The Mario Kart Tour Team Rally is heating up, and people are actively hunting for more team tokens daily. It’s only a few days away until the Team Rally Tour ends. Team Peach has successfully maintained first place for several days since the event began and has taken the lead in the game. Now, Team Bowser is finally keeping up and has almost beaten Team Peach in just a few team tokens. If you are on Team Bowser, we have a few tips to help you get even more team tokens for your team before the final. As we promised you last week, we will keep this short. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s get through this quickly and race to claim victory for your team! Check the Current Team Points Once a Day​ Don’t get your hopes up by just looking at the total of team points. There are millions of drivers out there collecting Team Tokens just like you. Checking the team points before you start racing will give you an idea of how many team tokens you can collect in one day. Here are ideas for you to get going faster: It may be difficult for some drivers to achieve these goals. Don’t worry! Start a day with 300 team tokens and go from there. Another tip is to schedule a bit of your time, whether during your commute to work or school, at break and lunchtime, or even waiting in a long queue. Set your timer for 1-3 minutes minimum to race in Mario Kart Tour and increase the time bit by bit if you have more time available during the day. Having a small Mario Kart Tour break will help you get more Team Tokens by the end of the day. Remember to have fun and enjoy the race! Team Token Fever Time What’s not to love about getting double team tokens in a single race? If you see an icon with a team token in a bubble on the right side of the cup icons, click on it, and it will lead you to the cup that offers double team tokens. It’s the fastest way you can speed up and achieve your Team Token goal. If your team wins a race each round, you will get more team tokens. 500 team tokens per day will be just a blink of an eye!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Vs. Crash Team Racing

by

There’s only a handful of video game characters as identifiable and recognizable as Crash Bandicoot. Considering that Crash was the reply to Sonic the Hedgehog, and Mario, it’s always given immense competition to both games. However, since the creation of Nitro Kart and Mario Kart, players, critics and fans have always loved to debate which game is better and when Crash Team Racing came out to rival Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the debate was ignited once again. It’s one of our most favorite topics to discuss and we haven’t officially written about it on the blog yet, so we thought we’d put arguments for both games here and leave it up to you guys to give an ultimate verdict about which game takes the cake, once and for all. Objectively speaking, both have some great characters with Mario getting a little more popular in recent years thanks to a variety of games to its credit as well as the upcoming movie which is going to be full of Hollywood voice actors. It’s definitely going to open up the Mario franchise to many new fans and people who didn’t know of it before. Crash loses out on some of that airtime because its characters aren’t that popular apart from Crash itself. Both games are incredible, the tracks are amazing, the soundtrack is awesome and the controls and features are similar. However, many prefer the core gaming element of Crash as opposed to Mario Kart. On the other hand, many prefer Mario Kart and its online player mode as being miles ahead and much better than Crash’s version and its recent DLC has been said to prolong its life, whereas Crash Team Racing is starting to lose clout as it came out as a stand-alone game in 2019. So, where do you stand on this great debate? Which do you like better and why? We’d love to hear your opinions and finally put to bed one of the most talked about video game comparison in the history of both games.

Team Peach and Team Bowser Are on Fire!

Let the new era begin! Mario Kart Tour is getting better and better. That keeps us coming back to play multiple times a day, and we’re sure that you do too. Which team are you on? If, like some of us, you’re having trouble deciding, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Before You Start the Game​ Most of us jump right into the new Team Peach vs. Team Bowser Team Tour from day one, with or without knowing that we will have to choose the team before progressing further into the game. If you are someone who gets stuck on choosing a team, keep reading before you go back to Mario Kart Tour. We’ll keep it short, especially for you, because we know what’s best for our Mario Kart fans. No further ado, let’s dive right in! Team Peach or Team Bowser​ If you have no idea what a “team rally” is, it’s an event that you have to pick a team in the game to take part in. This time around, just before the Christmas holidays, Mario Kart Tour has a team rally for us to play as a team by collecting team tokens each round to lead your team to victory. The most important things that you have to keep in mind before selecting a team are: Easy Way to Lead Your Team to Victory​ Increase your team’s tokens easily with characters on Team Peach or Team Bowser. Select the right one that’s on your team to earn more team tokens during the race. This is how to collect more team tokens and show your support for the team. The more you play with the drivers that belong to the team, the more team tokens your team will get. Another way is to get a higher score each round to get even more team tokens. All Team Tokens Count!​ Every team token you and other drivers have collected counts as one team point, so keep racing to lead your team to victory in the Team Rally and get cool rewards. The winner will receive a gold badge, 15 rubies, and 3,000 coins in Mario Kart Tour. What if your team came in second? Good news: you still get 10 rubies, 1,500 coins, and a silver badge to showcase. It’s a win-win for all of us. Happy racing, our beloved Mario Kart fan, until next week. We have got to go collecting team tokens!

The new tour has already started, and the Mario Kart Tour team did such an amazing job on the Animal Tour! We’re so thrilled at seeing the course icons and what we could possibly guess by just looking at them for the very first time. We know instantly that this tour is going to be so much fun to race. The Animal Tour video trailer got us so excited, and it gets even better. New Awesome Rewards and Challenge​ Mario Kart Tour surprises are top-notch, and using a brand new Mii suit in a cute cow known as the Moo Moo Mii racing suit lets you use a mushroom cannon. What a perfect Mii suit during this tour season, especially during crashing fever time, and we also got a Shy Guy character in light blue. You will have so much fun throwing ice balls while racing and driving past frozen opponents on the way to the finish line. If you like to play in multiplayer mode, this new challenge is for you! Stay in first place for three streaks to unlock cool rewards from Karts Pro Challenges. Better get them all while the challenge is still available. Hurry up, let’s press “OK!” and drive!

Major Website Changes & Next Event Information

by

I wanted to do a quick update for everyone on the changes that will be coming to the website. Over the next few weeks and months, we will be switching over to a forum and away from the current style that we have now. We are doing this because we want more of a community style for this website. We will still be providing news and information on the main page. This will take quite a bit of time to transition, but you will be informed once it is completed. The second thing I want to mention is that the big event we had planned this fall has been cancelled due to time constraints. The next event will be in January, after the holidays are over. It will also be announced at the end of next month. For our remaining Mario Kart time trial guides, we are still working on them, and we recently finished a playthrough of the Mario Kart Double Dash Staff Ghosts. You can check out that video on our YouTube.
