Nintendo considers Mario Kart Tour part of the mainline series and honestly I can see why. This game had the MOST content (characters and drivers) of any game in the series and introduced new things.
I would love for all the characters, karts, and gliders from Tour plus their variants to be in the next main Mario Kart. That would make grinding the game way more enjoyable.
As much as I would love that, I think we know for a fact that if they pack enough unlockables they're gonna be locked under a gacha element where you have to roll for them instead of grinding
I gotta agree, though the costumes and variations of characters needs to be implemented to the mainline games. And the other characters like king bomb omb and and hammer bros,
As someone who has played Mario Kart Tour since the start of 2020, I really wish that people gave the game more of a chance! The characters, karts, gliders, nitro tracks, retro tracks etc. were amazing and the replayability is second to none! I'm really gonna miss the new content being released but it's not like there's not a lot in it to keep players interested 😅
Yeah granted the game came out after I was done with mobile gaming for the amount of issues I got but the game itself while have problems still a worthwhile expirience according to freinds
Unfortunately people aren’t very open minded in the MK fanbase. They saw the gacha from day 1, never looked back, and like half of them probably believe the Diddy Kong pack still exists lmao.
I may not have played a lot of this game, but this is certainly one of the harder games for the developers to keep up with and stay motivated for. The developers had to keep coming up with new ideas for not only new characters (original or costume), but also karts, gliders, tracks, challenges etc. every two weeks. They did this for FOUR YEARS without breaks. You gotta give them credit where it's due.
Most of the items were finished in the first year or two of the game based on datamining. It's not sustainable for games to have 2 weeks to develop a whole new tour for 4 years in a row.
One interesting thing I noticed about the Wii course selection, is that by the end of the Booster Course Pass, Dry Dry Ruins is likely to be the only Wii remake in Mario Kart Tour to not have gotten ported to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!
Ending on the anniversary made a lot of sense, but dang. Honey Queen and Paratroopa were the only non-returning, non-guest veterans, and a Battle Tour would've been the perfect opportunity to bring them back with the beehive course from MK7. Looking forward to the future of MK!
As a Tour player,, It's insane how much content being added in Tour. I also appreciate Nintendo for including the Tour Nitros in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe so that way I can enjoy these tracks at anytime instead of wait for few weeks, or months to play a specific track in Tour. Plus, I would like to see some of the tracks like Ninja Hideaway, Vancouver Velocity, Yoshi’s Island etc.. in future Mario Kart titles.
I'm gonna miss tour....didn't play it much but it was still a fun ride seeing what was added... Also who agrees with me when i say the R versions should replace mirror mode?
Mario Kart Tour recently became Nintendo's second biggest earner on mobile after Fire Emblem Heroes. It earned around $243 million after being downloaded 230 million times, while the free-to-play version was the most downloaded iPhone game when it was released in 2019.
I’ve been a player since day one. I have never missed a single tour in the game (aside from the og Vancouver Tour) and I have loved the development and the process this game has gone through over the years. It’s unfortunate to see it ending its new content now and basically kinda kills the game, especially when it’s just repeats of last years tours. I hope they don’t plan on closing down the game anytime soon because us Tour players like myself really did enjoy this game. Tour also gave us the Booster Course Pass, which was one of my favorite additions for a Mario Kart game to this day! To finish this comment off, I just wanna day… I have loved every bit of seeing this game grow into the biggest Mario Kart game known to date. Long live MKT! ❤🎉
I’ve played Mario Kart Tour since day 1 and I don’t plan on stopping unless it goes out of service. I really wish more people had given it a chance longer than like a week or two. There’s no other Mario Kart game that has so much depth and strategy involved and you can play the game in so many ways. Thank you for giving it some love :)
I just started yesterday and that game takes mad skill. The main confusing part is the golden passes and cups like am I playing against real people or cpus?
@@blvddyblvntz567 You’re playing against CPUs. The only time you’re racing against actual people is online multiplayer. The players in your ranked cup are also real unless the player info bar is greyed out at the top which you can see by clicking on them and then scrolling up. Those player usually don’t have badges and have very low scores too. What questions do you have about the gold pass?
