Mario Kart Tour is OVER. How Much Content was Added?

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 know it'll never happen, but I would love for every costume to be available in the next mainline Mario Kart, if it ever happens.

Tour had always felt like a testing zone for future games to me. I’d love for the next game to have rich single player content

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 😅

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.

The game was so close to bringing back every non-guest character, just missing Honey Queen and Paratroopa. Even DK JR came back 😂

For a mobile game, Mario Kart Tour definitely has some great ideas that I'm sure will make Mario Kart's future better.

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!

Tour is one of those things that you don't truly appreciate it until it's gone

Mario Kart 10... it's time

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.

By miles, the most underrated Mario Kart ever. it's a pitty it's not getting new content anymore.

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 :)

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.

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'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?

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.

I don’t even play Mario kart tour, I just love watching a good ol Bandy video

Thanks for having us on Nathaniel! We're glad you enjoyed VITURE One - there's no better way to level up the Switch experience. 😎

So much dedication Tour’s content gave us

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.

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.

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)

That was a great video analyzing all of the content brought to Mario Kart Tour. I was really sad when finding out they were not making any more new content, but I think I knew it was coming at the same time, because of the Booster Course Pass winding down. It was fun playing some of the fun retro tracks they brought, and the amazing city tracks too.

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

Ain’t you Nathaniel B?

R.I.P Mario Kart Tour’s Content 2019-2023 😭💖

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!

I think different versions of tracks is something that should return in the next Mario Kart to spice things up.

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

I want things like this in mainline mario kart just without the transactions.

Mario kart tour is the most underrated game in the series. So many great tracks and characters

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).

Oh wow, I've never played Tour and honestly had no idea that it had so much packed into it.

Why has Wario Stadium from Mario Kart 64 still never been remade and brought back in a new Mario Kart game?! It is amazing!

Happy 30th birthday, Nathaniel Bandy!! I’m a big fan of your channel

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 feel kinda sad that this game is almost over ever since I play tested this game I've always liked it

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 :'(

Note: Squeaky Clean Sprint, Yoshi's Island, and Sky High Sundae were both shown and released in MK8 Deluxe before a trailer for them in Mario Kart Tour was released. So as far as I'm concerned, those three are retro tracks in Tour

Wait hold on, aint you nathaniel b?

wait hol up aint you nathaniel b?

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.

7:03 WOW! I can’t believe I’m just NOW finding out about sprite characters… now that it’s all done!

I remember when this first came out back in high school everybody was playing it except me because I didn’t have a phone it was so popular in my highschool man so many memories

I played tour for a bit, it was nice, I regret not playing it more. Also the music is god tier

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!

I've had lots of fun playing and collecting so much stuff in the game including playing on so many new and returning tracks in the game. And I'll still be playing to collect any missing driver, karts, gliders, I don't have and also leveling up. Except for paying some of those items that are behind a paywall. Those I won't get.

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

Finally, a positive video about Tour. :D As a 4 year tour player with half the stuffs, I enjoyed it while it lasted :0

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.

thank you for everything Mario kart tour.

I've been playing since 2021! I liked how the game evolved slowly over time. (For the better) I also agree that it would be amazing if the alts were in a future Mario Kart Game.

Hold up ain’t you:

What if we got a Battle track Pass

I think the next mario kart will add most of the characters and karts at launch then overtime add the rest with some new ones sprinkled in

when MK8DX releases it's final wave, I'd love for a final update to include routes for the city tracks that weren't referenced in the track's initial release. (Paris promenade goes route 1 twice and paris promenade1 R. sydney sprint is another that didn't have all routes accessible as well, the MK8 track does 1, 2 and then 1R)

It's sad to see this game not receiving any new content but all things must come to a end

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

I remember playing that game in late 2020 but I stopped playing it in late 2021 because it eventually got boring. now I'm feeling nostalgic

I’m happy I got to be there for the 5 year run of mk tour, and even happier for the future of Mario kart.

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.

Aint you nathaniel b?

its weird how nathaniel and bathaniel upload at the same time

Honestly, probably my favourite Mario Kart game

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.

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

This game went from not having enough content at launch,to having a crazy amount of new cart's and character's

Nice! A new Mario Kart video! My favorites! :D

Underrated game

I hope the next Mario Kart isn't ridiculously expensive. No lootboxes, no toys, no expensive DLC, etc

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.

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

RIP Mario Kart Tour! I will miss the very cool retro character

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

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!

I’m jealous of the content Mario Kart Tour has compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Hold up

I've been playing the game since day one every day. Boy will I miss the hype for new content.

I think the thing I’m going to miss the most about this game is my daily 2 notifications. Even though I rarely play the game, I keep notifications on and I really like them :)

It's really disappointing and unfair that some people just blindly hate the game without giving it a try.

The best part of this game without a doubt is the logo!

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.

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.

Rip Tour. But hopefully a new Mario Kart by 2025!!!!!! IM CALLING IT

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

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).

It won't be missed

Don't you Nathaniel b

I was one of MKT players since 2019!

I should have played this game earlier, obviously it was fun! This game is rerunning 2022 events in MK Tour right now because the 4th Year Anniversary event was already over days ago!

I've played Mario kart tour a lot back in 2019 and seeing it not getting any more updates to this day I just want to say RIP Mario kart tour

This game hooked me and I haven’t touched a video game since I was a kid 20+ years ago

Had a feeling some Tour video was coming after seeing your Twitter

If Mario Kart Tour isn't adding anymore new content. Can you make a "The Good and Bad of Mario Kart Tour" video?
