I loved this game until I had an issue an issue and my gold pass stopped working. I had an ongoing case with Nintendo, but today they tried to make things right by in the app itself by "gifting" me the items I've missed out on, plus a few additional items. Five stars once my gold pass officially works again!
January 23, 2020

So far so good for what it is... Better than Dr. mario World.... I only started today, so we will see if there is a pay wall at some point... Update: it gets even more fun when you get the hang of it and collect even a few karts and gliders... If this event goes well, definitely giving 5 stars Update: still good! I can't imagine playing without the gold pass tho. Thats where most the rubies come from . Still fair and worth it.
January 23, 2020

Game is really fun and I don't mind waiting for a new cup, however I had 6 days left on my gold pass yesterday and today it said my gold pass expired. I should have 5 days left on my gold pass. I do wish Mario Kart tour was more like Mario Kart for the Nintendo switch where you only have build points up to unlock items and not pay for them.
January 23, 2020

Down from 5 to 2 stars What was a great game ruined by the constant league changing. Tonight I went from 1st, to 17th to 12th on the weekly rankings in 1 hour. I hadn't touched the weekly challenge. You are constantly swapped and realigned and quite frankly it is ridiculous. Why bother challenging when you just get swapped out. Cancelled my subscription, sort out your policy and rankings Nintendo and I might come back
January 23, 2020

Fun at first but there are too many exclusive offers and will hit tons of roadblocks if playing for free during the tours. Challenges vary from easy to tough to get depending on whether it's in usage of items or leveling up your carts, gliders, characters or your own tier, etc. It's hard to gain rubies in order to use the tube/coin rush without spending a ridiculous amount of money for a certain amount. Big money spenders will have a crazy unfair advantage over even just gold pass members.
January 22, 2020

This game is a joke. You can't possibly move up now with all the paid content and to make things worse you are not playing against real players so all your hard work is being limited behind the greedy paywall. It was fun at first but thats how they hook you. I went as high as tier 29 and now I cant even do enough for one rank increase, no they punish you for not paying and decrease your rank tier. Currently tier 25 and with latest high scores I will be 24 soon. Dont fall for the bs and skip this
January 22, 2020

I want to love this, but constant crashing is making me consider uninstalling. I love this game and how the courses change often 3enough so that it stays engaging, but I've lost so many rubies and scores from constant crashing due to server load. Nintendo needs to fix this already, as they're no stranger to this issue (it happens with animal crossing pocket camp, but at least it saves a backup so you don't lose anything). I've been waiting to leave a review in hopes that they fix it, but alas.
January 22, 2020

It is a really fun game and I've really enjoyed playing it. But it's impossible to move up in rank without spending $40 on special characters every week. That just seems highly unreasonable. I've been paying for gold membership and that would be very worth while if it weren't for the extra pay to win aspect.
January 22, 2020

1.21.20- I bought the gold pass. Still multiplayer doesn't work it says it does but to never worked now the new test is in out and it still does not work. When the multiplayer feature works again I'll give at least 1 star. Maybe. 2019:So far it's fun. I'm here for multi player and it isn't here yet so...
January 22, 2020

The game developers need to tone down the money grabbing strategies. Most achievements are practically behind a paywall, even for players who purchase the Gold Pass. The multi-player mode is not available yet, and during the test it felt like a joke, with all gamers playing with the exact same combo of driver, cart, and glider.
January 22, 2020

I was obsessed with this game, I've had it since early access. I play it everday. But I CANT BEAT PEOPLE IN THE TOURNAMENT THAT PAY. so, I suggest a tournament for the people that pay money, and a tournament for the people that dont. It's not fun to play over and over and as good as you can, but still go down tiers every time. Theres no way to win tournaments over tier 20, unless you pay. Besides that, I would have given 5 stars.
January 22, 2020

It was great. But now its honestly a pay to win game. Such a joke. The rewards are not worth logging in for anymore, the value for paid items is ridiculous and the gold pass is mediocre at best. Wasting $5 a month isnt worth it for this game. If you want to drop money into a game to reap BASIC rewards, then download this game. Nintendo, sort it out so we can ALL enjoy the game again.
January 22, 2020

When I heard an all time childhood classic of mine was coming to mobile, I knew life truly wouldnt be the same again. It is even more than what I expected. Although I wish we can have a horizontal option, nonetheless the game is still very much fun! And the controls are kinda hard to grasp at 1st but with enough practice it can be mastered for you to fully enjoy the game. Overall this game is a blast and whenever I win I feel like a kid again!
January 22, 2020

