Did you have an intense Mario vs. Luigi Tour with Mario Kart Tour recently? Well you are able to race in a land of festive holiday cheer!
Nintendo officially released the mobile game’s next Winter Tour event and this time the Tour will introduce the all-new “Merry Mountain” course – a snowy landscape with Christmas decorations all around.
First exclusive track
Mario Kart Tour featured a variety of tracks from previous games in the Mario Kart franchise. We’ve seen tracks from throughout the history of the storied Mario Kart franchise, from Super Mario Kart on the SNES, all the way to Mario Kart 7 on the Nintendo 3DS.
If it wasn’t a track from a previous game though, Mario Kart Tour’s other tracks were all based on real-world locations. There’s the London Loop or the Paris Promenade, all based on cities dotted around the world, so players could race through iconic locations.
About Merry Mountain
Merry Mountain marks a big departure for Mario Kart Tour. It’s been well over six years since Mario Kart 8 first launched in 2014 on the Wii U, and it’s been well over three years since the game was re-released for the Nintendo Switch as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 2017.
There’s speculation that Mario Kart Tour could be used to tease the future of the Mario Kart series, in which case original tracks like Merry Mountain might give us clues as to what to expect from the next release in Nintendo’s long-running racing series.
