Yet Another Top Ten Kart Designs In Mario Kart Tour

Happy New Year, fellow gamers [41] [48] [82]! There are quite a lot of new interactive experiences to delve into throughout 2024, including Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, the highly anticipated remake of Lollipop Chainsaw that was going to retell Juliet Starling’s eighteenth birthday last year but got delayed to some point this year [28] [80] [81] [82], along with the seventh season of Totally Spies [67]. Surely, those who are still racing in Mario Kart Tour are quite hyped for familiar tours in the new year of the dragon [11] [47] [83] [84]. Okay! A reference to Spyro: The Year of the Dragon was intended this time [54]! There have been some zany outfits worn by the characters, including Luigi in his vacation outfit, Donkey Long as a gladiator, Pauline in her cowgirl attire and Waluigi as a vampire and new bizarrely imaginative High-End kart designs throughout the tours, such as the Hot Pod Hot Rod, the Chain Chomp Chariot, and the Combo Cruiser [58]. For the third time, I shall make a list of kart designs from Mario Kart Tour that I consider some of my favourites. The listing might come off as a little more critical, compared to the previous lists [75] [78]. Nevertheless, I still admire the artistic value and creativity put into many of these karts with an open mind, as well as seasonal costumes for characters and this is quite a bummer that there will not any new ones throughout 2024 [24] [27].

It may be also quite sad that Kim Kardashian Hollywood is no longer available in app stores and will no longer be accessible this April after nearly as decade of teaching that Willow Pape a lesson [4] [17] [22], but at least Mario Kart Tour can still provide chances for a Nintendo nerd to get a previously available High-End kart, glider, or driver in new tours [37]. You can tell that old content is being reused by compared this year’s New Year’s your trailer with last year’s [40] [41] [75]. Once again, this Top Ten list is all based on my opinions [75] [78]. But before we begin, please do not let a fanfare play over and over to the point where it will ring in my head when I go to bed, even if you are an expert at Age of Empires 2 [44]. [41]

 
10. Blazing Eagle
Our first entry is all fired up. Okay! That was another reference to Spyro the Dragon intended but in the Skylanders series [71] [72] [73]! The fiery counterpart of the Swift Talon looks like a fire-type Pokémon [58] [61]. I should know because I recall Moltres striking a pose in Pokémon Snap [38]. The Black Penguin Slider, the first entry on the first list may be considered cuter [78], quite like the brand new plushies based on Stolas from Helluva Boss that are currently available to pre-order [19] [20], but at least the Blazing Eagle has eyes that make it look determined, not possessed [58] [61] [78]. I could hope for a green equivalent if new content was still being added after October 2023 [24] [27] [55], but that would remind those who are not too keen on the Sonic Riders series too much of Jet the Hawk [51] [52]. As a vague reminder of Rev Runner, the descendant of Road Runner from Loonatics Unleashed [12], the Blazing Eagle that debuted in the 2022 Autumn Tour alongside the Swift Talon and the Gold Eagle would be sure to turn up the heat once you compete [58] [61]. 

[58]

9. Desert Rose Wagon
Our second entry is the rather feminine counterpart of the Yeehaw Wagon that debuted in the Pipe Tour back in July and was declared the signature kart for Pauline in her cowgirl outfit [57]. Resembling a Conestoga wagon, this kart could be a signature transport for Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic [14], Clara Clayton from Back To The Future Part III or a party member from The Oregon Trail [5] [42]. As you may recall from the Number 1 spot on my first list [78], I adore roses and the rose attached to the front of the wagon and its rose-patterned bandana says it all [57]. The bonnet is pretty cute in an easing tint of saffron with a simple white polka-dot pattern. There is also an orange gingham pattern for its back cover that is great for a Western theme that is a lot more wholesome than the Wrath Ring of Hell in Helluva Boss [31] [32]. With some feminine flair and a rustic Wild West vibe, the Desert Rose Wagon has bloomed in the Number 9 spot on the list [57].

