'''''Mario Kart Tour''''' is a mobile game in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Unlike ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', it is free-to-play from the App Store and Google Play. The game reuses many assets from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', though its art style is more simple and cartoony. Gameplay mechanics such as gliding, [[underwater driving]], and character-specific [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special items]] return from past entries. In addition, the game introduces some features new to the ''Mario Kart'' franchise, such as reverse courses, trick courses, a combo system that grants points based on actions, and the [[Frenzy]] mechanic, which allows racers with three item slots to deploy a large amount of any item during a race, including [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s and [[Bullet Bill]]s, at random should said item be in all three slots. | '''''Mario Kart Tour''''' is a mobile game in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].
