First announced on January 31, 2018, Mario Kart Tour is the third game in the Mario Kart series, following Super Mario Run and Dr. Mario World.
The game officially launched for both iOS and Android devices on September 25, 2019.
The game’s courses depend on the tour, which changes every two weeks. Starting with Paris, each tour has eighteen cups and adds new drivers, karts, gliders, and courses. During certain tours, mainly ones themed around real-world locations, the game includes one course that is new to the series – in this case, Vancouver.