[58]

8. Monarch Kart
This regal kart that shone in the 2023 Anniversary Tour would be fit for a king like Conker the Squirrel or King Dedede besides King Mario [23] [35] [55]. Did it cost 1,200,000 bells to manufacture...or a little more than that [2] [35]? Its golden counterpart simply known as the “Gold Monarch Kart” debuted alongside it but looking at all the gold equivalents of High-End karts [58] [61], I am starting to suspect that Golden Queen from Skylanders: Trap Team is secretly involved in the manufacturing [73]. Let us not give Wario any ideas outside of the tours though [79]. If new content was being added to the game [24] [27], there could be a deep green and silver equivalent of the Monarch Kart for King Luigi in the next anniversary tour or a rose gold counterpart for Pink Gold Peach…or should I say “a pink gold counterpart” for her if she were to flaunt a splendid new pink gold outfit in the next Princess Tour [58] [60] [61]?

[58]

7. Strawberry Soft Swerve / Chocolate Mint Soft Swerve
These two are sure to satisfy the sweet teeth of the Nintendo nerds who have either in their selection and are considered the signature karts for Penguin Luigi and Penguin Toadette [56] [65]. The Strawberry Soft Swerve, which was previously mentioned in my first list debuted in the 2022 Sundae Tour and the Chocolate Mint Swerve debuted along with its golden counterpart, the Melon & Banana Balloons, and the Spooky Sprinkle Balloons in the 2023 Sundae Tour [56] [60] [61] [65]. Again, I wonder if the Golden Queen is responsible for all the gold counterparts of these High-End karts [73]. I can still picture Tiffi from the Candy Crush franchise steering the Strawberry Soft Swerve while her sister Kimmy competes in the Chocolate Mint Swerve [25] [26]. Anyone up for some strawberry and mint chip ice cream after this list? But again, do not consume too much before the next race as I still stand by not wanting my fellow racers to get kartsick [75].

[58]

[58]

6. Spicy Zucchini
See? I am not totally biased with floral designs as I understand that not everything has to look like something from Barbie Land [6]! The kart on the Number 6 spot is the fiery Zucchini from the 2023 Summer Tour that would be a Fire Bro’s ideal kart [58] [61]. The flames on a stylish shade of red reminds me of one of the alternate armours in the 2016 version of Ratchet & Clank [53]. Speaking of red alternate attire, the character I would be thrilled to race in the Spicy Zucchini would be Fire Rosalina as the opposite of Ice Mario in the Catc-Ice, the Ice Dozer, or the Frost Wing [58]. If you have the Spicy Zucchini in your selection during the 2023 Summer Tour [61], then it would be sure to spice up your determination to win a race. Not that any chilli peppers from Taz: Wanted would be needed [21].

[58]

5. Sakura Sports Coupe
I just love sakura imagery, which is why the Sakura Sports Coupe has made it to the Number 5 spot [58]. However, the thing that faintly hinders the overall design for me would be the bright yellow seat. Nonetheless, the Sakura Sports Coupe is beautiful, looking quite like a vehicle from Barbie Land and the seat would be a lot less noticeable if you race in it, especially as a big character like Bowser or Donkey Kong [6] [37]. In addition to the lighter note, the seat at least makes the Wild Pink’s tyres go well with the overall design [58]. The Sakura Sports Coupe would be especially fit for Peach in her happi, kimono or yukata and it also could be the ideal kart for Sakura Miku [18] [45] [58]. What could be next if new content was still being added after the fourth anniversary [24] [27] [55]? A lovely Sakura Parasol as the next most gorgeous glider? I would have been ecstatic to see that, along with a pink equivalent of the Rose Taxi [78]!

