    This game is so boring and stupid, play real Mariokart instead. It is also full of micro transactions.

    Mario Kart doesn't translate to mobile all too well. It's fine, but the experience is pretty soulless, and with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe right there, why would you play this?

    I hate this game, man! Getting more characters is paying much money! This is by far in my opinion the worst Mario app game, because gambling!

    It has many flaws, especially due to it being a mobile game, but I had my time playing it. Even if you are f2p, you can find satisfaction in unlocking new characters, you just need a bit of grind.

    this game was a rushed, half finished, cash grab of a game. This game didn't even have real multiplayer, and with a subscription service of over 6 dollars a month, it simply isn't worth it.

    No sane person would choose this over a legitimate console based Mario Kart game.

    Awful micro transaction infested game, that somehow receives more content and attention than an all time classic, Mario Kart 8.

    Loot boxes (which is gone now) and microtransactions? This is not the Nintendo I know and love.

    Can't say I was a fan. Played and found it too easy and quite boring. I really don't see the fuss about these games. Bright garbage for children.

    The only thing this game does right is the character selection. Sucks that it’s ruined by a loot box. The tracks are all bland and the game practically plays itself.

    Way to many micro transactions. And the Gacha is stupid since you can’t buy a character you want and have to get a character by luck.

    A pathetic attempt at a mobile version of Mario Kart, this game is the definition of cash grab and will try so hard to force money out of you it would make EA jealous. You genuinely are forced to pay upwards of £40 on characters, which turn lets you win automatically on one track.

I could go on and I may continue this review another time but this game is honestly disgusting with how desperate it is to force money out of it's target audience, which is primarily children. The gameplays is mind-numbing to add to that. The only good parts of this game are the visuals and music and even they are outclassed by the other games in the series. If you can enjoy this game I'm happy for you but I personally think this is gaming at it's worst.… Expand

    This game is complete and utter garbage. No Miis means no fun. The heck?! Pay?! Microtransactions?!?! No pausing in the middle of the race?! This game is awful. Sorry, Nintendo, you ain't getting my money for this game anytime soon. Won't recommend. Didn't play, but after watching the game on YouTube, ugh...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nintendo has had a few different attempts at making a mobile game but good grief this game is horrible. You don't even control accelerating. you just sort of turn..... That's it. And wow did Nintendo take a page out of EA's book. Microtransactions..... The games main currency is rubies? Why rubies? What about oh idk maybe THE CURRENCY THAT HAS BEEN RELEVANT IN MARIO SINCE 1985! COINS! Either way you must use rubies to unlock characters ,karts etc. But you pretty much have to buy rubies to have the smallest chance to get the character you desire. This is downright greedy. And to anyone reading this yes i downloaded the game and went ftp for months I had like 20ish characters. You pretty much have to hand Nintendo your wallet for a virtual card because you will never play with them all.… Expand

    If you were to play it VERY casually it’s fine but it’s just a waste of development from Nintendo as the games is lathered with absurd micro transactions costing sometimes $50 which is crazy for a mobile game just for some pointless characters, karts and gliders that do nothing.

    This is the definition of Great taste but Awful execution. It's a shame how ideas like special items returned, and the character roster is fantastic, but the agressive microtransactions, lootboxes and controls just ruin the expirience.

The premium currency are rubies, and at the beginning of the game you get 25 rubies and you need 5 to open a pipe, which is kind of like a chest I guess you could say, and after that you basically get none, to make it worse the rubies are very expensive! I guess a positive thing about the game is that they added online play but that always crashes and takes forever to find other players, overall I do not recommend this game .… Expand

    This could've been a very engaging, beautiful game that I would spend hours on end playing. But no. Stupid microtransactions make it a disappointment. It's not even pay to win! It's just pay to look cool. And hey, if you're really casual, this could be enjoyable.

    I've always loved Mario kart as a series. But this is really a disappointment. Sure the graphics look pretty good and all. But MAN, in-app purchases are everywhere in this game! I can't go into the menu for 2 seconds without the game constantly bribing me to buy the gold pass. And plus, Nintendo barely adds new content to this game.

    Mario Kart Tour makes a surprisingly fantastic mobile game because of the tons of items to collect, the fun gameplay loop, and the short but sweet matches!

    Mario Kart Tour is a good mobile racing game that could be even better with another monetization system. Thanks to its good gameplay and a remarkable technical section, this title stands out among other mobile games.
