Mario Kart Tour APK (Latest Version)

The description of Mario Kart Tour APK (Latest Version)

Mario Kart Tour APK is Nintendo's mobile kart racer, and this page hosts the official Android client, scanned for malware and installed on a real device by our editors before publishing, we have done this since 2018. One thing to know up front: this is an online-only game tied to a Nintendo Account, and Nintendo is closing the service on 29 September 2026. After that date the game stops working, so download it understanding that the clock is running.

What is Mario Kart Tour?

Mario Kart Tour is a free-to-play kart racer from Nintendo Co., Ltd., built around the characters of the Mario world. You steer with one hand, the phone held upright, drifting through courses inspired by real cities and classic Mario Kart tracks. Races reward you with points, and you build a lineup of drivers, karts and gliders that each give bonuses on certain courses.

Clearing cups opens new content, and you level up your favorite characters to score higher. It is free to start, with rubies and the in-game shop handled as in-app purchases. The game passed 50 million downloads on Android, runs about 157 MB, and needs Android 5.1 or newer.

Is there a Mario Kart Tour MOD?

No, and this is the honest part most download sites leave out. Your coins, rubies, drivers and race progress do not live on your phone. They sit on Nintendo's servers, checked every time you play, so a file on your device cannot rewrite them. That is why every "unlimited rubies" MOD and every ruby generator you see is fake: the numbers you want to change are not stored where a mod could reach them.

Running a modified client does one real thing, and it is not in your favor. Nintendo can detect a tampered client, and using one breaks the Nintendo Account terms. The result is a blocked account, with no offline mode to fall back on. The file on this page is the official client, not a modified build, so there is nothing here to put your account at risk.

Online only, and the service is ending

Mario Kart Tour needs a live internet connection and a Nintendo Account every time you play. There is no offline mode, and no local save you can keep once the servers go dark. Two dates matter here.

Nintendo stopped adding new content after October 2023, when the Battle Tour was the last new season. The whole service then shuts down on 29 September 2026. After that day the game will not load, official file or not. If you install it now, treat it as a game with a known end date rather than a long-term download.

How to download and install the Mario Kart Tour APK

1. Tap the green Download APK button at the top of this page. The file downloads directly, no registration or SMS.
2. Allow installation from unknown sources for your browser or file manager (Settings → Security).
3. If an older or conflicting version is already installed, remove it first so the new file installs cleanly.
4. Open the file, tap Install, then sign in to your Nintendo Account to start playing online.

The download is about 157 MB and needs Android 5.1 or newer. New to sideloading? Our APK install guide walks through it with screenshots.

Tips for new players

• Chain drifts and tricks. Points come from clean drifting and jump tricks, not just crossing the line first.
• Match drivers to the course. Each driver, kart and glider has favored courses that boost your score, so keep a small pool and swap for each cup.
• Level up a few favorites. Upgrading the characters you use most does more than spreading resources thin across the whole roster.
• Play it straight. Third-party clients and ruby generators do not work and only risk your account, so stick to the official app.

The file here is the official client, so it supports Nintendo while the game is still live, and you can also get it from the game's official Google Play listing. When the servers close, a kart racer you fully own is worth having: try Beach Buggy Racing MOD, an offline kart racer with power-ups, or browse more racing games in the catalog.
