Because this tour is all about the Mario Day celebration. Just hop in for a ride to see what we got for our fans. Beloved Mario Circuit courses to bring back the fun memories, and here we’re rocking it in Mario Kart Tour. If you don’t have a copy of Mario Kart games on GameBoy, DS, Wii, 3DS, or 2DS, this is the perfect time to enjoy them. 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. It’s a nice upgrade from the Mario Circuit. We encourage you to try out all the RMX courses to add some extra flavor and get that classic Mario Kart vibe. It’s extremely 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!

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.
The Doctor has arrived for the return of the Doctor Tour! The Doctor Tour will begin on February 21st at 10 p.m. PT. It will feature Doctor Mario and the course DS Shroom Ridge from Mario Kart DS. You may check out the tweet in this post.
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.
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
Mario Kart Tour as a mobile game, decided to keep the races short and concise, which is definitely the right move. You’ll only find two laps instead of three on most tracks. However, a cup contains three full races, which is kind of short, however, the bonus race is definitely a step up, where you can usually use items that are locked for a limited timeframe. All in all, the actual gameplay of the Mario Kart tour is amazing. The controls feel great, the tracks are short, and the simplified one-handed mode will make you question your history of playing Mario Kart with two hands. It’s kind of fun for a mobile user. The game recently had an update that required users to have a 64-bit device to play the game. Some of the devices that users can use are the LG Stylo 5/6, Samsung Tab S6, S6 Lite, S7, S7+, S8, Amazon Fire HD10/Plus, and any recent Samsung, iPad, or other mobile devices. Mario Kart Tour Tips Don’t Worry About Falling off from a Track You don’t have to worry too much about falling off most tracks. Mario Kart Tour usually has an invisible wall that protects you from falling off. You can still fall off some of them, though. Play High CC races If you want to earn more points, the trick is simple: you need to participate in the highest CC race possible. In this case, you should choose the 150cc or 200cc races. Starting Boost or Rocket Start To get a starting boost, wait until the “2” when Lakitu does the countdown and hold the acceleration. After that, wait until it says “GO!” and release the touch screen. This will give you a starting boost.
