How Do I Unlock NEW Characters & Karts?

Players get Grand Stars based on how many points they earn in a race. Grand Stars can unlock new cups, which in turn reward Tour Gifts. Tour Gifts are reward packages given upon the completion of a cup, offering a combination of drivers, karts, gliders and more. Only certain unlockables are available via Tour Gifts during each Tour.

Another way to unlock content is via The Pipe, a gacha-style mechanic which unlocks random content. Rubies are required to use The Pipe, which can be earned by completing races or “other sources” including micro-transactions.

Each Pipe contains 100 fixed items, with players guaranteed to receive the Tour ‘Spotlight’ items (ie, Pauline and New York items) within those 100. Players are not guaranteed to receive all unique items within a Pipe’s lifetime, but The Pipe can be reset and filled up again.

The number of characters, karts and gliders in each Pipe is determined by their rarity. It is possible to obtain duplicate items, which will cause the existing character’s, kart’s or glider’s skill level to increase.

Finally, coins are collected in races and Coin Rush mode and can be spent in the Shop on drivers, karts and gliders. Coin Rush mode has players racing as Gold Mario and collecting as many coins as possible. Rubies are required to start Coin Rush, with a multiplier applied to the number of coins you collect for higher Rubies purchases.

Players can also collect coins and Rubies by completing daily challenges, standard challenges and by logging in each day.
