List of drivers in Mario Kart Tour


 * For the lists that cover all of the karts, gliders, and tires in the game, see List of karts, gliders, and tires in Mario Kart Tour.

There are currently 121 playable characters (122 if including Gold Mario, who appears exclusively in the Coin Rush mode) in Mario Kart Tour, the largest amount of playable characters in a Mario game. Notable new playable characters in the series include Peachette, Pauline, Hammer Bro, Boomerang Bro, Fire Bro, Ice Bro, Monty Mole, Dixie Kong, Captain Toad, Nabbit, and King Bob-omb. Upon launching the game for the first time, players start with either Toad, Toadette, or Peachette. After the tutorial they are given a free pipe launch which grants either Peach, Bowser, Metal Mario, or Dry Bowser.

Unlike other Mario Kart games, characters are sorted by their rarity of unlocking them, via opening up randomized green or gold pipes with rubies. There are three tiers of rarity: Normal, Super, and High-End. While the Normal characters are easier to unlock, rarer characters have a greater amount of starting points and have more favored and favorite courses.

So far, the only changes in the main statistics that were found affect acceleration and weight, and depend on the kart size.

The chance of obtaining a frenzy depends on the driver's level and rarity.
