Mario Kart Tour<\/em> is going off the rails, and Lakitu won’t be there to save it as Nintendo is taking the seven-year-old mobile game offline on September 30 at 2AM ET. Unlike with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp<\/em> (another mobile game it scuttled), the company doesn’t plan to introduce an offline version, so Mario Kart Tour<\/em> will be gone for good in a few months.<\/p>\n Service for the Mario Kart Tour game ends on Sept. 29 at 11:00 p.m. PT \/ Sept. 30 at 8:00 a.m. CEST. Thank you for your support throughout the years. For info on how rubies and the Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass will be handled moving forward, see in-game notifications or FAQ below.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) July 8, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Nintendo is no longer selling the game’s digital currency, and it has ended auto-renewals and new subscriptions for the Gold Pass, which includes extra in-game rewards, challenges and a 200cc mode. Those who had a paid subscription will still have access to most of the Gold Pass content (save for “continuous-subscription benefits”) for free until the game shuts down. Other players will be able to check out the same benefits at no cost starting August 5 at 2AM.<\/p>\n The writing has been on the wall for a while, as Mario Kart Tour<\/em> had effectively been in maintenance mode since late 2023. At that time, Nintendo stopped updating it with new courses, drivers, karts, gliders and other features.<\/p>\n Nintendo hasn’t entirely given up on mobile, though. It recently released Pictonico!<\/em>, a WarioWare-style game that taps into photos on your camera roll. Super Mario Run<\/em> is still available, nearly a decade after its debut, as are Fire Emblem Heroes<\/em> and last year’s Fire Emblem Shadows<\/em>. Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> (which had its 10th anniversary this week) and Pikmin Bloom<\/em> are still around as well, but Nintendo doesn’t operate those.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The company doesn’t plan to release an offline version.
