Have you ever heard or played the game Mario Kart Tour? This latest free Android game is a series from the legendary game, Mario Kart. The first Mario Kart series itself was released in 1992. And during these 27 years, Nintendo has spawned many other Mario Kart series. No wonder this game is popular in various circles, both for today’s children and 90s children who are now growing up.

Mario Kart Tour was released by Nintendo on September 24, 2021. This game, which has now been downloaded more than 10 million times, has the same concept as the previous series. Where players race online using characters in the cute and adorable Mario series.

Of course there is a special reason why Nintendo finally designed one of its popular games for the mobile version. The main goal is of course to expand the target market. Considering the number of smartphone users is much larger than Nintendo’s own console users. By making a mobile version, it is hoped that more people will play the Mario Kart game. Before you download it, let’s take a look at Kabar Games’ review of one of the best racing games, Mario Kart Tour.

Mario Kart Tour Game Review

Although the number of downloads is already very large, in fact this game cannot be separated from scathing criticism from gamers. One of them is Mario Kart Tour does not provide login using a Google account or social media account, but must login using a Nintendo account. This is of course very complicated, considering that there are many players out there who don’t have a Nintendo account and are forced to register first before they can play it.

When it comes to graphics, this game has visuals that are still fairly standard. Maybe for some people, the graphics of Mario Kart Tour feel great, but for gamers who are used to playing games with stunning graphic quality, then this game will feel normal. And unfortunately, there is no option to choose medium or high graphics.

In terms of gameplay itself, Mario Kart Tour is fairly simple and easy to play. No need to rack your brain like a strategy game, you only need to play your finger to direct the character to win the match. The tracks available in this Nintendo game are also fairly diverse and have different themes and levels of difficulty. However, for some people who are unfamiliar with racing games, they will find it difficult to control the character, especially when turning.

There are four control methods that you can use. Namely Manual Drift, Smart Steering, Auto-Item, and Gyro Handling. So you can customize which control method suits your racing style. Unfortunately for the manual method, Mario Kart Tour game controls still feel stiff to move. It may take a while for practice to get used to moving the character, especially around corners.

In addition to the control method, there are four modes or levels that you can choose from. Starting from 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, up to 200cc. Maybe this mode is the same as the term easy, medium, hard, and so on. However, to unlock the 200cc level, you have to pay $4.99 or equivalent to Rp. 90,000. It’s quite expensive just to unlock a game level.

Mario Kart Pros:

• Simple gameplay suitable for all ages to play.
• There are many playable characters.
• Many choices of tracks with different themes.

Disadvantages of Mario Kart:

• Graphics feel normal for Nintendo class.
• Can only login using Nintendo account, no other option.
• Too many features and items to buy with money.
• For the newbie, the controls still feel stiff to play.
