Mario Kart Tour is saying farewell New York and hello Tokyo tomorrow, as Nintendo’s microtransaction-laden mobile racer’s globe-trotting adventure rumbles on.
When Mario Kart Tour’s Tokyo leg begins tomorrow, 9th October, at 7am BST in the UK (or tonight at 11pm PDT), it will introduce a brand-new track inspired by the Japanese city. That’s accompanied by new Tour Spotlight Items, including a Japan-themed Mario variant, which replace Nintendo’s current New-York-themed set.
Alongside those limited-time elements, Mario Kart Tour will also receive a new racer and a classic series track as part of its Tokyo update. Joining the character line-up is no-nonsense space princess Rosalina, while everybody’s favourite undulating, multi-coloured death highway, Rainbow Road, expands the track roster.
