Mario Kart Tour for iOS Gaining Multiplayer Mode on March 8

[MacRumors]

Nintendo today announced that it plans to add a multiplayer mode to Mario Kart Tour on March 8, allowing players to compete against up to seven other players.

According to Nintendo, gamers can play against their friends in game, people who are located nearby, or others around the world, with several multiplayer gameplay modes available.

Nintendo first introduced Mario Kart Tour for iPhone and iPad in September 2019. Gameplay is similar to other Mario Kart games on Nintendo consoles, allowing players to race a kart across the Mushroom Kingdom, beating their rivals to the finish line.

Mario Kart Tour is free to play, but there is an optional Gold Pass subscription that introduces various in-game items and badges, along with unlocking a faster 200cc mode. There are also in-app purchases for rubies and other items.

Nintendo has previously tested multiplayer mode with a closed beta test for subscribers in December and an open beta test in January, but now the feature is ready to officially launch.

controls are still very bad.

"Free to play", only if you don't mind to keep losing or have very good luck.
Totally money grab and pay to win. 😩

If it’s anything like Nintendo’s other online multiplayer modes.... it will be horrible.

I’d probably re-download and re-subscribe, if it wasn’t for the fact that the control scheme completely throws me off of my MK8D Nintendo Switch game.

I actually like the iOS controls, find it very fun and intuitive, but it’s radically different from the Nintendo Switch, and ultimately that is by far the better game and the one I’d like to excel in.

I can’t wait. Sounds fun. I’m Level 38 on Tier 34 right now and really would welcome a multi player against players who are in my tier.

I have absolutely zero experience with this game, but I’m floored that multiplayer was not already part of it. Isn’t that almost the biggest part of Mario Kart?

One of the best multiplayer Nintendo games that anyone from 5 to 105 can play. Can’t wait!

I am facing the same issue when playing both games one after the other.
They could really do some work to improve.

They should fix the UI of the menus cuz I don’t get them at all. For instance, how can I get more characters besides Toad or Peach? 😅

Now your money is the biggest part...

Nintendo really missed this one up. Their second least performing smartphone game, after Dr. Mario.
