Summary – Mario Kart: Super Circuit

June 3, 2025February 11, 2023 by Vision X

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the third console game to be released, and it includes some new modes that combine single and multiplayer play. Grand Prix is the main mode, and it contains a total of four cups that you’ll be able to challenge and compete in. The game, overall, is very simple, and it follows the original design elements from previous Mario Kart games, making it familiar to most users. On the other hand, the single-player mode is nothing innovative. However, if you play it with a friend, you’ll love the 2-player mode in Double Dash. This time, you’ll be able to choose from a total of 20 characters. Double Dash also gives characters specific power-ups to make sure that each character is unique.

Summary – Mario Kart 7

June 2, 2025February 11, 2023 by Vision X

For the most part, Mario Kart 7 is similar to the other games, and by taking part in the Grand Prix tournament, you’ll be competing for eight different cups. There are also new courses introduced in Mario Kart 7. These courses are quite well-designed, with beautiful maps that will immerse you in the game’s awesome background music. In Mario Kart 7, you’re also introduced to gliders and some underwater action, which is just amazing. A few new items are also introduced in MK7, like the Fire Flower which lets you spit fire to slow your enemies down. These new items provide a unique gameplay experience because people were getting used to the same old items in the game.

Mario Kart Tour Controller Guide

June 2, 2025February 11, 2023 by Vision X

Did you ever want to use a controller with Mario Kart Tour or any other mobile game? Below, you will find steps on how to play Mario Kart Tour with a wireless controller on your device. Note: This guide is for Android devices and is untested on iOS. 1. Download Mantis Gamepad Pro (free) or Panda Gamepad Pro ($3.99). 2. For the purpose of this guide, go to your phone settings and go to “About Phone” (this may vary depending on which version of Android you are using and your device). After finding your device’s settings, go to “Build number” and tap it several times until developer options are unlocked. Open the menu and enable USB debugging. This step is required for both Mantis and Panda. 3. If you are using Mantis Gamepad Pro, go to “Tap to start MantisBuddy” and the next screen will show various ways to activate Mantis; go to “on device.” If you are using Panda Gamepad Pro, then on the main menu, go to “need activation” and connect your device to your PC. Use “charge only” once it is connected. Download the activator on your PC, as the instructions on your device ask you to do. 4. For Mantis users, you need to tap “Connect,” and a “Pairing Tool” prompt will pop up. After this, go back into the developer settings and turn on “Wireless Debugging.” Another prompt will pop up, so tap “Allow.”. For Panda GamePad Pro users, unzip the files for the activator and open “Activate.exe.” Wait for the command prompt to run the activator and select “Allow” USB debugging if a prompt pops up on your device. Once finished, the activation should be complete. 5. The next step for Mantis users is to bring up Mantis Gamepad Pro and the Wireless Debugging settings in split-screen view on their device. Go to “Pair device with pairing code” in the Wireless Debugging settings. Type in the pairing code and port number in the pairing tool. After it is paired, activation will be finished 6. Mantis and Panda Gamepad Pro users can now pair their device with a controller using the Bluetooth settings (I personally recommend 8bitdo controllers) and add Mario Kart Tour (or other games) to their list of games and start playing. You can set your controls in the game. Notes: For people using Mantis Gamepad Pro, there is a paid version that allows you to unlock more control options. For Panda Gamepad Pro users, you may have to reactivate it every time you connect a controller. If you are using Android 12, then you might have to run the following code in the command prompt while your device is connected in order to make the app run properly: adb shell am compat disable BLOCK_UNTRUSTED_TOUCHES com.example.appadb shell settings put global block_untrusted_touches 0