@@conicthehedgehog9166 Understandable, there is a bit of a learning curve to the controls but as I raced more I got more used to it and don’t really have a problem with it anymore. I do agree too that the gold pass and especially the gacha system could’ve been better when it was around, but it could’ve been worse too. That rush of excitement when you got gold on a 10 pipe and a star eventually popped up especially when you were spending rubies for a certain item was awesome. We won’t get to experience that again 😔
i know that many people aren't a fan of mario kart tour, and i completely get why. but you have to admit that the content that was created for it is the best out of any mario kart. i would love to see a new console mario kart that would include as much content as tour does. different costumes, special items, a huge track selection (maybe even all tracks that have existed before?) and reverse tracks are things that would make for an incredible new mario kart!
Meanwhile, the transactions are why they have these Releasing new characters and outfits to power creep over the old ones and new courses so those new characters can have frequently appearing favorite tracks so they could power creep even farther over the old ones It's sad when all we want is a Yoshi in a funny kangaroo costume
@@colmecolwag Nah I'd rather still just have them in large DLC packs if they have them in a new game. Can't stand battlepasses or outrageous store prices like in CoD when before we could pay $20 for 4 maps which was way worth the money than $24 one one skin. MK8 Already had the two DLC tracks which I paid for and MK8D had the extra waves for $25 or free if you have NSO
Tour has given us a huge variety of updated tracks and charecter models that will probably be pulled from in the future games. Its amazing how much they did! Especially just for a mobile game.
I remember it came out in my last year of highschool a few months before Covid shut it all down. For a solid month and a half everyone was playing it, it was like the second coming of Pokémon go
I have always wished Nintendo would add an option for people who play Mario Kart Tour to transfer the karts, gliders, and even character skins they unlocked in the game to be used in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Would’ve been great, Tour has a huge selection of gliders which we can use, whereas the glider selection for both MK7 and MK8 (& Deluxe) is far too barebones
Tbh the only character i still miss from the vast collection of tour characters is Olivia from Origami King, her quirky attitude is kinda unique and would fit into the party kinda games really well
Don't ask why, but I was really expecting them to add DS Yoshi Falls. It just feels like it would be a Tour track. Also I kinda wish more N64 tracks got the insane glowups that Frappe Snowland and Choco Mountain got. Just imagine what N64 Banshee Boardwalk or Bowser's Castle would have looked like.
As someone who played this game since launch and since then an active player to the game, I must say, this is very devastating news. I miss new content. I wished that they would've added *EVERY* track from SNES, N64, GBA, DS, Wii, 3DS. And they could do Remix, Reverse, Trick, and Reverse/Trick varients of all those courses because might aswell, they added most of the tracks so better off adding all of them and enhancing them to make the game last longer. I also wished that there could be more exclusive battle mode tracks and standard tracks as we are *VERY* limited on those compared to retro tracks... Looks like that won't happen, I will miss the times when I used to wake up 7AM (In Winter 6AM) when the game had it's daily reset just to see what new things they added each tour, that will be a thing in the past and will never happen again. Farwell Mario Kart Tour, you will be missed! RIP Mario Kart Tour New Content - 2019-2023 :'(
I remembered playing the game on release, but seeing it died made me come back to play it again for the last tours. It had issues, but I think it’s a fun game.
With Mario Kart Tour and the Booster Course Pass ending, I really hope we get a new mainline Mario Kart game soon! I would like to see an updated Mario Kart 9 (or 10 if you count Tour) prediction/wishlist once the Booster Course Pass is complete. While I have barely played Mario Kart Tour and don’t care for it very much, I will give it credit for adding a lot of new elements to the series as well as bringing back a ton of retro tracks.
@@leosnyder5264 to most older Mario Kart fans, having at least 32 tracks is good enough especially if its new tracks are really good and on top of that its gameplay is going to be a major improvement from MK8D. The only people that will be negatively impacted by the next Mario Kart are going to be 8 Deluxe players who bought the Booster Course Pass.
I think another thing worth noting is the addition of different balloon designs: a default one, plus 49 with different characters and images on them, plus 6 that are shaped differently. It’s frustrating that you can’t access your collection from the menu like everything else, though. I’m gonna miss the new updates, kind of sad we didn’t get Goomba or a Pauline Mii suit lol, but I’m grateful for the inclusion of the Goomba Mii Suit and Pauline, and her 3 variants as well. Looking forward to what’s next for MK :)
I used to play this game, I think either last year or two years ago, and it was pretty fun. However, I stopped because the game was no longer compatible with my phone. Just LOOKING at Tour's kart and glider content on the Mario Wiki makes my jaw drop! If the next Mario Kart games ever happens, I hope we get more custom content like this!
