Nintendo’s biggest franchises have slowly trickled onto the mobile space. Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and more recently, Mario Kart. The mobile title Mario Kart Title was a weird one, though, with one of the many reasons being a lack of multiplayer, which has been so crucial to Mario Kart over the years (though that also didn’t seem to affect its success much). But multiplayer is coming and now everyone can get a free taste.
The game had a beta before, but it was only open to Gold Pass subscribers. The second beta will be available to everyone who has has the app downloaded. It’ll also have a new feature where you can race against local players using local data.
Mario Kart Tour is available now for all compatible iOS and Android devices. The multiplayer beta is live now across all devices. Save data from the beta will not carry over to the full multiplayer when it launches. There’s no official date for when that will be as of now.
