The second test session of the online multiplayer game mode is now available to everyone; This time without the need for a Golden Pass.
Nintendo has launched the second test of the online multiplayer mode of Mario Kart Tour, the title of the saga for iOS and Android as a free to play mode. Unlike last December, when it was necessary to have a monthly Gold Pass subscription (5.49 euros per month), this time the online multiplayer beta is completely free. For all.
Dates and conditions: how to play Mario Kart Tour online
The first and most important are the dates. From this Thursday, January 23 until next January 29 at 06: 59h (CEST), anyone who has Mario Kart Tour on their iOS (App Store) or Android (Google Play) mobile device can use this mode .
This time the matchmaking is based on the location, unlike the previous one. Nintendo ensures that the players with whom we are paired (races of up to eight simultaneous players) will be users who are close to us.
Whether or not you subscribe to the Golden Pass, you don't have to worry: open the game and, as we show in the image, we play in “Multiplayer” and we will be asked if we give consent for the game to take data from our location.
Next, a second screen in which the corresponding Cup will be in which the races will be played. Rotations are every several hours; At the time of writing this article, the Baby Peach Cup. Each cup always consists of three circuits.
Depending on whether we want to play with friends or strangers, we will have to click on “World Cup” or “Friends”, where a room will be created in which those players that we have added as friends on Mario Kart Tour can participate.
