Instead of my friends having to all go to our buddies house who does have a Switch but only 2 joycons (theres usually 6-7 of us) or better yet instead of all of us each saving up to buy an entire new Switch console (plus the game, plus the monthly online) so we can all individually play from home, this game right here gave us the perfect Mario Kart game experience on mobile. Although we don’t have Switches or extra Joycons laying around, we all have our phones. It was the perfect way to support Nintendo’s ip the right way without actually having to get nintendo hardware. Taking away this game from the players feels like a greedy way to save a penny on Nintendos behalf and this only makes me want to download Ryujinx Emulator and just download MK8 Deluxe from the internet and play like that on my PC and also encourage my friends to do the same. ### 5/5 — Mario *2026-08-11, version 4.0.0* Kelis ### 5/5 — Mario Kart Tour *2026-08-11, version 4.0.0* I love this game so much, Nintendo, PLEASE, please don’t take this game down from the app store! ### 5/5 — Magnificent *2026-08-11, version 4.0.0* As far as mobile games go, you’ll be hard pushed to find something as good as this. You can easily and fully play this game without having to pay for any extras, a rarity in present day. The game is very playable and fun, and not too dissimilar to the main console versions, although there are differences in gameplay as you would expect. Download this game. ### 5/5 — WHY IS ARE YOU DOING THIS?!😭😭😭 *2026-08-11, version 4.0.0* Nintendo why are you doing this I only played this game since last year pls don’t shut it down because this is my favorite Nintendo mobile game if this shuts down… I don’t know what I will download.. Nintendo everyone is asking you to not shut this down so pls ### 3/5 — Weird *2026-08-10, version 4.0.0* The game is fine but Apple gets mixed up with the game age rating it says the average age is higher than mine and then it says my age rating is 4+ and it’s 4+ too but in App Store it says 9+ and I already have the app ### 5/5 — THIS GAME WAS THE BEST *2026-08-10, version 4.0.0* I loved playing this game with the different types of costumes and they made up new karts for the game and I wish this game was not going out of service and Nintendo pls male a offline one of make apple arcade make a remastered version of this game it was like Hot wheels race off peak game but went away and apple arcade made a remastered version so plzzzz don't get rid of this game ### 5/5 — Best game EVER *2026-08-10, version 4.0.0* Got 99 coins! This is a VERY GOOD game! I would like to see a MarioKart Stadium from MarioKart 8 and MarioKart 8 deluxe! Also, I would like to see Super Mario Odyssey Mario, and Super Mario 64 Mario! Also, if you do add Mario Odyssey Mario, pls make it to where if you double click the screen then you can throw Cappy and that it can stun opponents! Also, 4.0.0 and the game itself is very glitchy on startup. Can you fix that? ### 5/5 — I love this game. *2026-08-09, version 4.0.0* I love this game. There's so much to do this game is awesome Thank you whoever the developers are💕💕. ### 3/5 — Why did this just happen 😱🤯😡 *2026-08-09, version 4.0.0* This game used to be fun but I played just now and it keeps on crashing and saying “ “An error occurred” like bro! I have full wifi and I checked and the app didn’t need to be updated so please 🙏 fix this glitch 😡🤬😡🤬 ### 5/5 — Don’t shut it down! *2026-08-08, version 4.0.0* This game has been a part of my daily routine since 2020. Whether I’m winding down after a long day, settling in before bed, or burning some free time, Mario Kart is my go-to. Aside from the obvious reasons to play (collecting characters, cars, and gliders; earning stars on races; unlocking higher levels and winnings; and the excitement of new cups and events), this game has played a huge role in helping manage my anxiety over the years. It has become an indispensable part of my comfort routine and quieting my brain when my anxiety is getting bad or during panic attacks. I can’t explain it, but something about it forces my brain to check out of its concerns and into the racing. I love it. I can’t imagine not having this game. I’m heartbroken the creators are killing it. It’s fantastic to play, of course, but it’s also been a huge part of my daily life and mental health. I hope you guys change your minds or make a wifi free version for those of us who have been faithfully playing for years. ### 5/5 — GUD GIY *2026-08-08, version 4.0.0* I help mario with his kart when its broken! ### 5/5 — game is fun actually *2026-08-08, version 4.0.0* sad it gone sone ### 4/5 — hello Nintendo, can we talk about this for one second? *2026-08-07, version 4.0.0* So this game is so good I can't stop playing it but one thing that's wrong is that is it when you make a mii it sounds like all of them, but I still like this game even though I keep getting lost what is in first place I give you five stars we love you Nintendo, making more games we love you💌📥 ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-07, version 4.0.0* It is very fun. if you dont have a nitendo switch you can just play mario kart on here!!!!!

Pls Nintendo stop shutting down games I played everyday for the past 5 years now doing this why Nintendo why! ### 1/5 — Frequent Reboots *2026-08-07, version 4.0.0* If you switch to another app to answer a text message and then come back, mario kart reboots and you have to wait forever for the entire app to reload and it kicks you back to the main menu, from whatever race you were in the middle of. Very stupid that the app can’t hold onto its memory state for more than 5 seconds. ### 1/5 — Terrible company *2026-08-06, version 4.0.0* After playing since the day one launch of the game we will have nothing to show after the shutdown. All the money people spent on characters at the start and throughout the lifespan of the game, wasted! See if I spend another penny on your apps! ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-04, version 4.0.0* I was trying to put in my Nintendo account and it didn’t work. ### 1/5 — Game is cooked *2026-08-02, version 4.0.0* Rest in peace mario kart tour you were kinda mid but the tracks were still fun :( ### 1/5 — Why are you ending this game *2026-07-31, version 4.0.0* NINTENDO stop killing games!!! This is why me and so many others hate mobile games because they just end their services years later. Idk why you’re ending this game meanwhile the Mario run game has not ended and barely anyone plays. Animal crossing got an offline version but you’re not going to do the same for Mario kart? It’s a shame because there’s so many people who genuinely loved this game but it’s suddenly coming to an end. I will be staying away from your other games from now on🫡 ### 1/5 — Need account *2026-07-30, version 4.0.0* Annoying that I’d have to create a Nintendo account to play. ### 1/5 — This is why I’m giving a one star review *2026-07-29, version 4.0.0* First of all, why are you shutting down The game players are snapping, angry, frustrated disappointed it’s like they finally have enough of you shutting down their good games honestly there’s a chance you might get a lawsuit for dislike shut down MARIO RUN instead of this game second of all will be no off-line version come on on Nintendo fix this. Everyone doesn’t want you to do this you’re giving an off-line version to animal crossing and give it to Mario kart tour. give Mario Kart to an online version or else everyone’s gonna protest Nintendo Or give a lawsuit ### 1/5 — Why end the game!? *2026-07-26, version 4.0.0* I’m so upset this game will be ending in September. Me and my sister really got into this game and loved it so much. So so sad Nintendo decided it wasn’t worth keeping anymore. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — … *2026-08-18, version 4.0.0* It is so awesome ### 5/5 — Don’t deleteeeee *2026-08-18, version 4.0.0* This game has been the so fun for years me and my sister play this game all the time together please don’t delete!! ### 5/5 — Mario Kart Tour *2026-08-17, version 4.0.0* Mario Kart Tour is really fun!
