Counting each Mii Racing Suit separately, there are {{MKT drivers}}<!-- If the number is outdated, update the template instead of changing it here --> playable characters in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the largest number of playable characters in a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game. Notable new playable characters to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|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.]] 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 [[Koopa Paratroopa]] from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and [[Honey Queen]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

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 Cannon|pipe]] launch which grants Peachette, [[Metal Mario]], or [[Dry Bowser]].<ref>Hydra. (March 8, 2022).

[[Gold Mario]] is the only playable character in [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|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 [[coin]]s to himself, with this having a larger radius in Coin Rush than otherwise.
