No further details about the game have been released but the announcement is enough to raise excitement and interest for the next year.
The first Mario Kart game, Super Mario Kart, was released in 1992 on the Super Nintendo system. Since then there have been 13 different versions of the game, the newest of which was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that came out on the Switch last year.

Nintendo found success in their latest mobile launch Super Mario Run which brought the plumber hero to our phones in a game suited perfectly for our smartphones. Hopefully, Mario Kart Tour will be equally fun and exciting.
