Mario Kart Tour Celebrates Halloween Tour With Spooky Courses GBA Boo Lake and DS Twilight House
Nintendo’s mobile hit, Mario Kart Tour, has kicked off its highly anticipated Halloween Tour, delivering a festive and fright-filled update for players worldwide.
Available on iOS and Android through the Nintendo eShop and mobile app stores, Mario Kart Tour continues to evolve with recurring themed events that keep its dedicated audience engaged.
The Halloween Tour, a limited-time event, introduces iconic courses and a bevy of new content that captures the spirit of the season.
Launched in September 2019, Mario Kart Tour has rapidly become one of Nintendo's most successful mobile games, earning millions of downloads on the Nintendo Switch companion mobile platforms.
The game’s tradition of releasing special seasonal tours has helped it retain a strong player base and ensure regular content updates.
The Halloween Tour is particularly notable this year for featuring newly added tracks: GBA Boo Lake and DS Twilight House—two fan-favorite courses making their return in remastered form.
"We’re thrilled to bring back courses like GBA Boo Lake and DS Twilight House for the Halloween Tour, giving both new and long-time players a hauntingly fun experience," a representative from Nintendo stated.
The addition of these nostalgia-packed tracks is complemented by fresh themed cosmetics, kart upgrades, and character suits available throughout the event window.
Mario Kart Tour’s innovative use of classic tracks from across the Mario Kart franchise has been praised for blending nostalgia with mobile-optimized gameplay.
GBA Boo Lake, originally appearing in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and DS Twilight House, making its return from Mario Kart DS, both provide challenging turns and atmospheric visuals fitting for the spooky season.
The Halloween Tour is live now for all Mario Kart Tour users, with players encouraged to login and experience the newly added content.
In addition to the courses, the event introduces limited-time in-game rewards, enhancing progression and encouraging continued play during the event period.
Mario Kart Tour’s ongoing success on mobile platforms reflects Nintendo’s commitment to expanding its intellectual properties beyond the Nintendo Switch and traditional home consoles.
With more than 200 million downloads and consistent position atop mobile racing charts, the game reinforces Nintendo's presence in the competitive mobile gaming market.
The seasonal tours, including the current Halloween Tour, are a testament to Nintendo’s strategy of supporting their titles with regular, community-driven events.