Mario Kart Tour may be finished, but the game will live on through its online play and community. Mario Kart games are known for lasting long periods of time. I mean, people are still playing MK8 on Wii U 'till this day (I found a full lobby last week).
Mario Kart Tour evolved as a game over time, in a good way. After just getting rid of the gacha mechanics and making the game more friendly to newcomers, that's when I felt that the game was at its peak. I will not regret the amount of time that I've spent playing this game.
In a future game I hope that more city tracks will be made as there are plenty of cities they could still do for city tracks like Rio De Janeiro. Additionally I hope they will consider porting over all the non costume characters to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as well but I am not going to be too hopeful just to be safe.
As someone who's played Tour since launch (technically the closed beta before that) I've been through it's ups and downs but the content that it added was amazing. The R, T, and R/T tracks are such a fun idea, the characters, karts, and gliders are neat. And just a bunch of small things that I enjoyed and want to see in later Mario Karts. Yes it has it's mobile game quirks but it's personally one of my favorite Mario Kart games. Gonna miss seeing it get new stuff
Sad to see this game near its end (not shutdown yet) as I did play it for all 4 years. A few things I would like to see carried from Tour to the next Mario Kart would be this: Have R, T, & R/T instead of Mirror Mode as well as Mission Mode. Bring over the RMX Tracks. Have Luigi (Vacation), Dr. Bowser, & White Tanooki Mario. Bring over the Fast Frank and the Candlelight Flight. Bring back all the the Items (except Bubble). Some things that I wish Tour would've done: Add Bowser Castle 4 T and R/T as well as Rock Rock Mountain R/T Add more Battle Tracks (as well as fixed the Battle Music). Fix the Mii's points (they gave you 10 base points for each extra Mii Outfit).
Every release in the Mario Kart series is absolute quality I just know that the next game in the franchise is going to be something special like always.
Its a shame that they had to go down the microtransaction route for this one. Honestly with the sheer amount of content this game could've been a subscription service and be infinitely better for it.
I think it's a good route to take, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean it's a free Mario kart game? That's way better than you having to pay for it
@@mariotheundying Well the game is free to start, which is one benefit. However, actually unlocking items is where it's more luck, especially if it's an item you desire for so long. Also, rotating tracks every two weeks means you don't get to play every track you want to at anytime, unlike past games.
I mean I've been only paying for the $5 gold pass and gotten most of the stuff by now. It's very easy to manage your resources with the subscription just they know some people will end up wanting to get everything instantly.
Someone should upload a video featuring every track featured in Mario Kart Tour as a compilation of previous recordings, for the sake of showcasing what it had before it's gone. And people can also make separate compilations based on every character and costume, every kart, every glider and every power-up in their own individual videos. That would be pretty cool!
It bothers me that once this game reaches end of service, it just straight up won’t be playable anymore. The games got discontinued before but this would be the first one to become flat out unplayable
i played this game everyday for 4 years and stopped playing recently. they took us for a ride ups and down yet so much content it felt so incomplete so mad
I think the reason the game fell off is because they took so long to launch the multiplayer mode. It didn't take long for people to realise they were playing vs bots and uninstall the game. When it did launch, the multiplayer mode was (and still is) very glitchy. Despite being very rich in content, it severely lacks in basic mobile game functions.
I'm not going to lie. Mario kart music are so awesome that halfway through the video I no longer hear you talking and am just jamming out to the music.
@@WritingCountingOriginal Yeah, they just jump into the hate train without any second thoughts. Some of them just hating it just for having microtransactions, like they can't just play it without paying. This game is free to play and doesn't throw you ads after each race.
Imagine playing with a specific character unlocks new cosmetics for them and levels up your "mastery" of that character. and a Level Max character unlocks their gold skin to flex online. I would love that. My favorite character design of the Mario franchise of all time was introduced in this game, its the Pirate Bowser Jr.
Like it or not, Nintendo considers Tour as a mainline game and is "Mario Kart 9". The next game would most likely be Mario Kart 10. I'm honestly pretty sad that Tour is not getting anymore updates, but leaving it up is still a smart move for people to check it out. Although Tour's controls are a bit jank, i absolutely love it's combo system, and would love to see it as a seperate mode in a future Mario Kart title. Not to mention, the kart and glider designs are so good! I really wanna see them return. Also I'm a bit sad that we arent gonna see more City tracks, we never got a South American or African track. So I kinda hope that the next Mario Kart would maybe include 4 new City Courses.