[58]

4. Gold Cupid’s Arrow / Silver Cupid’s Arrow
Look how beautiful these variants of Cupid’s Arrow from the Princess Tour are [58] [61]! I cannot believe that one of my predictions from the previous list came true, but not in a Valentine’s Tour [61] [75]! The fronts of the karts look just like the gems of a necklace or in the Silver Cupid Arrow’s case, Princess Catherine’s engagement ring [67], but in a tint of sky blue and the shape of a heart. The Wonderful Diamond from the 2023 Exploration Tour would go so well with Gold Cupid’s arrow and the Glittering Glider is a fitting alternative that also debuted in the Princess Tour alongside it [60]. I would be lovestruck at a rose gold (or pink gold in Pink Gold Peach’s case) equivalent of Cupid’s Arrow with a ruby or emerald, along with an aquamarine counterpart of the Wonderful Garnet if there will be another Valentine’s Day Tour next month or another Princess Tour this Spring…if there was still motivation to feature new content after the fourth anniversary [24] [27] [61].

[58]

[58]

3. Rainbow Taxi
As another equivalent of the Yellow Taxi, the Rainbow Taxi is simple yet splendid with rainbow accents [64], but it is not quite as eye-catching as the Rose Taxi [78]. There is also the Platinum Taxi that is about as purely coloured as the White Royale but it could do without the “2020” sign [13] [63]. It debuted in the 2023 Space Tour and has the Party-Wing’s tyres to boost its multi-coloured flair [64]. Coincidently enough, the impressively colourful Party-Wing was Number 4 on the first list [78]. Just imagine driving on Rainbow Road in a Rainbow Taxi. Double rainbow all the way [49]! Or in the case of using the Tropical Balloons from the 2022 Ocean Tour or the Rainbow Flappy Wings from the 2023 Night Tour to glide [60], TRIPLE RAINBOW!!! As the signature kart for Mario in his astronaut suit, the Rainbow Taxi is sure to bring some colour into your determination, starting with the Rocket Start Plus [64].

[58]

2. Happy Ride
As much as I adore the White Royale for being an elegant kart for a royal racer who favoured the Royale from Mario Kart DS back in its day [36], I cannot deny that this joy ride is ideal for a wedding, even though it also looks like an aspect of the arranged wedding between Bowser and Princess Peach in Super Mario Odyssey that was also climatically established in The Super Mario Bros. Movie [39] [68]. Introduced in the Peach Tour, it is the pearly white equivalent of the Ghost Ride from the first Halloween Tour [59] [61]. Fit for a wedding OR a race, especially with the Silver Bells glider that debuted in the same tour, its gold counterpart that was also welcomed at the time or its gold counterpart or the Glittering Parasol from the Singapore Tour [60], the Happy Ride is fancy and can be fuelled even more by Mini-Turbo Plus [61].

[58]

Honourable Mention 1. Sweet Daytripper
This equivalent of the Daytripper is encased in white, red, and pink, making it sort of like a vehicle from the Pride Ring of Hell in Hazbin Hotel [30] [76] [77]. Perhaps Angel Dust can steer it after an epic rap battle between him and the cheesy but hilariously memorable incarnations of Mario and Luigi from Hotel Mario [16].

[58]

Honourable Mention 2. Bright Girl
As cheery as this equivalent of the Birthday Girl is with its candy-colour palettes, it may be too patterned for fashion experts, such as Gracie from the Animal Crossing franchise [1]. Nevertheless, it is still cute and I would have loved to witness a Peach-themed equivalent of the Festival Girl, the kart that was Number 5 on my first list [78].

[58]

Honourable Mention 3. Sports Coupe 2022
I could have included this one on the list for its vibrant palette resembling fireworks in the night sky, but considering how its design is associated with celebrating New Year’s Day in the 2022 New Year’s Tour [58] [61], it has not aged all that well. What a missed opportunity to establish a 2023 counterpart for it during the New Year’s Tour in 2023 [40] [58] [61]! Well, at least the New Year’s 2023 glider debuted at the time [60].

