Counting each character variant and Mii Racing Suit separately, there are 267 playable characters in Mario Kart Tour, the largest number of playable characters in a Super Mario game. Notable new playable characters to the Mario Kart series include Peachette, Pauline, Hammer Bro, Boomerang Bro, Fire Bro, Ice Bro, Monty Mole, Dixie Kong, Captain Toad, Nabbit, King Bob-omb, Kamek, Chargin' Chuck, and Poochy, with Ice Bro and King Bob-omb also making their first appearances overall as playable characters. Some characters return as playable to the series after being absent from multiple installments: Donkey Kong Jr. (as an SNES variant) is playable for the first time since Super Mario Kart, Petey Piranha is playable for the first time since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Diddy Kong, Birdo, and Funky Kong are playable for the first time since Mario Kart Wii. Excluding characters not from the Super Mario franchise, only two playable characters from previous mainline Mario Kart games do not return in Mario Kart Tour, namely Paratroopa from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Honey Queen from Mario Kart 7.

Miis also return from previous Mario Kart games, debuting in the 2022 Mii Tour. Like in Mario Kart 8, they have a multitude of different racing suits they can wear; however, each suit now has its own special skill. There are 65 suits, with at least one new suit being added in each tour from the 2022 Mii Tour until the 2023 Anniversary Tour.

Upon launching the game for the first time, players will be given either Toad or Toadette. After the tutorial, they are granted a free pipe launch which grants Peachette, Metal Mario, or Dry Bowser. The Red Mii Racing Suit is also given as a free gift for players. Gold Mario is the only playable character in Coin Rush mode, which was the only mode in which he was playable until the 2023 Anniversary Tour; he has the unique ability to draw in nearby coins to himself, with this having a larger radius in Coin Rush than otherwise.

In July of 2025, a rerun of Sunshine Tour took place and added two new drivers, Mario (Mechanic) and Luigi (Mechanic), as part of an event celebrating the release of Mario Kart World.

Unlike in other Mario Kart games, characters are sorted by the rarity of unlocking them. There are three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. While the Normal characters are easier to unlock, rarer characters have a greater number of starting points and have more favored and favorite courses.

The only differences between drivers in the main statistics affect acceleration and weight, and depend on the driver's size class.

Driver's size class	Small	Medium	Large
Acceleration	17	10	3
Weight	6	10	14

The chance of obtaining a Frenzy is increased by the driver chosen, depending on their level and rarity.

	Skill level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
	Normal	0%	2%	2%	4%	4%	6%	6%	8%
	Super	1%	3%	3%	5%	5%	8%	8%	10%
	High-End	2%	4%	4%	7%	7%	10%	10%	12%

Drivers

The following table is listed by default in the same order as Mario Kart Tour's driver selection screen.

• Sorting the table by Character will list every driver alphabetically, grouping each driver and their variants together (i.e, Black Yoshi and White Yoshi are both sorted under "Y"). The base driver will be listed first, and their variants will be listed in the same order as Mario Kart Tour's driver selection screen.
• Sorting the table by Name will list every driver purely alphabetically (i.e, Black Yoshi is sorted under "B" and White Yoshi is sorted under "W"). The base driver gets no special priority.