Fun Mario Kart Tour facts: 1. Every N64, GCN, and DS course to return as a retro in Tour had been remade at least once before appearing in Tour. 2. All of the GBA tracks that were added to the BCP (as well as Yoshi Desert) got entirely new music in Tour as opposed to all other courses using either their original or most recent pre existing version of the music. 3. DS Mario Circuit is the one exception to fact 2. It is the only non GBA/BCP retro course to get original music. 4. The reason almost all of Mario Kart 7's courses were added to Tour is because it was made using 7's engine. Strange that they didn't add all 16 though. Same with not getting all 20 SNES courses considering yeah, the assets are all there. 5. Mario Kart Tour is the first time a SNES Bowser Castle has ever been remade (Super Circuit doesn't count because all they did was literally copy/paste the SNES courses into the GBA engine) 6. The only non crossover characters to appear in a Mario Kart game that did not reappear in Tour are Paratroopa and Honey Queen Overall, Mario Kart Tour has been a pretty nice game, despite the controversies around the initial gacha mechanics. I played it a bit when it first came out but then stopped until the BCP was revealed. I hope that some of the features that it introduced (new items, R variants of courses, RMX courses) get added to Mario Kart 9. It's safe to assume that at the very least the new characters, cities and other nitros will return; but hopefully they'll bring more.
That’s good for those who cannot afford everything right away as we can now take our time to get everything and catch up on what we previously missed using the features from the updates
What’s confusing to me is how Rock Rock Mountain never got an R/T variant. It was literally part of the game since the very beginning and never in the 4 years that the game was active did Rock Rock Mountain get an R/T variant.
I feel like Wario Coliseum not having a remake to this day is criminal. was I born in 2005, yes, but I still played Wario Coliseum when my dad still had the game cube. It was my favorite track, and I hope its included in the next MK game. and if their reasoning is because its only two laps. Baby Park is 7. So I don't see a problem, if anyone disagrees I'm happy to point out exactly why its good.
Bro ngl Nintendo should do a Battle Booster Course Pass or BBCP, it's so underrated. Tour came out with some of the best new tracks. Its sad to see it end, but who knows maybe there will be Mario Kart Twor
You left out the challenge Mode. It's similar to DS' Mission Mode. You have an objective to do within a time limit. Which has one per cup. As for the next Mario Kart game, here's what they should do to make it perfect. 1: Add every game's track, kart, glider, and item. 2: Each lap, the track gradually changes styles. Lap one could be 64's. Lap 2 could be Double Dash and so on. 3: Let courses be played offline. Even if you're just driving around and exploring, at least you'll be able to play them. Instead of trying to time it so you finally get to play that one course you never got to play. 4: Option to choose to play against players or AI. While AI is just for fun and doing unlocks the same way, you wouldn't be ranked. While Players is for rankings. 5: Add Challenges to do during races. Example: Block a Red Shell from hitting you 5 times in one race. Completing them can earn a character/kart/glider variation (Peach with Green Clothes). As for why they left out a few, they were probably pressed for time. I'm not sure how long it took them to make new content. It surely wasn't within 24 hours.

Looks like that won't happen, I will miss the times when I used to wake up 7AM (In Winter 6AM) when the game had it's daily reset just to see what new things they added each tour, that will be a thing in the past and will never happen again. Farwell Mario Kart Tour, you will be missed! RIP Mario Kart Tour New Content - 2019-2023 :'(
I hope the next Mario Kart isn't ridiculously expensive. No lootboxes, no toys, no expensive DLC, etc
The only Mario kart game like that is tour. (That I know of)
Tour doesn't have loot boxes anymore
@@octarian2697 they used to be awful though, whole reason I stopped playing (besides getting MK8D)
@hiilikepizza3197 Not to mention they added in several characters too, it's really surpassed its price at this point. 😊
$25 for 48 tracks and 8 characters isn't expensive
I remembered playing the game on release, but seeing it died made me come back to play it again for the last tours. It had issues, but I think it’s a fun game.
I also took a long break from the game. I came back recently for the final content.
