Could you imagine that the Nintendo (CPU) needs to cheat in an app game? OH EM GEE! The rigging is so bad that sometimes the game rigs it for me to beat the cpu.

8.5 out of 10 races where you are winning or on the last stretch of the race you will get a blue shell and/or shocked by (Zeus aka) lightening. The CPU rarely to never gets hit by blue shells; especially when they're in OP mode.

OP mode? Yes. Overpowered mode. That's when the CPU will speed up ahead. Miles ahead. Where It's impossible to catch up due to getting unhelpful items, to sometimes getting hit like 3-4 times in a row. Sometimes I as the user can get OP mode where the CPU is non-existent. For example, I always dominate on DK Summit and Rainbow Road tracks to where I get no items that hit me at all and I would win by miles.

I feel most races are predetermined to where they already have the place you will finish at. Just today I was going to finish 4th. Then out of nowhere. Literally out of nowhere some black item hit me from in front and I ended up finishing 7th. It wasn't a bomb. And no one else was directly in front of me.

Speaking of items. Oh gosh. Getting coins can mean if you are leading in 1st place and you get a coin or 2 you could end up losing that race to finishing 8th. This one time on Bowser Jr's ship during the last stretch of the race it was an intense one. I was Roy who only had 2 item slots. Each driver was really close and I was winning. Once I crossed the last item blocks I said to myself "don't give me coins". Guess what? I got 2 coins and finished 6th because I got smacked by an item.

The game is rigged.

Just recently on the Ghost track at the finish line I was 2nd and I had a red shell and hit 1st place driver and I was literally about to cross and win. Oh no. Nintendo had other plans. Out of nowhere I was hit by a frenzy driver, then a red shell then I finished 7th. YES! Right at the finish line about to finish 1st I finished 7th place. I was devastated. The younger me would have smashed my phone because of that but I didn't.

The there is that air blower obstacle that pushes you in the air. I can't tell you how many times that thing has cost me races. I would jump normally on it and sometimes it can make you go off track for no apparent cause.

Lastly, driving. The driving is okay for an app game. It's that some turns on 150cc or 200cc are impossible to make without going off road. When you are off road trying to get back on the road it can be a struggle. The driving has a mind of its own because let's say you are pointed at driving on a ramp/boost or trying to get coins the driving will have you purposely avoid it. Sometimes I go "How did I miss that?" There are a lot more events that occurred that tells me that Mario Kart Tour is rigged, that your final race finish is predetermined and that the game is annoying. I don't remember Mario Kart Wii being so damn annoying. Mario Kart Tour is well...Annoying. It's not hard. It's just annoying.

The graphics are fine for an app game. The overall game is fine. It's a Pay to win type of game (Which game isn't?). They Gliders are nice. As for the Karts... "it's so bad" like that Nintendo power glove. (Haha! The Wizard Reference). Yeah some Karts are very cool and drive really fun. The game basically has clones of characters. Overall, there is probably 12-15 however in total there are 124 but it's filled with clones. Nintendo has a hashload of characters but they reside on using a tremendous amount of clones.

Last Words: Lastly, (final lastly) this game encourages gambling with its pipes, coins, rubies and use of real money. It's not that different from a casino. So you must play responsibly.

I like how the courses change after a couple weeks to keep things fresh. Overall, a fun game if you can tolerate its annoyingness, the rigged system and the encouragement of gambling.

Least Favorite Mario Kart
BustedBlock26 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I was so excited to play this game when I first found out about it, but than once I played it a couple times I quickly got rid of it. The main problem that I have with this game is that it is way to easy, like how the game won't let you fall off edges/off road, this makes the game incredibly boring imo. The way you unlock characters is also really annoying, since you are likely to keep getting the same characters out of the pipe that you already had, also I didn't like how there were so many clones of the same characters. Than we also have the fact that the steering and drifting feels really weird.
