Mario Kart Tour Celebrates All Things Mario With Its Latest Update

More Mario than you can Mario

by Ollie Reynolds Fri 3rd Mar 2023

Mario Kart Tour keep on trucking along and is bringing a brand new Tour on March 8th, 2023 to seemingly celebrate the upcoming MAR10 Day on March 10th.

Featuring DS Mario Circuit (which coincidentally, has also been confirmed for the Wave 4 DLC release on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe), you'll have to contend with Goombas and Piranha Plants as you race against your friends.

Also confirmed is Wave 27 of the Mii Racing Suits, this time introducing the Spike Mii Racing Suit. You can check this out in the trailer below.

Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass has been confirmed to launch on March 9th, 2023 and includes the aforementioned Mario Circuit track along with an additional seven courses.

Will you be checking out the new Mario Kart Tour on March 8th? Let us know with a comment below.

My brother has banned me from using Kong in SMK as he is unstoppable in match race once you get going! I love him!

We play first to 10 match race, first to 10 battle mode and a Grand Prix in our regular sessions. Using Toad and Koopa is quite fair and lots of fun.

This is my sole reason for paying for NSO so we can play online together (England me, Scotland him)- god bless the modern age!

Can everyone agree that while people hate mobile games thanks to their gacha mechanics and their system where the player needs to play every single day and is treated like a dog getting treats, Mario Kart Tour has the best roster in the whole Mario Kart series?

This is the first Mario Kart game to have Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Dixie Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. all in the same game as racers (And the only one to have Dixie), and maybe we could get Cranky and K. Rool in the future, while Mario Kart 8 is the best in the series, the roster is really lackluster, from the list above, we only have Donkey Kong.

@victordamazio they did a really good job with it. Too good of a job bc it seems to be at the expense of the console version….I wish MK8D got this kind of love and attention

@Bunkerneath Yep, love that they added SMK Mario and DK Jr.,
would be nice if they added more of if not all those characters!
@Patendo Being able to play new and classic games online together with friends and/or family is the best!
@victordamazio Undoubtedly and honestly, apart from the typical mobile game garbage mechanics Mario Kart Tour is quite an interesting twist on the classic Mario Kart formula (going for combos instead of just first place, character specific items back, track variants etc.) which is why I still play it!
@rockodoodle I wouldn't say that, on the contrary if Mario Kart Tour didn't exist we wouldn't have the Booster Course Pass and it's far from guaranteed we would already have a new game instead!
