The Yoshi Tour Makes the Perfect Easter

by

When it comes to Easter, we always think of Yoshi. A lovely dinosaur and cute polka-dot eggs. And this time, the Yoshi Tour started during Easter. We bet the Easter hunt on Mario Kart Tour was so much fun. Let’s find out what we mean by that and explore the fun stuff the Yoshi Tour has to offer. Let’s Talk About Spring Eggs We usually see giant eggs decorated along the roads. Since the Yoshi Tour was hosted during Easter, we finally started racing to collect big spring eggs with different designs on each one of them. Hit it, and you will get the event tokens as a reward, Mario Kart Tour style. We even spot bunny patterns on spring eggs. Not One, But Two Yoshi Sets A big wow to this one! Besides the regular set we will get from completing the tour, each half of the tour offers two different sets of Yoshi. In the first half, we will get a light-blue Yoshi with a matching turbo, and a gold Yoshi (with a gold eggshell glider) in the second half. Make sure you place high in the Yoshi Tour Ranking each round to collect all of these adorable Yoshi sets if you haven’t already. Black & White Yoshi is Waiting in the Spring Challenges​ Collecting two Yoshi isn’t enough. Why not get four? Well, it’s the Yoshi Tour, and why stop at two when we can get all four? We challenge our Mario Kart fans to get four Yoshis in the Yoshi Tour and share with us by the end of the tour how many Yoshi they got. Let’s take a look at what we need to complete. Spring Challenges 1 — Black Yoshi as a reward Spring Challenges 2 — White Yoshi as a reward

Extremely Fun! Ninjas Take Over Mario Kart

How are our beloved Mario Kart fans doing on the Ninja Tour? We were blown away with the number of courses Mario Kart Tour has to offer during the event. We didn’t expect that many courses! I love the variety we can choose from, and it makes the whole ninja look just like they’re taking the entire world. Without further ado, here are our top courses you will love and want to race till you drop. Ninja Hideaway Courses​ It’s the very first course on the cups you will see. We know these courses will be fun just by looking at the course image. It’s a classic Japanese ninja style with a stunning view of an old castle or mansion. What we didn’t expect was the fact that it’s extremely fun. Of course, we have no clue how it’s going to make us smile and laugh. If you haven’t tried any of the Ninja Hideaway courses, go racing now! Shy Guy Bazaar Courses​ Shy Guy and the classic Aladdin style look amazing and perfect. We still can’t get enough of seeing Shy Guy riding flying carpets whenever we jump off the road. It really is satisfying. Try it for yourself if you haven’t already. And there are loads of excited small roads to make your races even better if you can. Wario Shipyard Courses​ Now let’s jump into a Wario ship and find some coins! It’s a good combination racing in the ship and then underwater. Especially the corners inside the ship that we can’t seem to get enough of. It feels like we’re the ninjas on duty in mysterious places. Rainbow Road Courses​ Holy Moly! This is extreme! The Rainbow Roads take us out into space. The world seems small, so let’s hope on to the shiny universe. If you are a sci-fi lover, Rainbow Road courses are your besties.

In the Mario Tour Part 2, we get three more 8-bit items to collect just before the tour ends. Some of you might already have guessed or known some of the items. Here are our childhood buddies Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES), who joins the gang and is ready to spin the others with Triple Bananas. Perfect matching with a yellow 8-bit pipe frame to scream even more banana kart-a-like, and topping with an 8-bit block gilder with Coin Plus as a special skill. These are awesome karts for our Donkey Kong, don’t you think? Classic Mario Kart Vibe All the Way​ Missing the old classic Mario Kart is now over!

Royal Raceway courses are some of our favorites to level up from Mario Circuit courses. In these courses, we love racing around the palace and seeing people cheering us.

Dr. Peach is in the House with Loads of Fun

The Doctor Tour Part 2 is almost over! We have a lot of fun dressing up as Dr. Mario and Dr. Luigi and exploring weird places in a doctor’s coat. We have a blast, and we’re sure our Mario Kart fans do too. It’s only a few days left to enjoy the Doctor Tour. Make sure to grab doctor outfits before the tour ends to complete your doctor collection. And now, let’s check out the cool stuff we have this week. Meeting the Famous Dr. Peach! You are probably like us. We were looking for other doctor outfits besides Dr. Mario and Dr. Luigi but found none. In Part 2, the wait is finally over as we get to see Dr. Peach in a pink coat, and she looks lovely as always. Dr. Peach is the only new character in a doctor outfit available. But that’s ok because the new glider, Pink Magniflying Glass, is just perfect for our Peach and has a cute frame. And, as you might expect, it’s pink. Don’t Miss Out on Loads of Fun in These Courses!​ What are your favorite courses on the Doctor Tour? Share yours with us in this thread and spread the fun to other Mario Kart players. Our top favorites are the Coconut Mall and Sky Garden courses. Coconut Mall courses are extremely fun! It’s one of our favorites for this tour. If you haven’t played Mario Kart on the Wii console, you definitely need to check it out. Racing throughout the mall and expanding the fun to the parking lot, it’s the same feeling as going to the mall, but instead we race till we’re dropped. Peach Gardens courses are almost on the list, but we enjoy playing our doctor-outfit characters in Sky Garden courses even more. The doctor is on duty in the Sky Garden, and seeing white and pink coats racing through the sky is just stunning and exciting. So, grab your phone, and let’s start racing to become the best doctor racer in Mario Kart Tour!
