Mario Kart Tour takes players on a global journey, racing through major cities like New York, Tokyo, Paris, and other famous landmarks worldwide. Players also encounter familiar characters and a variety of Kart vehicles that have been Nintendo's companions throughout its development.
The microtransaction system in Mario Kart Tour includes a gacha-like mechanism to unlock characters, Kart vehicles, and gliders, along with a monthly Gold Pass subscription priced at $4.99/£4.99, enabling players to unlock additional rewards in the game.