Liking it less and less. The races seem to be getting absurdly difficult to win, which is incredibly frustrating when your entire score depends on your placement. The computer characters dont get staggered when I can SEE them getting hit with my shells, meanwhile I'm getting hit from all angles and I can never even tell from what half the time, I'm just suddenly spinning out without warning. And if you don't have a frenzy character, dont expect to place in ranked mode. Everything depends on luck
January 22, 2020

I just love this game. Nintendo has the craziest mind to put Mario kart on hand held! But here is two picky things though 1.) it shows Luigi on the loading screen but there is no Luigi (might change in the future.) And 2.) There is no multiplayer. This game would get so much more popular with multiplayer included in this game. Please Nintendo add this in the future!
January 22, 2020

Huge Nintendo/Mario Fan here... I love that I have found a mariokart game on the app store and pretty addicted to it. Ive even signed up for the gold membership due to not being able to do things without paying for a subscription. My downfalls are that I have to uninstall and reinstall frequently due to the app not working. Im also not a huge fan on having to wait 24hrs before unlocking the next level. Other than that, I love this game. It definitely keeps me entertained!
January 22, 2020

Game is starting to become a money grab. I pay for a monthly gold pass subscription and dont get enough chances to unlock new drivers and carts. Gona cancel the subscription. The prices for rubies, karts, characters is ridiculous. I dropped from tier 23 to 21 because i dont have any character, karts, or gliders that are required. Green pipe gives you nothing. Paying $77 a year for nothing. Racing woth bots, i had 3 direct hits on a opponents cart on a red shell frenzy and all three did nothing
January 21, 2020

They may as well pull the free version from the store and just charge you $100 from the get go. As you don't stand a chance of being competitive without spending that level of money. The races themselves can be quite fun but if you want to progress through the game you have to part with your cash inevitably. $40 for a single character is a joke.
January 21, 2020

Was great at first and decided to support the game by paying the monthly subscription. Game has become too greedy now and only chance to progress is by paying £40 (on top of the subscription) for virtual characters every time a new tour comes out. Subscription getting cancelled now and hope the developers are listening as I can see many others expressing similar opinions. Such a shame, a great game overshadowed by greed!
January 21, 2020

Really enjoyed this when it came out but there's no way to compete with those who are willing to pay for the perks. I go into every series now knowing I'll drop down another level and never have a fair shot because I won't spend money. In the end, just another racing game that brings back some fond memories. Just not enough to spend money needlessly.
January 21, 2020

This game was fun until I reached level 40 and now every time I race, I get the 1st place shell. Every. Single. Time. Which pretty much makes the game unplayable and unenjoyable. I probably will cancel my gold ticket subscription at the end of the month because what's the point in playing to be plowed by the 1st place shell every single time?
January 21, 2020

It's a great game and all, but has gone too far in the pay2win segment for it to be enjoyable. Requiring a $50 purchase for the only character available for a select course bonus (and we're unable to get elsewhere) is outrageous, and exactly it is the ranked course. Basically, any good units are behind paywalls now, while the older paid content is actually worse than current free content because of how rotation works. Tragic.
January 21, 2020

While it is a lot of fun, I'm already paying for the Gold Pass and spending a LOT of time to stay top ranked in each tour. Now I can't even rank better than 14th or 16th place, without purchasing the $49.99 packages or however much it is. NOPE! This is sad, because it really is a fun game and had a healthy amount of challenge to it! :-( Time to cancel gold pass and focus my time elsewhere....
January 21, 2020

The game was really fun to begin with, and was so for awhile. Then things changed and you could tell that by tier 30, to continue to move up in tiers or to even remain on the same tier, they expected you to spend money and buy packages. No thank you. A couple bucks here and there, maybe, but not $40 for a package to be able to keep up with things. Greedy Nintendo. Not cool. Just lost someone. Peace.
January 21, 2020

So this game is absolutely amazing except for one minor detail, and that is, this games star system. To make sure a player has all 5 stars by doing what exactly? I've never made it past 4 stars, and some courses are as flat as boards and I can't do any tricks. The coins are so hard to get cause the turning system in my phone is iffy at best. At least a star for landing first place or something. It just seems so pay to win.
January 21, 2020

Detailed review. In this game you collect gold coins during races to buy drivers, karts and gliders. This only works for the first few easy stages and the game is fun to that point. As you progress, you are expected to buy a gold pass for £4.99 a month. That gets you drivers, karts and gliders for races . Then there is tier ranking races( weekly competition to win gold coins and rubies). To simplify , dont bother playing unless you wanna spend money for it and this isnt that good of a game.
January 21, 2020

Just charge for the game to begin with. Mario Kart has always been one of my favorite games, but this is a whole different experience. The game drives the player to pay to even do remotely well in ranked cups. I would rather pay a flat rate of like 50.00 to buy the game and race other players in real time than to constantly pay for gems to get high tier items in the ranked cups. Nintendo needs to stop being so money hungry.
January 21, 2020