[58]

Honourable Mention 4. Dreamy Egg
The pastel palette of this egg sure is dreamy, though its tyres might be a bit much unless you love rainbow patterns as much as pastel-coloured skies [58] [61]. If only tyres have become unlockable and selectable in an update for Mario Kart Tour at some point [78], yet that would have resulted in more microtransaction deals and the game has, again, been criticised for how its money-hungry deals make it seem like the sin of greed [69].

[58]

Honourable Mention 5. Green Cat Cruiser
The green counterpart of the Cat Cruiser is ideal for fans of Sprigatitio from the current generation of the Pokémon franchise [10]. It may look surreal but it still looks quirky. I suspected that it would feel left out from the previous lists [75] [78], so it is yet another honourable mention in this one. If only there can be a Calico Cat Cruiser in a new Cat Tour next month if motivation to add new content after the game’s fourth anniversary was still around [24] [27] [75].

[58]

1. Grand Badwagon
Behold! Another one of my favourite kart designs in Mario Kart Tour! It is yet another equivalent of the Badwagon [58]. It is also ideal for a wedding that is debuted in the Wedding Tour in Summer 2021 [61], but shorter and arguably less fancy than Happy Ride without a flower at the front and not as striking as the Flowery Bandwagon [75], yet it still encased in a sophisticated combination with white, purple, and gold [58]. Additionally, it can be considered more fitting for a race due to its fairly modern style, yet there is no room to talk when the Royale has been a competitor’s kart encased in classy flair since Mario Kart DS [36]. You can consider the Number 1 spot on my third list of Top Ten Kart Designs in Mario Kart Tour a fusion of the Number 1 spots on my first and second lists as it consists of the style and floral theme of the Rose Taxi and the colour palette of the Purple Bunny [75] [78].

[58]

This concludes my third and possibly final list of favourite kart designs in Mario Kart Tour. As always, you do not have to unlock a kart to admire its design. Pity that there are all High-End karts and are only available during tours, but please do not be too desperate to get one as a new study has shown that the game has been considered more stressful than fun [15] [34]. Besides, I would like to save money for things other than microtransactions in apps, like lovely elements for me and my fiancé’s eventual wedding. Outside of gaming, episodes of the first season of Hazbin Hotel will enlighten me and my fellow hazbeans weekly with its finale possibly being the icing on the cake next month and plenty of my fellow 2000s kids shall rejoice if MyScene officially returns this Summer [7] [29] [43] [66] [76] [77]. But as important as it is to find out what brings you happiness, it is also important to show some kindness and support for innocent people affected by unfortunate events [8] [9], so please do so from the bottom of your heart. As we continue to be harmonious as a community of gamers, feel free to let me know what your favourite kart designs in Mario Kart Tour are [75] [78]. Best of luck in the tours in 2024, Mario Kart racers [37] [41]! Beep beep!

I guess one of the reasons why the developers stopped adding new content after the fourth anniversary is because of its criticism regarding its microtransaction deals [66], along with a little brainstorming for the next big instalment of the Mario Kart series [3] [24] [27]. It is deeply concerning that a fairly new study has claimed that the game is declared one of the most stressful video games of all time [34], but I can still appreciate some of the creativity put into the karts, gliders, and costumes for the characters throughout the tours [75] [78]. Also outside of gaming, I can still feel valued for spreading kindness to others and some ounces of creativity [44] [46], right? You deserve to feel valued too, especially during the beginning of a new year. Feel proud of your latest achievements, no matter how unsupportive some people may seem towards them [50]. [37]

Oh! And one more thing! It is not how your vehicle looks that matters the most in a racing game [75] [78]. It is how fond you are of playing it and the overall quality of the gameplay that are the top priorities. Am I right, fellow gamers? I shall see you at the finish line! Sorry not sorry about the banana skins, red shells, fake item boxes and blue shell [36]! [55]

