Mario Kart Tour has seen huge success on mobile with more than 14 million downloads so far but players were sad to find a lack of real multiplayer competition in the first mobile installment of the kart racer. Today Nintendo announced that the promised multiplayer mode will finally start its engines this December.
If you’d like to race and compete with your friends, or against other players from all around the world, you are in luck! The big N will be adding a live multiplayer feature this December, at least in Beta form.
How to participate in the Beta Test
To be able to participate in this beta test you will need to be a Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass Subscriper. This is Mario Kart Tours $4.99/month subscription model that unlocks new characters and other goodies every month.

A Mario Kart themed steering wheel is available for pre-order for the Nintendo Switch.
I love all the accessories that really help you get into a game. The more immersion, the better. And racing with an actual steering wheel really helps you get into the game. I always found that Mario Kart specifically could be a little tough with a wheel, drifting around corners while trying to use items. However, there are other racing games to be played.
Luckily, there are two versions of the new wheel being released. One is a basic style for your average casual gamer or younger audience. The other is a pro version that features more buttons and a higher price tag. The former costs 75.99, and the latter costs $139.99.
The Nintendo Switch steering wheel will be released in Japan on Nov. 30th, and there is no word yet of a western release. You can pre-order yours now on Play-Asia. Click here for the basic and click here for the pro. For more awesome Switch accessories, check out the ones you can’t miss!
