Mario Kart Tour is in the middle of its Summertime Celebration, and has kicked off its Los Angeles Tour which will run until 27th/28th July. It doesn't offer an all-new track but rather 'a new route on Los Angeles Laps'; there's also a new kart and outfit to get after.
As you can see below there's the 'Pinch Hitter kart' which looks like the baseball hat table from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, albeit on wheels.
Mario can also get a helmet and a baseball uniform that's seemingly designed to be as non-committal as possible - the pinstripe design and colours don't quite match any current MLB uniform to avoid all those 'Mario is an X fan, booooo' comments. Well played, Nintendo.
Baseball loyalties aside, let us know if you're planning to jump into Mario Kart Tour over the next two weeks!

...You know, I would've probably given Mario Kart 8 another chance with the Switch version if they supported it with new stuff instead of this game. >.>
@Joeynator3000 Every time I see updates for this I wish it was on Switch. Imagine how fun it would be racing around the world in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe engine, playing with all those i interesting characters. 😢
I did download it on my phone but couldn't stand it, it was so boring and controlled badly.
@Clyde_Radcliffe,
The controls take a little getting used to, even more so if you do not play mobile games all that much, took a while but got the hang of it, my daughter on the other hand was awesome on her first go, just more used to mobile touch games I guess, kids today eh.
@johnvboy Yeah I'm not a phone gamer really apart from a phase around 10 years ago where I would play games like Crossy Road, Robot Unicorn Attack and Doodle Jump.
The only Nintendo game I've been able to get into was Pokemon Go.
@Clyde_Radcliffe,
Yes Pokemon go is very strange indeed, a guy at the bottom of our road claimed he had found Jigglypuff, in a bus shelter.
@johnvboy One time I found a Psyduck in my washing machine. 😂
I like this game so much more than 8 Deluxe, it’s very exciting and fun.
Although I double dipped on mk8D. I’ve played this game so much more and do so every week as it gets updated
@Clyde_Radcliffe,
Sounds painful...
Mobile games are slowly ruining things for traditional gamers, there would surely be more content for MK8 or even a MK9 release by now if not for this game.
is it gonna fill the sides of the track with homeless people just like in real life??
@johnvboy Did he see it from above?
I once found a shiny Growlithe in my bed at 2am. No joke.
On-topic: so Mario now plays for the New York Yankees?
Lol I don't associate baseball with Los Angeles, but yeah summer is a baseball time.
I haven't played this in awhile but might jump back in for this. While mostly pretty plain there's just something I really like about these "real world" tracks.
@HammerGalladeBro,
Worrying times, I tell you.
I'll ignore the toxic whiny comments and say that I FINALLY GOT TO LEVEL 46!
And got Baseball Mario on a free Pipe!
=D
@DK-Fan if you play a few times a week, it’s not that hard to get a few pipes free every month
