Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's mobile racing sensation, might be gearing up for a surprising content update next year. According to datamining discoveries shared by the gaming community, the game could potentially introduce one new playable character and four fresh karts in June 2025.

When Mario Kart Tour launched in September 2019, it quickly became one of Nintendo's most successful mobile titles. While exact figures vary, reports agree the game achieved massive download numbers—some sources claim 9 million downloads in its first week, while others suggest it hit 10 million in just 24 hours.

Despite its strong start, Nintendo announced in September 2023 that Mario Kart Tour would no longer receive new content updates. However, gaming YouTuber KoopaV recently shared findings suggesting this policy might change. The rumored update, potentially arriving on June 11, 2025, would coincide with the game's 150th tour event—the Mario vs. Luigi Tour.

While Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed these rumors, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement. Fans are particularly curious about which Mario Kart character might join the mobile roster. Speculation suggests the new racer was originally planned for earlier release but never made it into the game, with leading guesses including Koopa Paratroopa, Luma, Spike, or the beloved Moo Moo.

Interestingly, this rumored update would follow closely after the anticipated launch of Nintendo Switch 2. With Mario Kart World expected to be a flagship title for the new console—potentially available as a bundle—some theorize this mobile update could be part of a broader marketing strategy to boost interest in both platforms.
