A while back, Nintendo stopped official support for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, but released an offline version of the game that fans could continue to play. So when Nintendo recently announced that Mario Kart Tour is shutting down, players were surprised to learn that there would be no equivalent offline version offered – the game in its entirety will cease to exist in September. That means Mario Kart Tour will be the first Mario Kart game that’s completely inaccessible via legal means – though you could sort of argue for Mario Kart Arcade GP to be included in that category.

Despite its closure, though, Mario Kart Tour made an impact on the franchise as a whole. So today, we’re going over what set Mario Kart Tour apart, and the exclusive content it still has that hasn’t made its way to any console title (at the time of writing).