Another Top Ten Kart Designs in Mario Kart Tour

There is quite a lot to look forward to in 2023, including Final Fantasy XVI, a new episode of Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel and the seventh season of Totally Spies [24] [25] [40] [41] [48]. Last year, I made my own Top Ten list titled “Top Ten Kart Designs in Mario Kart Tour” to discuss which kart designs I adore the most [55] [57]. Throughout the tours in Mario Kart Tour in 2022, many new kart and glider designs came to the tracks, bringing out some more creativity throughout the app’s run [36] [43] [44] [46]. As always, you do not have to unlock any of the karts, gliders, and costumes for characters in the game to admire them [42] [43] [44] [55] [57]. To this day, the app is still receiving criticism for the prices within its microtransactions, which makes it seem still greedy and no wonder why I have not spent a penny on it [13] [36]. Speaking of not having to unlock a kart to admire it, I believe now is the time to make another Top Ten list to express even more admiration for the creativity put into the kart designs [44]. Without further ado, let us race through another Top Ten Kart Designs in Mario Kart Tour by yours truly.

Just like my previous Top Ten Mario Kart Design list [55] [57], this one is all based on my opinions. I would be interested in seeing yours. [47]

10. Star-Spangled Flyer
From the first Los Angeles Tour back in September 2020, this kart is great for celebrating the 4^th of July if you are an American Nintendo nerd [36] [44] [46]. Not only does its exterior resemble the American flag but there is a blue star with little white ones that are displayed as if there were cutie marks on a pony’s flank in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic to further boost the 4^th of July cred [31]. It would especially suit Mario in the Golf Tour outfit from the third Los Angeles Tour [36] [42]. I just wonder if there will be a British flag equivalent for British Nintendo nerds in a new London Tour [46]. Alternatively, perhaps there could be an Australian flag equivalent that would be suitable for Australian Nintendo nerds in a new Sydney Tour.

[44]

9. Coral Jet Cruiser
Do you adore cruise ships and the colour pink? This kart would be parked up your alley [44]. To feel like a royal VIP across the sea when racing in this design, especially when racing as Princess Daisy in her sailor uniform or her swimwear or Sailor Toadette from the Ocean Tour [36] [46], you could have the Glittering Parasol from the Singapore Tour as the glider [43]. I would sense those Barbie and Polly Pocket vibes if I were to race in this design [1] [50], especially if it goes with the Starry Great Sail from the first Sydney Tour [43]. And of course, those who are not particularly fond of pink can stick to the regular Jet Cruiser. Other than that, I believe there could be a yellow or orange version of the Jet Cruiser primarily for Daisy and Baby Daisy in a new Summer-themed tour.

[44]

8. Cream Cat Cruiser
Cream-coloured kitties are precious, aren’t they? This cream-coloured equivalent of the Cat Cruiser from Mario Kart 8 debuted in the 2022 Cat Tour back in June [33] [36] [44] [46]. There is also a green equivalent that would most likely be steered by Cat Luigi [38] [44], but perhaps the idea of a green cat would be a little too surreal for cat owners, even though that kind of sounds like something I would include in a poem or an original short story [56]. I guess there could be a Calico Cat Cruise in the next Cat Tour as the Calico Toe-Bean Balloons debuted in the Animal Tour back in November and Calico Parafoil from the first Cat Tour [36] [43]. That could also lead to Princess Daisy finally getting her own cat suit, even though she was never playable in Super Mario 3D Land [38].

[44]

7. Watermelon Kart
This kart is the template of Apple Kart coated in a watermelon collage. This juicy design quenched a racer’s thirst for a race in the Ocean Tour [36] [44] [46]. It might also satisfy your appetite if you love watermelon-flavoured treats, such as a watermelon-flavoured Chupa Chups lollipop and its soda can counterpart [9] [21] [53], but please do not try to eat it literally. And speaking of the Apple Kart, thank goodness there is no Annoying Orange kart [6] [7]. Instead, there could be a kart that resembles a peach in a new tour, which would be peachy for Princess Peach. There were a purple poison apple kart and a golden apple kart as my previous Number Three [55] [57], but here is a WATERMELON that is a pretty good design for a kart to me [2]. 

