The app has several different campaigns that are known as tours. Tours last several weeks. They follow certain themes, usually reflecting real world places, and different stages appear in tours. Each tour involves going through various Cups that are named after different characters. Each cup consists of three races and a bonus stage in which a player has to accomplish a specific objective (such as defeating goombas or collecting item boxes). Placing first in races is no longer the primary objective in ''Mario Kart Tour'', as everything is decided by how many points a player accumulates in a race. The players' points earn Grand Stars, which are needed to progress to other Cups and to unlock gifts for the player. Players also accumulate coins from races, which can be put towards purchases at the in-game shop. Winning races will still go towards raising the player's tier level. There is also a Coin Rush Mode in which the player controls Gold Mario and focuses on racking up coins, but it requires ruby payments to play. | The app has several different campaigns that are known as tours.

− | Rubies are a type of currency in the game that can be bought with real-world currency or can be earned through some accomplishments within the game. They can be put towards firing a pipe or towards playing Coin Rush. Firing the pipe is the game's gacha feature; by paying five rubies, the pipe can be fired to unlock a racer, kart or glider at random. Duplicates will be merged to increase the original's skill level. The game also has a shop where the player can spend coins to unlock racers, karts or gliders. The shop's inventory changes daily, and more daily offerings become available as the player's rank increases. There are also some special bundle deals that are available by paying directly with real-world currency. ''Tour'' also has a Gold Pass available. By paying a subscription fee for the Gold Pass, players will be able to take part in 200cc races and receive extra rewards | + | Rubies are a type of currency in the game that can be bought with real-world currency or can be earned through some accomplishments within the game.
