Mario Kart Tour

Let's get the bad news out of the way first: although it's free to download, Mario Kart Tour isn't really free, laden with loot boxes and $5 monthly subscriptions for hardcore fans. That said, it does bring an authentic Mario Kart experience to phones and tablets. All the expected characters are here, racing around courses inspired by real-world cities, as well as classic courses from previous installments. The game controls have been simplified to swipes and taps, and the courses have likewise been toned down, but for those looking to play Mario Kart on the go without carrying around a separate device, it's well worth the download.
