Mario Kart Tour is shutting down!?

Nintendo just announced that Mario Kart Tour services are shutting down. Shutdown is on 9/8/2026

No offense but was MK tour good? I've never played the game

Looksvery good with 3D graphics and runs very well

I was actually playing MKTour a couple weeks ago. (Got really bored) and I realized that the game would go great in arcades. Think about it, the main goal of the game is to get the highest score on a track. The two laps make it shorter and brief for arcades, along with having controls similar to the other arcade mario kart. The aspect ratio (in portrait mode) is could be put on an arcade machine. That’s a cool idea that I had. Anyways I’m gonna miss it, but not that much (it was good for like 2 months and then got boring.)

I recently got back into the game and dim sad that it's shutting down Plus NO Offline version 😔

Tbh dont care tour was straight up ass

Rip Piranha Plant Pipeline tho

Piranha Plant Pipeline better show up in the future or I will genuinely burn Nintendo headquarters to the GROUND

Aww

I hate to say it but I'm glad it's shutting down like theres hardly anything new its just the same old stuff we kept getting over and over and OVER!

Plus R.I.P Piranha Pipeline
I know we can play the track as a custom track but I wish it was official. LIKE COME ON NINTENDO YOU HAD ONE JOB TO PUT THIS IN WAVE 6 BUT NOO YOU FUCKING GAVES UP DASIY FUCKIT INSTEAD! >

They better bring it back in world dlc or smth otherwise what the f#ck is Nintendo doing



(Going off your edit)

Honestly rosas ice world shouldve died in place of it imo, like who wanted f#cking rosalinas ice world for gods sake?

Tour was alright. Not the best, but i'd say better than Super Mario Kart. It would have been better if you could actually control drifting and tricking. I think it would be good for a 5 dollar game on the Eshop or in arcades like someone else said. I do have a theory that this means MK World is getting DLC. If Tour shuts down, Piranha Plant Pipline becomes lost media, unlike every other Mariokart Track which there is a permanent way to play. I think they are shutting down tour now because they are preparing to launch DLC for Mario Kart World which will include retro and maybe new tracks, with Piranha Plant Pipeline being one of them.

On the bright side all items in shop that require rubies are permanently 30% off

(arguing about wave 6 2 years afterwards)



seriously tho tour kinda sucked so I don't care

R.i.p MKT

no

why

offline version of it? that's so bad I remeber playing it in 2020 for the first time in years

This was a sad day for me. I am weird, i know, but i loved mk tour so much and I am also kinda angry that nintendo first, wont even let us play offline on the normal tour rotation system, and secondly, that, unless it comes to mk world before the end of September (this wont happen), Piranha Plant Pipeline will be gone forever... we are having our final weeks with this track right now, before it is gone forever (or at least until it gets added to a new game)

Tour brought me back into the mario kart scene when I found out about it in October 2024 (well and kinda playing mk8dx again) and I am sad to see it go.

Enshittification of Nintendo

I never even played Mario kart tour before but I heard it was a good game.

I am sorry that Mario kart tour services are now shutting down for good. Is it all because of Mario Kart World? The most popular Mario kart series of all time? 😫😫😫RIP
