How to Give Gifts in Mario Kart Tour

How to Give Gifts in Mario Kart Tour

Unfortunately for the generous among us, there is no way to send other players gifts in Mario Kart Tour. That misleading icon is instead a way for Nintendo to send rewards and other items — gifts, if you will — to players themselves.

This system is often used to compensate players after some in-game calamity like server troubles. Mario Kart Tour launched with that exact kind of server load problem, so players may even receive a compensatory gift in the near future.

But they won't be able to share that gift with their friends.