[44]

6. Ice-Cream Minibus / Chocolate Banana Minibus
Two fantastic flavours from the Sundae Tour back in August [36] [44] [46]. I just could not choose only one of them for the Number Six spot. Additionally, there are two pairs of balloons that resemble ice cream cones as gliders: the Mint & Berry Balloons and the Vanilla & Chocolate Balloons [43]. What if the kart designs came from the Ice Cream Planet from that episode of Rolie Polie Olie [49]? I am up for another Ice Cream Minibus design based on other flavours, as long as none of them will be based on ketchup-flavoured and mayonnaise-flavoured ice cream [15]. Furthermore, make sure you have not eaten too much actual ice cream before racing, especially chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce. I would not want any of my fellow Mario Kart racers to suddenly get kartsick. 

[44]

5. Sweet Ride
The Sweet Ride from the Metropolitan Tour and its gold counterpart from the Battle Tour came in the resemblance of a pastry bag [36] [44] [46]. I just love the word “Sweet” printed on the front in a sophisticated chocolate font. Moreover, its design not only gives the term “sweet ride” a new meaning but also provides a double meaning [51]. There is also the Strawberry Soft Swerve, its quirkily colourful counterpart from the Sundae Tour that makes me imagine Tiffi from the Candy Crush franchise driving it [17] [18] [19] [20] [36] [44]. Again, they have let infants drive in the Mario Kart series since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, right [5] [34]? The overall design of the Sweet Ride is a unique food-themed specimen of a kart as part of the deliciousness of the Metropolitan Tour [36] [44] [46]. Yum!

[44]

4. Cupid’s Arrow
During its debut in the third Los Angeles Tour, the Cupid’s Arrow was undoubtfully fit for racing on Valentine’s Day [36] [44] [46]. Other than Baby Peach in her adorable cherub outfit from the Valentine’s Tour [42], I can briefly imagine C.A. Cupid from the Monster High and Ever After High franchises steering this lovely thing [12] [29]. So what if she attends two high schools and looks like a teenager? They let babies drive in the Mario Kart series, right [5]? As much as I do not doubt that the next batch of Valentine’s Day-themed Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss merchandise will seduce my fellow hazbeans [26] [27], the Cupid’s Arrow could just win a Mario Kart racer’s heart [36] [44] [46] Perhaps for the next Valentine’s Tour, there can be a gold version of Cupid’s Arrow, along with a pink version of the Rambi Rider primarily for Candy Kong if she were to become a racer after so long [55] [57].

[44]

3. Star Broom
From the heights of the Sky Tour alongside the Magma Broom [36] [44] [46], this kart would be fit for a fan of the Harry Potter franchise…but on one specific condition these days [14] [30]. I adore the pattern of stars in the bristles as it would possibly be a pattern on a new outfit for Rosalina [42]. The kart’s design would also be ideal for competing in a course set in the evening. I know what you are thinking. Shouldn’t be it able to fly without a glider because it looks a lot like a broomstick? Well, it would at least go well with the Dream Glider, considering it also resembles a broomstick [43]. There will be no need to stick your hand out and say “Up!” if you have unlocked this kart or any of the other two brooms [14].

[44]

2. Flowery Badwagon
This beauty from the Ocean Tour is not only also fit for a florist but also a fan of Princess Daisy [36] [44] [46]. It also debuted in the Ocean Tour as the signature kart for Princess Daisy in her sailor uniform, consisting of summery vibes, especially with a sunflower at the left side of its window like the rose at the left side of the Rose Taxi’s window [55] [57]. What could be next? A Peach-themed Festival Girl [55] [57]? A pink gold version of the Glinting Glider [43]? The first-person mode from Mario Kart 7 being given a second chance [32]? The Daisy Glider that debuted in the Flower Tour in May 2020 would go so well with the Flowery Badwagon [36] [44] [46]. Furthermore, the kart design’s floral vibes are why it deserves my Number Two spot.