It's sad to see this game not receiving any new content but all things must come to a end
True that but a 4 year lifespan for a Nintendo Mobile game is incredible
@@notnotj1979It's honestly is
I feel kinda sad that this game is almost over ever since I play tested this game I've always liked it
I guess Mario Kart Tour didn't want to spoil the new Mario Kart game's tracks since MKT introduces new tracks for the DLC for MK8DX
With Mario Kart Tour and the Booster Course Pass ending, I really hope we get a new mainline Mario Kart game soon! I would like to see an updated Mario Kart 9 (or 10 if you count Tour) prediction/wishlist once the Booster Course Pass is complete. While I have barely played Mario Kart Tour and don’t care for it very much, I will give it credit for adding a lot of new elements to the series as well as bringing back a ton of retro tracks.
even if Tour is a mainline Mario Kart, that won't stop the next Mario Kart from being called "Mario Kart 9".
We don't need a new mk way pay70 dollars for Les shut then mk8d. They should do a pass 2 it wood he better
@@leosnyder5264 to most older Mario Kart fans, having at least 32 tracks is good enough especially if its new tracks are really good and on top of that its gameplay is going to be a major improvement from MK8D. The only people that will be negatively impacted by the next Mario Kart are going to be 8 Deluxe players who bought the Booster Course Pass.
Oh wow, I've never played Tour and honestly had no idea that it had so much packed into it.
I think another thing worth noting is the addition of different balloon designs: a default one, plus 49 with different characters and images on them, plus 6 that are shaped differently. It’s frustrating that you can’t access your collection from the menu like everything else, though. I’m gonna miss the new updates, kind of sad we didn’t get Goomba or a Pauline Mii suit lol, but I’m grateful for the inclusion of the Goomba Mii Suit and Pauline, and her 3 variants as well. Looking forward to what’s next for MK :)
I used to play this game, I think either last year or two years ago, and it was pretty fun. However, I stopped because the game was no longer compatible with my phone. Just LOOKING at Tour's kart and glider content on the Mario Wiki makes my jaw drop! If the next Mario Kart games ever happens, I hope we get more custom content like this!
Mario Kart Tour may be finished, but the game will live on through its online play and community. Mario Kart games are known for lasting long periods of time. I mean, people are still playing MK8 on Wii U 'till this day (I found a full lobby last week).
Too bad wii u online is shutting down
MK Wii has been alive since 2015 cus it did die in 2013 but then CTGP became a thing
@C1-wz9jj MKWii's official servers actually died in 2014 before the Wii U came out
I enjoyed it the first year but got tired of it realizing how there are a ton of super rare characters I’ll almost never get
Mario Kart Tour evolved as a game over time, in a good way. After just getting rid of the gacha mechanics and making the game more friendly to newcomers, that's when I felt that the game was at its peak.
I will not regret the amount of time that I've spent playing this game.
Wait hold on, aint you nathaniel b?
1:48 frustration series
In a future game I hope that more city tracks will be made as there are plenty of cities they could still do for city tracks like Rio De Janeiro. Additionally I hope they will consider porting over all the non costume characters to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as well but I am not going to be too hopeful just to be safe.
City tracks are a thing of Mario Kart Tour (hence the "Tour" in the name).
15:38 Shouldn't the Waluigi Racer MK 2 be here as it's kinda the Waluigi Racer from Double Dash
Honestly, probably my favourite Mario Kart game
Sarcasm alert 🚨
@WritingCountingOriginal when someone mentions something slightly negative about mario kart tour:
@@hinesecitizen My intuition isn’t based off nothing. Also don’t take it seriously, I’m just poking fun.
To tell you the truth, it actually is mine too
Tracks I’m salty about never getting:
N64 Wario Stadium
GBA Rainbow Road
GCN Mushroom City
Wii Toad’s Factory
These tracks can be saved for the next Mario Kart.
What if we got a Battle track Pass
R.I.P Mario kart tour, you’ll be missed.
*never
@@Blueflag04get out of here kid cry your self a river 😂
As someone who's played Tour since launch (technically the closed beta before that) I've been through it's ups and downs but the content that it added was amazing. The R, T, and R/T tracks are such a fun idea, the characters, karts, and gliders are neat. And just a bunch of small things that I enjoyed and want to see in later Mario Karts. Yes it has it's mobile game quirks but it's personally one of my favorite Mario Kart games. Gonna miss seeing it get new stuff
Sad to see this game near its end (not shutdown yet) as I did play it for all 4 years.
A few things I would like to see carried from Tour to the next Mario Kart would be this:
Have R, T, & R/T instead of Mirror Mode as well as Mission Mode.
