One of the most anticipated titles in the last year from Nintendo for mobile platforms is Mario Kart Tour, a game that according to the manufacturer had been forced to delay its launch due to I was not entirely happy with the development and gameplay it offered. Fortunately, it seems that we will not have to wait much longer to enjoy it.
In late April, Nintendo opened the beta program for all users who would like to enter the Mario Kart Tour beta program could do it. For the past few hours, Nitendo has made the first beta available to these users, so they have already started filter both the first images and the first videos.
In the images and video filtered through iGeneration, we can see how the Mario Kart Tour game shows us a racing game located in the Mushroom Kingdom where participants have to try to be the first by jumping, skidding ...
This game, like Super Mario Run seems like is designed to be used with one hand, so that we only have to slide our finger towards the area of the screen where we want to direct our character's vehicle.
The vehicle accelerates automatically, like Super Mario Run, where we can only manage when it jumps, not where to direct the character. The tracks seem to be the same that we could already find in Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Martio Kart 7.
The default controls make the vehicle automatically veers around curves although we have the possibility of activating the manual mode that will give us greater freedom. There are four levels of difficulty: 50cc, 100, 150 and 200cc and the same soundtrack that we can find in other franchise titles.
As we can see in the screenshots, many of Mario's characters are available in this version such as Luigi, Toad, Shay Guy, Waluigi, Peach, Toadette and many more, but in order to use them, we will have to make use of in-game purchases, since some of them are considered rare and that also allow us to obtain unique objects and bonuses during races.
