The game is the fourth installment in the Mario Kart series, following Mario Kart: Super Circuit from 2001. Be sure that the downloaded Mario Kart WII ROM is created from the official version of MarioKart, not a homebrew illegal edition. Like Super Mario Run, Mario Kart Tour is a free-to-play game, meaning there will be optional microtransactions for cosmetic or gameplay items available (characters, kart parts, etc). In order for them to begin driving, Lakitu will appear with a traffic light hanging on his fishing pole at the starting line, which starts the countdown.
