Nintendo is apparently shutting down Mario Kart Tour on the 29th of September, after about 8 years of service.

They also say that they will NOT produce an offline version

Pay your respects here.

Some information from Nintendo:
"Service for the Mario Kart Tour game for smart devices will come to an end as of 11:00 p.m. Pacific on September 29.

We sincerely thank the many players who have loved and supported the game since service began so long ago.

Thank you for playing Mario Kart Tour."

"An offline version is not scheduled for release."

BabyMario_REAL It's a metaphor for how you 13 so your still technically a child. I mean, I'm 13 and I don't consider myself a teen, I still have a looooong way to go.

coolmonkey the controls were horrible, you had to pay for 200cc and there would only be half a handful of tracks to play every week instead of an organized track roster

BlueKirby24 Well yeah, but, it is getting to be quite old of a game at this point. All the online stuff probably does take work and money to manage too, and they might want to use those for other projects, like all the Switch 2 games in development recently.

-Natsuki- This game was honestly one of my least favorite Mario Karts, so I’m not that sad about this. But it did spark a huge popularity increase in the Mario Kart series. Goodbye Mario Kart Tour👋

Froppyleni If you're upset about Mario Kart Tour shutting down, you can't blame Nintendo. Just because an offline version of a mobile game like Mario Kart Tour is not scheduled for release doesn't mean you have to be upset about Piranha plant pipeline being gone forever. Well, Thank God I have actually uninstalled Mario Kart Tour.

Froppyleni And that goes to show you that suicide is never an option. But playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete on your phone would be an option. Or the second option, playing for Mario Kart World on your Nintendo Switch 2. That's all. Nothing else. Just giving you something to think about.

ty1eerrrrr im really grateful for what tour gave us
im a sucker for super circuit and seeing some tracks like yoshi desert, lakeside and riverside park finally get remade for the 1st time was nice to see
the cities were definitely the highlight, i know most people didn't like them but i loved the idea of driving through different cities and their landmarks. hell, if it werent for mktour i wouldnt be going to madrid for my 18th
the hype from the bcp wouldn't have even happened if it weren't for tour, im glad we got some way to preserve the game even if all the tracks + variants didn't make it through
its a shame pipeline never got brought to the bcp cause I would've loved to see the track get remade (maybe mkworld can bring it back for dlc??)
all i can really say is thank you to mario kart tour and that i hope its legacy can remain a staple within the mario kart timeline

Kinsley_ I don't think Piranha Plant Pipeline will be gone forever because Nintendo can bring it back through DLC in Mario Kart World, or a future Mario Kart game. The DLC in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also had a lot of tracks from Mario Kart Tour because they want to keep the tracks from that game around. Also, I never played the game because I'm allergic to pay-to-win games, which are reasons that I usually avoid mobile games.
