Start the Doctor Tour with a new user forum style that you will fall in love with. We hope you like it as much as we do. So, in this Doctor Tour, we’ll get a chance to dress up and use characters from the Mario universe dressed as doctors. How cool is that? This exciting new tour is sure to bring a new level of fun and excitement to all Mario Kart fans. Let’s see what the Doctor Tour has to offer! Cool Doctor is On Duty Playing the Doctor Tour without a doctor outfit would be weird. Plus, these doctor characters are hard to miss. The beloved brothers are now dressed up as doctors. Dr. Mario, with his best work and colorful medicine capsules in his hand, stood alongside Dr. Luigi with an extra stethoscope, getting ready to help out his brother. Mario and Luigi together, wearing the very same outfit, are ready for the race! Matching Reward Theme in the Ranked Cups Have you seen the new rewards in the ranked cups? When we saw the shy white guy, we couldn’t believe it. It even goes with the Doctor Tour theme. It’s perfect! Not only that, but we also get Rabbit Parachute to pair with a White Shy Guy.This is the best combo ever for this tour. Make sure to be in the top rank during the ranked cups event to get all of these cool matching rewards. Must Have Mii Racing Suit for This Tour Season​ OMG! In addition to the doctor theme, we received the Para-Biddybud Mii Racing Suit. It’s so stunning in bright red and yellow that we can’t take our eyes off it. And look at the little white wings on the helmet. Awww, we completely fell in love with it the very first time we saw the suit. If you’re collecting Mii Racing Suits, don’t miss out on this one. You also get the Double Bob-ombs special skill, which lets you use two of them that can hurl at once.

Haven’t we all wished we could just be in the world of Mario Kart? From the breathtaking colors of Rainbow Road to the frightening landscape of Grumble Volcano, every world the game creates is a whimsical and magical journey for the senses. If you’re like me and have dreamed of being a part of that world, then your dream is about to come true because Universal Studios Hollywood is all set to open the doors to its Super Nintendo World extension on February 17th, 2023! This new zone is based on the iconic Mario video game and brand. Plus, its biggest and primary attraction is The Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge ride, which uses cutting-edge technology to provide an exciting and immersive experience. Thanks to augmented reality, visitors may toss virtual shells at other racers, avoid obstacles, and race through the Mushroom Kingdom alongside Mario and other legendary characters. It also has amazing animatronics and special effects that bring Mario Kart’s environment to life; like, virtual items can even be felt by visitors via their chairs. In addition to the Mario Kart ride, other attractions at Super Nintendo World include Bowser’s Castle, Toad’s Café, and Peach’s Castle. The region is intended to resemble a real-life video game, replete with brilliant colors, strong graphics, and interactive aspects. The park promises to be a thrilling and immersive experience for Mario Kart enthusiasts and everyone who enjoys these beloved video games.

Top 3 Favorites of the Exploration Tour

explorerpeach3

​In this Exploration Tour, Mario Kart Tour players get a chance to become explorers, racing through mystery places from under the water to above the ground. We selected our top 3 courses that we love to explore during the tour to share with you. Let’s find out what those courses are! Surely, you will love them as much as we do. ​ Piranha Plant Cove​ Piranha! That sounds scary, yet exciting. It turned out we couldn’t judge the course by its title. We looked for piranhas in the water but couldn’t find any. Even though there’s no one piping in and out, we, as players, will technically feel like we’re piranhas ourselves. Piranha Plant Cove lies under the sea. We start the race under the water to drive all the way into ancient and mysterious areas. The scenes and items around the course reminded us of a treasure hunt in one of the Mummies movies; instead, we set it under the sea with some ancient traps in the Mario style. Piranha Plant Slide​ A water theme park meets caves and tunnels and Mario themes. Piranha Plant Slide is the course we are most excited about. Begin your journey with a giant slider, just like at a colorful water theme park. It leads you straight into a dark cave under the water. In this part, you will experience racing through an abyss-like dungeon filled with water areas and tons of turns at every corner. We thought that was all of it until the road led us to another slider into a tunnel, just like in a sci-fi movie. You will have a blast racing in there and then jumping out into a whole new world. Before you know it, you’ve landed in a theme similar to one you’ve seen your entire life: the Mario World theme. This course will definitely be one of your favorites on this Exploration Tour. Rock Rock Mountain​ Now it is time to get out of the water and up in the sky. Well, we’re not technically flying, of course. This time we will explore the jungle, a cave, and a mountain that stands high in the sky. Begin your ride by riding around the rim of a mountain. If you are afraid of heights, this might give you butterflies in your stomach during this section since there are a lot of extremely high and low areas in this course to complete the exotic exploration.