[44]

Honourable Mention 1. Sleigh Rider
The Christmas equivalent of the Prancer that was previously mentioned in my previous Number Two spot. What could the names of the brown horses be? Dasher and Dancer? Donner and Blitzen [16]?

[44]

Honourable Mention 2. Sakura Quickshaw
A sucker for sakura? This pretty thing would be ideal for you and Peach in her yukata [42] [44], especially if its glider will be the Sakura Origami Glider [43].

[44]

Honourable Mention 3. Jukebox Buggy
What can I say? This kart is a jukebox [44]! Well, at least not the type that is basically a child in a cardboard box who sings a Busted song incorrectly for a pound [28].

[44]

Honourable Mention 4. Yellow 8-Bit Pipe Frame
It was undeniably outstanding how the classic visuals of Super Mario Kart were adapted in the Super Mario Kart Tour [55] [57]. But still, this kart debuted in the Mii Tour, despite its 8-Bit style [44]. I just had to make the 8-Bit Pipe Frame’s yellow counterpart an honourable mention. As an admirer of ‘90s nostalgia, I would love to see another Super Mario Kart Tour with sprites of Luigi, Peach and Yoshi [55] [57]. 

[44]

Honourable Mention 5. Choco Macharon
This chocolate equivalent of the Macharon was mentioned in my previous list of honourable mentions [44] [55] [57]. Could this inspire the future of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory without the unnecessary addition of a cat and a mouse [52]?

[44]

Honourable Mention 6. Coconut 1
Behold! The tropical equivalent of Egg 1 from Mario Kart DS [35] [44]. I just love the pink hibiscus flowers at the side. I just wonder if there will be a Coconut 2 that consists of blue flowers.

[44]

Honourable Mention 7. Flower Kart
Fit for a florist, this kart can let a racer’s competitive spirit bloom [44], even though it could suddenly attract bees that could ask them if they like jazz [4].

[44]

1. Purple Bunny
This is without a doubt another one of my favourite kart designs in Mario Kart Tour [36]. Just look at its utter cuteness, along with its festiveness for Easter from the second Yoshi Tour [44] [46]! Despite that, you can tell it would fit Nabbit who became a racer in the Wild West Tour back in Summer 2020 because of its purple ears at the back [36] [44] [46]. My fiancé knows how much I adore bunnies, especially when it came to catching MIPS in Super Mario 64 [37]. Putting the Purple Bunny at the top of the list is pretty fitting since 2023 is the year of the rabbit [10] [22] [23]. Aside from how its gold counterpart from the third Yoshi Tour and the Bright Bunny from the first Yoshi Tour [36] [44] [46], I just wonder if there will be a pink counterpart of the Purple Bunny in a new Easter Tour, especially for Princess Peach and Toadette. Now that would be considered another favourite of mine!

[44]

So, this concludes my second list of favourite kart designs in Mario Kart Tour. I still consider Mario Kart Tour to be Nintendo’s Marmite [8] [55] [57]. You either love it or hate it. Besides, I am not encouraging anyone to spend so much currency on the app just for new karts, gliders and drivers as I know there are more important things to spend it on in life, such as bills [13]. Remember the Repo Man’s psychotic laughter from The Sims 2 [3]? As for the Mario Kart franchise, I do not doubt that our Nintendo nerds will be hyped for the courses in the Fruit Cup, the Boomerang Cup, Feather Cup, Cherry Cup, the Acorn Cup and the Spiny Cup in the next three waves of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass [45]. I am also curious to see what new kart and glider designs will debut in new tours in the greedy but fully functional mobile game [36] [43] [44]. I also strongly recommend a new mode that brings back the collaboration between two characters during a race from Mario Kart: Double Dash!![34]. I am about to try and earn another gold trophy now. Best of luck in the next tour after the New Year’s Tour, Mario Kart racers [39] [46] [47]! Beep beep!

There is creativity and proactivity that awaits us throughout 2023, fellow gamers [11] [24] [25]! I will be sure to keep striving, despite a somewhat bad start of the new year [54]. [39]
