Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo’s latest Mario Kart iteration on mobile devices, will be debuting its latest tour in the form of the Trick Tour, which a trailer just dropped for.
The Trick Tour contains a number of new features and items for Gold Pass subscribers and non-subscribers alike. According to Pocket Gamer, the Trick Tour brings with it new karts, including the Landship Kart for both subscribers and non-subscribers. Meanwhile, the Gold Pass Tour gifts include the White Royale Kart and Gold Train Kart. A third Gold Pass Tour gift will come in the form of the Barrel Hanafuda glider, though those without Gold Pass subscriptions can obtain new items like Shy Guy and the Piston Glider with enough stars.
The trailer can be seen below.
The highlight of the Trick Tour appears to be Builder Mario, however, the Mario variant that can be seen in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. Builder Mario comes equipped with the Safety Glider and the Dozer Dasher kart, which has the appearance of a bulldozer.
Builder Mario can toss hammers, as his special ability, at nearby karts to slow them down and edge out the competition. The Dozer Dasher kart has a special ability known as Dash Panel Plus, which grants an increase to Dash Panel boost time. Further, the Safety Glider offers the Bob-omb Plus special skill, which makes obtaining a Bob-omb more likely with more points gathered from the use of Bob-ombs.
At this point, Builder Mario’s popularity has somewhat extended outside the scope of Super Mario Maker, as seen by his appearance in Mario Kart Tour, as well as a previous reference in Super Mario Odyssey. The kart and glider only make the addition to Mario Kart Tour all the more endearing.
Outside Builder Mario and his kart and glider, the trailer shows off other cool additions, as mentioned above. Some are exclusive with the Gold Pass subscription, which runs at $4.99 a month. This could be worth it, as Mario Kart Tour is rounding out, with additions like the Yoshi Circuit making the game feel like a full-on Mario Kart release.
Mario Kart Tour is currently available on mobile devices.
