Trouble is brewing in the Mushroom Kingdom as two of its biggest icons are set to face off in a limited-time event. Mario Kart Tour has players choose a side, between the playful hero and the elegant royal. Then again no matter which side is chosen, Mario vs. Peach Tour is sure to be a fun race for everyone.
The tour itself actually started last week though there’s still time to enjoy it and grab some goodies until August 10.
This new event follows a team rally format where the team that gets the most by the end wins. Winning or not, as long as players can finish races, they can add to the total tally of their team.
During races, the track will have Team Tokens instead of coins. Players need to grab these Team Tokens to the Team Points. To boost the tally, be sure to use the drivers assigned to the team.
In addition, all those who join the event immediately get a special badge, rubies, and coins. For those who reach the top, the rewards are larger. Players can also earn a coin bonus based on the number of points obtained in total by both teams.
