The long-running Mario Kart mobile title for iOS and Android devices, Mario Kart Tour, has now ended service meaning that the game has now been shut down. You will still be able to see your past Mario Kart Tour stats, but there’s no racing on some of the ingenious courses that were created specifically for the game. Fortunately some of the new courses found their way to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass. RIP Mario Kart Tour, you will be missed.
Thanks to Jason F for sending in the news tip!
Never played it, never existed as far as I’m concerned like pretty much all of Nintendo’s other mobile games. They feel like relics of a bygone era prior to the Switch, when the industry was obsessed with everything going mobile and pressuring Nintendo, who were in a weaker position at the time, to follow suit.
Rest in Peace, that was a fun 2019.
It was fun while it lasted.
They should bring some of the courses to Mario kart world
Digital only game is now inaccessible permanently? Say it ain’t so!
It being a physical game wouldn’t have changed anything, if the servers shut down permanently then it’s over.
The “physical vs digital” debate has no place here, you’re just an idiot.
But the online only debate has a place. Every game should have offline functionality.
perfect moment for Nintendo to add the classic Mario 64 voice line “thank you so much for playing my game!’
R.I.P. The game was fun while it lasted. Thank you Mario Kart Tour.
I only played two races and decided I didn’t like all the gacha mechanics, so I never touched it again. Still, as a gamer, I’m sad to see it go.
I wonder of that Mario Kart Wii museum mod has made any further progress.
I’m so so so upset & annoyed by this, have been addicted + loyal to the app since it came out.
Without owning a gaming console it solved my mario kart withdrawals, was refreshed with new courses every two weeks, could play with fam & provided so many endorphin fixes with all the intrinsic rewards.
Then the last few tours, players received all these gem & ticket rewards that will never get used! Such a bad call.
This is devastating for people like myself, though respectfully in a first world problem kind of way.