Bring over the RMX Tracks.
Have Luigi (Vacation), Dr. Bowser, & White Tanooki Mario.
Bring over the Fast Frank and the Candlelight Flight.
Bring back all the the Items (except Bubble).
Some things that I wish Tour would've done:
Add Bowser Castle 4 T and R/T as well as Rock Rock Mountain R/T
Add more Battle Tracks (as well as fixed the Battle Music).
Fix the Mii's points (they gave you 10 base points for each extra Mii Outfit).
I didn't enjoy Tour's gameplay, but I love its content. I hope all of the alternate outfits and the RMX tracks return in the next Mario Kart.
If Mario Kart Tour isn't adding anymore new content. Can you make a "The Good and Bad of Mario Kart Tour" video?
To think so much new content is locked in a mobile game, depressing. I really wish to see a lot of this in Mario Kart 9 (or possibly the BCP)
Yeah it sucks.
I think you mean MAR10KART
@@bipinnambiar ohmygod
Every release in the Mario Kart series is absolute quality I just know that the next game in the franchise is going to be something special like always.
Its a shame that they had to go down the microtransaction route for this one. Honestly with the sheer amount of content this game could've been a subscription service and be infinitely better for it.
Nah, this route is better. It lets people like me, who wouldn't be able to continue paying the fee, to also be able to play the game.
I think it's a good route to take, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean it's a free Mario kart game? That's way better than you having to pay for it
@@mariotheundying Well the game is free to start, which is one benefit. However, actually unlocking items is where it's more luck, especially if it's an item you desire for so long. Also, rotating tracks every two weeks means you don't get to play every track you want to at anytime, unlike past games.
I mean I've been only paying for the $5 gold pass and gotten most of the stuff by now. It's very easy to manage your resources with the subscription just they know some people will end up wanting to get everything instantly.
Someone should upload a video featuring every track featured in Mario Kart Tour as a compilation of previous recordings, for the sake of showcasing what it had before it's gone. And people can also make separate compilations based on every character and costume, every kart, every glider and every power-up in their own individual videos. That would be pretty cool!
RIP Mario Kart Tour! I will miss the very cool retro character
It bothers me that once this game reaches end of service, it just straight up won’t be playable anymore. The games got discontinued before but this would be the first one to become flat out unplayable
This was one of the best Nintendo mobile releases let’s be honest
I remember someone asked the customer support how to make the panini glider and they gave the actual recipe
Ain’t you Nathaniel B?
i played this game everyday for 4 years and stopped playing recently. they took us for a ride ups and down yet so much content it felt so incomplete so mad
I’m jealous of the content Mario Kart Tour has compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Why? 8 Deluxe has a way higher ratio of quality to quantity.
@@SchmergDergen Yeah and after Booster Course Pass there's so much content to the game. And the base game already had a lot
I think the reason the game fell off is because they took so long to launch the multiplayer mode. It didn't take long for people to realise they were playing vs bots and uninstall the game. When it did launch, the multiplayer mode was (and still is) very glitchy. Despite being very rich in content, it severely lacks in basic mobile game functions.
The best part of this game without a doubt is the logo!
Happy 30th birthday, Nathaniel Bandy!! I’m a big fan of your channel
wait hol up aint you nathaniel b?
I'm not going to lie. Mario kart music are so awesome that halfway through the video I no longer hear you talking and am just jamming out to the music.
Hold up ain’t you:
Nathaniel B
This game went from not having enough content at launch,to having a crazy amount of new cart's and character's
Underrated game
The servers and stuff are still gonna be up, aren’t they? They’re just done with new content, yeah?
Yes. The servers will probably last a while longer.
Aint you nathaniel b?
thank you for everything Mario kart tour.
It's really disappointing and unfair that some people just blindly hate the game without giving it a try.
What do you expect? People are stupid and narrow minded.
@@WritingCountingOriginal Yeah, they just jump into the hate train without any second thoughts. Some of them just hating it just for having microtransactions, like they can't just play it without paying. This game is free to play and doesn't throw you ads after each race.
Imagine playing with a specific character unlocks new cosmetics for them and levels up your "mastery" of that character. and a Level Max character unlocks their gold skin to flex online. I would love that. My favorite character design of the Mario franchise of all time was introduced in this game, its the Pirate Bowser Jr.
