|''Mario Kart Tour'' was released on mobile devices in 2019. The game's courses are divided into "tours" which change every second Wednesday. At the start of each tour, the obtainable drivers, karts, and gliders, the challenges and rewards, and the selection of playable courses and cups are switched out. The majority of the [[new course]]s are based on real cities (namely [[New York City]], [[Tokyo]], [[Paris]], [[London]], [[Vancouver]], [[Tour Los Angeles Laps|Los Angeles]], [[Berlin]], [[Sydney]], [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore]], [[Amsterdam]], [[List of implied locations#Thailand|Bangkok]], [[Athens]], [[Rome]], and [[Madrid]]). There are also [[Remix course|RMX]] ("remix") courses that use assets from SNES courses but arranged in a new layout. Additionally, the game adds new variants of existing courses (reverse, trick, and reverse/trick variants), a new feature known as "[[Frenzy|Frenzies]]" which are activated when a character receives three of the same item at once and allows the character to use that item continually for a limited time while also becoming invincible, and a score mechanic, where the player earns points for actions such as performing techniques (e.g. [[Mini-Turbo]]s, [[Jump Boost]]s, etc.), interacting with course elements (e.g. driving over a [[Dash Panel]]), or hitting opponents with items. ''Mario Kart Tour'' is free to play, but has in-app purchases available including a 1-month Gold Pass subscription and [[Ruby|rubies]], the game's premium currency, which can be spent on certain items. New playable characters to the series introduced in this game include [[Pauline]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Monty Mole]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Captain Toad]], [[Nabbit]], [[King Bob-omb]], [[Kamek]], [[Chargin' Chuck]], and [[Poochy]]; as well as many variants and power-up forms of existing playable characters, such as Mario (Musician) and [[Peachette]]; [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Birdo]], [[Petey Piranha]], and [[Funky Kong]] also return after having been absent from multiple successive installments after debuting.
