Mario Kart Tour: A guide to everything added in Valentine’s Tour
New content includes Cherub Baby Peach, Pink Shy Guy and more
Mario Kart Tour’s Valentine’s Tour has gone live, adding several new characters, karts and gliders.
The two-week event runs until January 29 and is themed around the game’s Paris track, which was added last year.
Valentine’s Tour’s spotlight items are Baby Peach (Cherub), Apple Kart and Sweetheart Glider.
The event also adds Pink Shy Guy, who is available either in The Pipe or as part of a $19.99 / £19.99 Rubies pack.
Standard tour gifts include Baby Peach, Birthday Girl kart and Piranha Plant Parafoil, while Gold Pass subscribers can unlock Wendy, the Macharon kart and Strawberry Crepe glider.
The Valentine’s Tour also sees the end of the second Mario Kart Tour multiplayer test, which was the first to be expanded to all players and not limited to Gold Pass subscribers.
A VGC feature recently highlighted Mario Kart Tour features that Nintendo would do well to adopt for Mario Kart 9, including the mobile game’s combo system and track variants.
