One of the mobile games of the year is updated at Christmas for the last time with new characters, circuits and challenges on the occasion of the Holiday Tour.
Ahead of Santa Claus and the Magi, Mario Kart Tour has started Christmas with three gifts in the form of new playable characters. As of today, Wednesday, December 18, fans of the title will be able to get behind the wheel in the skin of Birdo, Yoshi dressed as reindeer and Pauline in a special New Year's dress. All of them are part of the last tour of the year, the Holiday Tour, whose characters aside, will also come loaded with challenges, new circuits and exclusive pieces for our go-karts. They add, do not forget, Santa Mario, who can touch us in the loot pipes until December 31.
This time of year is jam-packed with holiday fun, so it's no surprise that the last tour of the year is the aptly named Holiday Tour! And it starts Dec. 17, 10:00 PM PT! Rev up festive fun with #MarioKartTour! pic.twitter.com/AqGLxxsM88

Mario Kart Tour: a resounding success
Just over three months is what Mario Kart Tour has needed to become one of the mobile games of the year. A few days ago we knew, for example, that Apple had named it the most downloaded free iPhone game in 2019, taking the witness of Fortnite, which was in 2018, and standing ahead of names of the likes of Call of Duty: Mobile . And not only that, but also, the votes of Android users have given him the category of Best Casual Game of 2019, which have only won four more titles (Golf Peaks, Toy Story Drop !, Vineyard Valley and Fishing Life ).
A string of prizes and mentions that have even more merit if we consider that it does not yet have multiplayer mode. At the moment, this is only available in beta mode and only for holders of the gold pass, an option that costs 5.49 euros per month, includes all kinds of exclusive content that is updated and can be tested for free for 15 days. Once Nintendo finishes tuning the servers, the races against other players will become public domain and Mario Kart Tour will press the accelerator even more.
In case you had not seen Birdo, which is hidden in the Nintendo tweet.
