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

    So yea, it's still not completely free to play friendly per say, but recently they have been giving Super rarity options some new tracks. And the silly gambling pipes are gone, now you can just buy want and leave it at that. Not liking the Mii meta though...

    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!

    Mario Kart Tour is - quite simply, Mario Kart dumbed down for a smartphone.

    Despite the simplicity and pay-to-win nature of the ranked cup, however, the constant changing of tracks still makes for a fun experience. With the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass, however, Tour is slowly becoming more and more irrelevant as time goes on, and the end draws near for it.

    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.

    This game is really disappointing. Feels more of a cash grab than an actual game sometimes. You're better of playing a Mario kart game from the mainline series than this.

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

It was really hard and rare to get rubies as well and there wasn't a battle mode.
    Fast forward to December 2022, and it has been improved massively. The lute pipes are gone (you can buy characters, karts and gliders from the shop with rubies, which are now easy to get, thankfully), the controls are better, there are tons of characters, tons of really great tracks and there's battle mode. There's also an online mode, but it sucks because it is laggy as hell and the rubber banding is ridiculous. Though why is it even legal for there to be a Mario game where your not even guaranteed to play as Mario himself from the start?!!!!! Nintendo have revived this game. It is good now and I recommend everyone tries it out.    … Expand

    This is probably the worst Mario game on Metacritic, but I've given other Mario games worse scores, so why? Well, I'm looking at them based on their gameplay, graphics and fun.

Well, I'm looking at them based on their gameplay, graphics and fun. So, first of all, let me start by saying Mario Kart Tour's controls are awful. They never feel fluid and require you put your finger on the screen so you can barely see anything and the kart usually goes a bit to the left and a bit to the right. The game also feels slow but although the controls suck, the tracks in this one are the highlight. Of course, some tracks are unfortunately locked behind the idiotic Gold Pass, which is where most of the fun is locked, but the tracks you play are either faithful recreation of the most brilliant tracks from other games, or one of the games new tracks, which are pretty solid versions of real world locations, yet some of them feel either stereotyped, a bit rushed or most commonly, 400,000,000,000 versions of the same track. Now that those things are out of the way, let us talk about the dark, gritty bits. Microtransactions. Most of these aren't apparent as soon as you play the game but after a while, you'll get bored of the game telling you to buy the Gold Pass if you want to play over half of it's content. Also, although I don't have that much of an issue with the loot boxes, they should make these MUCH more specific. Overall, if you want a good Mario Kart portable game, play either Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart: Super Circuit or of course Mario Kart DS.… Expand

    This game gets a bad rep. This is actually a pretty good game, especially for mobile. Just because the game has microtransactions doesnt mean that it practically requires you to spend money. I havent used a single penny on the game, and it is still really fun.

    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.

    This is a pretty good game. The tracks are pretty good, and they have improved over time, The only reason this is a eight is because of the microtransactions, plus the controls are weird. But it's a mobile game, so it's kind of forgivable. In conclusion, great game for mobile, would recommend.

    If I had to rate this game when it launched I'd probably give it a mediocre score years later though it improved on every single aspect. the game introduces many amazing concepts for the Mario kart series among with a bunch of new characters or karts, the gameplay has received a massive upgrade with each major update and the removal of the pipe made purchasing items sin

    Its a game that is getting better and better, the gacha is being eliminated, and the microtransactions are getting less invasive, but it NEEDS better controlls, ffs nintendo playing mario kart on any emulator is a better experience

    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.

    I honestly enjoyed this game. It holds the typical mario kart experience, with a cheaper cost, with a lower experience. But taking in the price, it isn't a bad game. There are many microtransactions, which dont bother the experience for me, and no whole incentive to purchase Overall, I had enjoyed this game in it's whole, with partial inconveniences

    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!

    I sincerely hope that investors see this as a wake-up call that's harmful to Nintendo's long-term reputation. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 26SW]

    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.
