Characters in Mario Kart Tour
A list of all playable available racers in Mario Kart Tour. All racers must be unlocked through one of several methods. One is through the game's gacha mechanic, in which the player can spend rubies (earned in-game or purchased with real world currency) to fire a pipe which will unlock a racer, kart or glider at random. Additionally, a different character will be available in the shop on a daily basis and can be purchased for an amount of coins. Some characters may also be available as Tour Gifts for progressing through a tour at a certain rate.
Drivers
Drivers are divided into three rarity levels: Normal, Super and High-End. When beginning a game, the player will receive either Toad, Toadette or Peachette as their first Driver.
