Mario Kart Tour Tier List
By Samuel Basel
A Mario Kart Tour tier list is important because today marks a major moment in the history of mobile gaming, as Nintendo's flagship racing series hits both the Apple and Android App Stores. It features classic and returning characters, along with 13 classic tracks from Mario Kart's past.
To unlock new drivers, players can either purchase the daily driver available using coins, or spend rubies for a chance at unlocking a random character via the Pipe. Here is a ranking of the best characters to look out for when expanding your Mario Kart Tour roster, as well as their special abilities:
