Special item introduction: Bowser's Shell
In #MarioKartTour, there are special items for certain drivers.
This big ol' shell will crash any kart it hits and keep on going. In tightly-packed races, this powerful item can take out multiple racers in a single throw! #MarioKartTour pic.twitter.com/1w1yrfr9gM— Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) September 1, 2019
Item introduction: Spiny Shell
Chases down the kart in 1st place, crashing through anyone it hits before reaching its target. With this item around, even racers at the front of the pack aren't safe! #MarioKartTour pic.twitter.com/6lMhCylYnh— Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) August 30, 2019
Item introduction: Red Shell
Hones in automatically on a kart in front of you and crashes whatever it hits. This item is great for catching up to or overtaking an opponent. On the other hand, it sure can be scary when you're the one in the crosshairs! #MarioKartTour pic.twitter.com/gnQKJwC4gg— Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) August 30, 2019
Item introduction: Green Shell
Flies straight and crashes any kart it hits. Will bounce backwards if it hits a wall, so keep an eye out! #MarioKartTour pic.twitter.com/q8xvF8m7LW— Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) August 29, 2019
Mario Kart Tour will be officially launching for mobile devices worldwide on 25 September 2019.