R.I.P Mario Kart Tour’s Content 2019-2023 😭💖
its weird how nathaniel and bathaniel upload at the same time
Hold up
In the next Mario Kart game I'd like to see a score attack mode.
Keeping your combo going in Tour was the absolute best part of the game.
Like it or not, Nintendo considers Tour as a mainline game and is "Mario Kart 9". The next game would most likely be Mario Kart 10.
I'm honestly pretty sad that Tour is not getting anymore updates, but leaving it up is still a smart move for people to check it out.
Although Tour's controls are a bit jank, i absolutely love it's combo system, and would love to see it as a seperate mode in a future Mario Kart title. Not to mention, the kart and glider designs are so good! I really wanna see them return.
Also I'm a bit sad that we arent gonna see more City tracks, we never got a South American or African track. So I kinda hope that the next Mario Kart would maybe include 4 new City Courses.
Fun Mario Kart Tour facts:
1. Every N64, GCN, and DS course to return as a retro in Tour had been remade at least once before appearing in Tour.
2. All of the GBA tracks that were added to the BCP (as well as Yoshi Desert) got entirely new music in Tour as opposed to all other courses using either their original or most recent pre existing version of the music.
3. DS Mario Circuit is the one exception to fact 2. It is the only non GBA/BCP retro course to get original music.
4. The reason almost all of Mario Kart 7's courses were added to Tour is because it was made using 7's engine. Strange that they didn't add all 16 though. Same with not getting all 20 SNES courses considering yeah, the assets are all there.
5. Mario Kart Tour is the first time a SNES Bowser Castle has ever been remade (Super Circuit doesn't count because all they did was literally copy/paste the SNES courses into the GBA engine)
6. The only non crossover characters to appear in a Mario Kart game that did not reappear in Tour are Paratroopa and Honey Queen
Overall, Mario Kart Tour has been a pretty nice game, despite the controversies around the initial gacha mechanics. I played it a bit when it first came out but then stopped until the BCP was revealed. I hope that some of the features that it introduced (new items, R variants of courses, RMX courses) get added to Mario Kart 9. It's safe to assume that at the very least the new characters, cities and other nitros will return; but hopefully they'll bring more.
It won't be missed
That’s good for those who cannot afford everything right away as we can now take our time to get everything and catch up on what we previously missed using the features from the updates
Don't you Nathaniel b
If I were to be an optimist, Mario Kart Tour shows how much more room the series has to grow.
What’s confusing to me is how Rock Rock Mountain never got an R/T variant. It was literally part of the game since the very beginning and never in the 4 years that the game was active did Rock Rock Mountain get an R/T variant.
I’d probably have a better opinion of Tour if it wasn’t taken off my App Store so long ago
I feel like Wario Coliseum not having a remake to this day is criminal. was I born in 2005, yes, but I still played Wario Coliseum when my dad still had the game cube. It was my favorite track, and I hope its included in the next MK game. and if their reasoning is because its only two laps. Baby Park is 7. So I don't see a problem, if anyone disagrees I'm happy to point out exactly why its good.
11:59 "Peach has 12 variants"
(Toadette secretly hiding under the crown)
Bro ngl Nintendo should do a Battle Booster Course Pass or BBCP, it's so underrated. Tour came out with some of the best new tracks. Its sad to see it end, but who knows maybe there will be Mario Kart Twor
7:03 WOW! I can’t believe I’m just NOW finding out about sprite characters… now that it’s all done!
You left out the challenge Mode. It's similar to DS' Mission Mode. You have an objective to do within a time limit. Which has one per cup.
As for the next Mario Kart game, here's what they should do to make it perfect.
1: Add every game's track, kart, glider, and item.
2: Each lap, the track gradually changes styles. Lap one could be 64's. Lap 2 could be Double Dash and so on.
3: Let courses be played offline. Even if you're just driving around and exploring, at least you'll be able to play them. Instead of trying to time it so you finally get to play that one course you never got to play.
4: Option to choose to play against players or AI. While AI is just for fun and doing unlocks the same way, you wouldn't be ranked. While Players is for rankings.
5: Add Challenges to do during races. Example: Block a Red Shell from hitting you 5 times in one race. Completing them can earn a character/kart/glider variation (Peach with Green Clothes).
As for why they left out a few, they were probably pressed for time. I'm not sure how long it took them to make new content. It surely wasn't within 24 hours.
Hard to believe they stopped updating with only 5 Battle Courses.
