficult at times, and it's hard to make any meaningful progress without spending money or grinding for hours. Overall, Mario Kart Tour feels more like a cash grab than a well-designed racing game, and I can’t recommend it.

Mario kart tour mobile racing game
It’s a very good game
Since I’ve only just come back to it and it’s been a long while I thought about some good ideas.
- adding newer maps which has not seen before
Like some from N64 or Gamecube with a twist of new characters that could be included.
- Next a new suggestion of future projects
A game like Mario Kart Tour could be put onto switch consoles and some nostalgia ones as well this would be tremendous with the likes of fan favourites of the new upcoming GTA VI only going to be on Xbox and PlayStation but not on switch yet but it should be and or possibly a red dead redemption 3 or I’ve never seen a Bully game on switch at all as it’s never come across on the Nintendo consoles plus the switch lite needs a variety nowerdays, thanks to the developers who created this and a big compliment to Nintendo who takes out the boredom of any player and takes take theirs mind of things.
Sadlt this will be replacing Animal crossing pocket camp will be ceasing next month 😢😥 as it it will be going to end as it will also become deeply missed.
As more players will move onto the OG Mario Kart Tour it’s fun and child friendly with a entertainment purpose for any gamer alike 🎮
The cons of the mobile game itself is it struggles to load I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this but I have when it wants to have the urge to crash sometimes and having the longer wait until the ‘download data’ is complete

💰So much microtransactions!!!
This game has so much in app purchases!! Its so expensive if you want to get more coins or any other currency. This game also heavily advertises the "gold pass" which is a monthly subscription which just gives you special 'rewards'. i did'nt want to subscribe to it but it kept popping up on the screen and it was so annoying. Also for the pipes you have to pay a expensive amount of rubies which is terrible but if you don't have enough.. you have to pay for more and its really hard to get more in the game by racing. They are just popularising on a gaming franchise which has a lot of money, the recent movie got even more profit for Nintendo , so what a pain that that money that comes in from merchandise, video games (and MOST IMPORTANTLY MOBILE APPS!!) goes to one of the most popular and well know gaming companies IN THE WORLD!!! I stopped playing this game a year ago and I will NEVER PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN!!! This game just wants to WASTE YOUR MONEY and is a real CASH GRAB too!!! COST OF LIVING in the UK is rasing the prices even MORE!!!! THIS GAME IS •••• AND THE MONEY THAT THE COMPANY HAS SHOULD RATHER GO TO POOR/HOMELESS PEOPLE AND CHARITIES!!! IF YOU CARE ABOUT FINANCES/BILLS/HIGH PRICES DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!! It drains your money!!
There are better apps like this out there.
Rating: -10/10

This game stole my kidneys
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

High quality but very much pay-to-win
The good parts: Good art and music and reasonably fun controls. Lots of tracks that change out often.
The overwhelming bad: If you try to play free-to-play, the game nags you often to spend money, and is VERY stingy on progression if you aren’t paying the monthly fee for Gold Pass. The “microtransactions” to buy extra rubies are insanely expensive - for the price of less than a half dozen high end drivers, karts, or gliders in the Australian market, you could actually get a Switch, a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and all the DLC for it. And the game is designed so that High End drivers (and karts and gliders) are the only ones worth anything, and they can usually only be purchased with rubies. The silver “normal” tiers are nearly completely useless, and the gold “super” ones are only rarely good.

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.

Great game but poor shop
Enjoyable races, check. But the shop, coins and rubies do t seem to match with what you earn in the game by playing it, not only is there a limit to coins you earn from basic racing that is pitiful compared to how much daily coins things in the shop cost - although there are other conditional ways of getting coins, there also is no direct way to earn rubies… the shop doesn’t make sense to a player, it’s not replay ability, it’s torturous jumping through hoops. I wouldn’t treat someone I dislike that badly, let alone someone that I want to like my game!

I just don’t get the hate anymore.
The hate was at least SOMEWHAT understandable when gacha pipes were still a thing but now it’s just unnecessary. The game has the most courses,characters,items,music,karts,gliders,missions,challenges,etc out of any Mario kart game. The characters are easy to access if you just get good (and not very good just below average good) No money is required to unlock most things and if it is then it will come back in a later tour and won’t require money. Battle mode is here now and so is multiplayer, Grand Prix mode and time trials. Reverse, trick and reverse trick variants of courses now exist and some remix courses. Many past game tracks have returned and some have higher resolution than mario kart 8 deluxe’s base game tracks (eg. Rainbow road 3ds) the new courses are amazing in both the music and the tracks. My personal favourites are Singapore speedway, Vancouver velocity, ninja hideaway, merry mountain, Berlin byways, Los Angeles laps, London loop, Bangkok rush, Sydney sprint, Amsterdam drift, Tokyo blur, New York minute, sky high sundae and Paris promenade. Not all new courses have even released yet. It is very easy to get everything in a tour and the only bad part is the controls which you get used to quickly if you play for two-three tours. Also, could you please add toad’s factory? I really miss that course from Wii. Thank you in advance.

It’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 game

Regarding 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.
