  • 8-Bit Pipe Frame kart and the 8-Bit Super Glider will be in the Spotlight Shop
  • Koopa (Freerunning) and Rainbow Pipe Buggy have been added
  • Clear limited-time challenges to nab Mario (Classic)

Nintendo has launched a new in-game event for Mario Kart Tour, letting players join in on The Mario Tour, where the course DS Mario Circuit is taking centre stage. In particular, Mario (King) will be gracing the Spotlight Shop along with the 8-Bit Pipe Frame kart and the 8-Bit Super Glider for the first half of the tour.

In the latest update for Mario Kart Tour, you can also look forward to welcoming the driver Koopa (Freerunning) with the Triple Green Shells Special Skill. As the skill name suggests, this surrounds your kart with three green shells which you can fire at once. On the other hand, you can score the Rainbow Pipe Buggy when you climb the charts in the ranked cup. The Special Skill Jump Boost Plus enhances your Jump Boost boost time as well as the points you earn whenever you execute the boost.
