Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mario Kart Tour at 4.7 against Level Maker's 3.7. Mario Kart Tour also leads on ratings volume (1M vs 106) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). Level Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
