Mario Kart Tour finally works in landscape mode

Mario Kart Tour is finally getting widescreen support nearly a year after its initial launch. The option to flip your phone into landscape mode was a key feature missing when the Mario Kart series’ mobile iteration came out last year.

Released in September 2019, Mario Kart Tour brought the popular go-kart racing series to smartphones. Unlike previous installments, the game’s controls are simplified you do not need to press any button to accelerate your character, you can just tap on your screen to use items, and you can slide your finger left or right or tilt your phone to steer.

We’ve found Mario Kart Tour to work surprisingly well. Its simplicity makes it an approachable racer for the masses. The tracks are gorgeous, and you still get to hit people with green shells. The biggest drawback is that it’s a “free-to-start” title, which adds the complexity of different currencies, stores and experience point systems. We’ll see if Nintendo has any more updates up its sleeve.