This is an edit from a previous review. The game is pretty fun, it has a "gotcha" method to it. Still, it's the next best thing to play in Mario Kart on either the Wii or the Switch. Hard to get some of the gold characters or items without a membership. But it is definitely a game you can spend some time on when you're not busy.
January 21, 2020

One of the most solid games on the mobile play store. No ads, pretty fun. Maybe unbalanced in a sense that some courses are best experience with 1 or 4 specific characters, karts & gliders (this needs to be disabled in multiplayer). Once you finish most of the courses there's not much to do other than kindoff grind coins (there's a cap). Too bad 200c is locked behind a paywall. Overall I'm enjoying what i see. WE NEED LUIGI IN THE GAME. Edit: it has Luigi now! It's best game ever!
January 21, 2020

This is unfortunately one of Nintendo's most mediocre mobile games, or games at all. While it has potential and is a fun time killer, the monetization is way too aggressive and it hinders the experience if all you want to do is play normally, without spending anything. The Gold Pass and the so called "offers" are a stupid practice we really shouldn't be supporting. If it wasn't for the tracks and visuals I'd call it quits to this game, but even then, I'm very close to doing so.
January 21, 2020

This game was great at launch. However it has gone downhill fast with how p2w it is now. I had a gold pass sub bc I understand developers need to make money. But I dont see any reason to throw away my money when the game wants you to spend $40+ a week to have any hope in ranked tours against players in higher tiers than you.
January 21, 2020

Mario Kart Tour is an alright mobile game. The graphics are very good, and the controls are alright. I think the worst thing about this game are the obsurb microtransactions. I understand this game needs to make money, but these practices are just awful. Aside from that, this is just fine.
January 21, 2020

Nintendo's greed will end up costing them. They had a game that many were willing to pay the £5 per month gold pass and by making it too difficult to do well without spending around at least £50 a month (even then not guaranteed) they are pushing players away in their droves. Just look at the recent reviews. Also the AI when I race on 150cc is just stupid. Either too easy to win or absolutely impossible. Game seems to hate on decent players by not giving them good items, even when behind.
January 21, 2020

A good mobile version of Mario kart which is unfortunately full of microtransactions that allow players to pay to win. If you don't buy the gold pass you miss out on a lot of content and are guaranteed to do poorly in the ranked tournaments. Nintendo needs to the balance this game more fairly for those people who don't want to spend money like myself
January 21, 2020

I don't normally review mobile games, but I grew up with MK and this app breaks my heart. It's a typical pay 2 win game skinned with MK graphics. Gems, coins, stars, upgrade tickets, loot boxes, timed cups, paywalls... It has bled dry the heart the console counterparts had. This isn't a Mario Kart game, it's an abject lesson in predatory "freemium" app monetization. Give Mario Kart its soul back Nintendo.
January 21, 2020

Could have been amazing, until the first race where you can only complete with a new character for 40 dollars. They add a new costume for an existing player every two weeks. Collect four versions of peach and Mario? Why? What happens in two years when there are 50 versions of each character? Short sighted.
January 21, 2020

I enjoyed playing the game, but after a update the game crashes and I have to clear cache and reload game, just can't be bothered with that, find another fun cart game that doesn't keep crashing or need updating every week. Its a shame has I was actually enjoying it, but there must be other enjoyable Cart racing games with less hassle or bother.
January 21, 2020

///Controls are a little wonky and need fixing but overalll love the game ! Wish there were more racers ////( edit) I used to really enjoy the game but the Karts and subscription price are crazy , even for a mobile game, if this was closer to the console port but with better controls and rid of the pay walls for racers then I'd see how some of the prices are justified , but $50 for a pixelated kart or driver and the off chance of actually getting ANYTHING good with your 'Gems' is ridiculous.
January 20, 2020

Pay to win game. I subscribed to this game at the start knowing if I wanted extra benefits, I would have to pay. However, I'm on the same level as free to play players. The gift boxes and gold challenges are not worth 4.99 a month when you still dont get the characters you need from the pipe to get ahead. The chances of getting a high end have dropped dramatically from the start. You can only get ahead if you fork out £40 for a package deal. No thank you. Thanks for ruining mario kart!
January 20, 2020

Okay now that I've played for a while (I'm level 19) I can say a bit more about this game. Graphics are great. gameplay is okay but the controls are kind of garbage. You'll tell it to turn one way and it will randomly slam you into a wall. Definitely a cash grab. You wanna be at the top? You need the right driver, cart and glider for each level. Oh and upgrade them. You need gems and even then it's a gamble if you get what you want. Don't have em? Too bad.
