A tip you learn after about 4 or 5 races is, similar to playing Mario Kart on other Nintendo devices, once the counter gets to two you can hold your finger on the screen, then release it just before the counter reaches zero and you’ll get a speed boost. I have a brand new iPhone 11 so the graphics look crisp and the music gives me those Nintendo nostalgia feels. After finishing the call I switched back to the app and resumed racing.
I realised these are not real players you’re racing, rather just their avatars, as I had a call come through halfway through a race. When you confirm your selections, you are placed into a lobby while the game assigns 7 other players to your game, then it loads you onto the track. Tier 1 gives combo bonus x3 and big combo-time boost, tier 2 gives combo bonus x2 and combo-time boost and tier 3 just gets combo bonus x1. Finally, my choice of kite was limited to Toadette’s default which was a tier 2 kite. When choosing a kart, the top tier gives bonus points x2, second tier gives bonus x1.5 and third tier where my kart is gets x1 bonus points. The top character tier gets three items per Item Box found in races, the second tier gets two items and third tier where Toadette is, gets one item per item box. What you can see here are three tiers per selection. At first you are limited to the character you spun out of the loot pipe and a basic kart and kite. After selecting the track, you then need to select the character to race with, the kart and the kite. Next you are shown the first group of races, the New York Tour – Mario Cup. I chose simple but you can change this later in the game’s settings. Simple means you simply slide your finger left or right to steer, and drift mode means you will drift when you slide your finger left or right.
Next you get to choose a control method from simple or drift mode. This gives you three mushrooms to use in one go for a long-lasting boost. Mine was Toadette and a tooltip informed me she has a special ability called Triple Mushrooms. Once in, you are prompted to open a loot pipe to claim your first driver character. After downloading the game from the App store (or Android), you will need to link your Nintendo account, or create a new one, before being able to play.
