Three, two, one, GO! And they’re off! In Mario Kart Tour, you’ll join exciting races with Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and other characters from Nintendo’s beloved series.
What we love: The game’s varied courses take you to diverse locations, including beaches, snow-covered mountains and bustling (real-world!) cities. And the charismatic cast has the outfits to match – you can unlock themed costumes as your world tour continues.
The controls are optimised for touchscreens too – slide your finger to the side to drift, and tap at the right time to use items.
Quick tip: Each course poses its own unique challenges, so pick drivers and karts with stats that are well suited to the track. And it’s not a Mario Kart game without all the fun items you can pick up as you race. Take aim and throw the shells to attack your opponents or slip them up with a well-placed banana peel.
Meet the creator: Legendary game developer Nintendo has brought several of its classic series over to the App Store in recent years – including Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes.
