The Mario franchise is the best selling video game franchise of all time which explains its popularity and number of downloads. The app allows you to play Mario Kart anywhere and everywhere because of easy access on the iPhone. Mario Kart Tour has a lot to offer. You can race around courses inspired by real-world cities and some of your favorite Mario Kart character incorporate the local style of these cities. In addition to classic Mario Kart courses, these destinations will be featured in tours that rotate every two weeks. You also have access to a variety of weapons used when racing that can mix things up on the race track, including a Frenzy mode, which gives you an unlimited supply of an item. Collect drivers, karts, badges and gliders and race to increase your high scores, which determines your online rank. Drive different combinations of drivers, karts and gliders to increase your score and rise to the top. Purchase Rubies which allow you to get different items you want in the game, as well as Passes, which are a monthly based subscription that allows you to get even more rewards. The short Italian plumber and a race car is a perfect combination for a successful video game and we are not only talking mobile. Mario Kart Wii is the second best selling game for the Wii Console behind Wii Sports.
