Counting each Mii Racing Suit separately, there are currently playable characters ( if including Gold Mario, who appears exclusively in the Coin Rush mode) in Mario Kart Tour, the largest number of playable characters in a 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 King Bob-omb also making his overall playable debut. Some characters return as playable to the series after being absent from multiple installments: Donkey Kong Jr. 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 (though Birdo was later added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe).

Miis also return from previous Mario Kart games, debuting in the. Like in Mario Kart 8, they have a multitude of different racing suits they can wear; however, each suit now has its own special item. There are currently 46 suits, with at least one new suit being added in every tour since the Mii 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.

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 amount 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.

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