The "Mario Kart Tour" video game series may be Nintendo's most profitable title. According to a Tech Times report, the game has recently achieved incredible sales. Based on sales updates from April 2021, "Mario Kart Tour" has exceeded 200 million downloads and $200 million in player spending since its release in 2019.
The game's dynamic racing series, which features recognizable characters and riveting course designs, makes it very appealing. Despite Mario Kart Tour's straightforward gameplay, its multiplayer appeal is endless, and its single-player challenge is fascinating and addictive.
Additionally, it helps that each iteration adds new mechanics, which keep things interesting even when the overall experience does not change significantly.
Mario Kart Tour Is Adding Battle Mode
Battle Mode, like Grand Prix and VS Mode, is a multiplayer game in the Mario Kart series. This special mode has appeared in every Mario Kart game except the mobile version. In contrast to the usual racing mode, this mode involves driving karts while hurling objects at other players in order to gain points.
According to GameRant, "Mario Kart Tour" will finally get Battle Mode in its next update, which will be released on Oct. 4. As a mobile companion to the Mario Kart games, it has proven to be an extremely popular title on iOS and Android. It only gets better with the addition of the classic game mode.

The establishment of a Battle Mode was first revealed when Nintendo announced the removal of loot boxes from the game, despite being its most profitable feature. The same announcement informs the public that these changes will be implemented in the upcoming major game update in late September.
Battle Mode Is Coming Soon
According to Nintendo Life, the two introductory courses for Battle Mode are GBA Battle Course 1 and GCN Cookie Land, with the new tour beginning on Oct. 4 at 11 p.m. PT / Oct. 5 at 8 a.m. CET. As part of the 'Wave 16' drop, players will also receive a cool new green racing suit for Mii characters in addition to the update.
While "Mario Kart Tour" 3.0 is currently available for download, the battle mode feature will not be included in the game until Nintendo decides to add it, according to Pocket Tactics. As of writing, there has not been any update on a precise date.

As of this writing, "Mario Kart Tour" has a 4.1-star rating in the Google Playstore. It has already been downloaded over a hundred million times since its release. As Nintendo adds Battle Mode to the cool handheld game, we can expect this number to grow.
The "Mario Kart Tour" battle mode update is welcome news for fans who have been eagerly awaiting it. Nintendo also announced changes to the Mario Kart Tour Spotlight Shop, and both moves have greatly impressed the gaming community. Nintendo's continued enthusiasm for its mobile racing game is a good sign for the future of Mario Kart and Nintendo mobile games.
