It’s time to hit the track again, Mario Kart Tour fans. The game’s latest update has just arrived, bringing new content, multiplayer tweaks and a character that has never been a playable racer in the series before!
Since its release last September, Mario Kart Tour has fared very well in terms of downloads and revenue. This is no surprise: like fellow Nintendo mobile titans such as Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, it’s one of the biggest gaming franchises around and a blast to be able to play in mobile form.
That doesn’t mean the game doesn’t have its issues, though. Microtransaction shenanigans have reared their ugly heads in a big way here, and multiplayer (a crucial element of any Mario Kart experience) wasn’t a factor for quite some time. After it was implemented, it certainly needed some tweaking, but the new update should go some way to helping with that.
As Pocket Gamer reports, this new update adds Room Codes and Team Game rules to the multiplayer. Support for future features (namely the Coins Aplenty event and Expert Challenges) has also been included, giving players a sneak peek at what’s coming their way in future updates.
Finally, the next racer to arrive on the scene is none other than Monty Mole. These relatively obscure enemies have been making a name for themselves recently, appearing as a playable character in Super Mario Party for the first time in the series. Now they’re jumping into the action in Mario Kart for the first time!
