Mario Kart Tour challenges are back, and with them include unique ways to get badges in the mobile game. These new challenges get designed for players to find unique ways to play the game while using drivers they usually wouldn’t use on courses. A challenge this week is for players to score more than 8000 points or higher using a driver with an extended tongue. Here’s how you do it.

Before you get started in figuring out what track you want to participate in, you need to find the correct driver to complete this challenge. Some players might have a bit of difficulty with this one because the drivers don’t always show their tongues while they’re racing. However, a handful of new ones came out for the Halloween event, and they’re ready to complete this challenge. There’s also an old favorite who is suitable for this challenge too.

Here are the available drivers you can use to complete this challenge:

  • King Boo
  • King Boo (Luigi’s Mansion)
  • Yoshi

The two big choices for this challenge is for players to go after King Boo and King Boo (Luigi’s Mansion). These two are the obvious choices because they visibly have their tongues out on their icons. However, players who don’t think they’re going to get the chance to draw either of these two from the pipe, there’s no reason to fret. Yoshi works perfectly to complete this challenge. If you have Yoshi, you’re good to go.

Now, to complete the challenge, you’re going to need to find the best way to get those 8000 points during your race. The best way to do this is by having a higher driver, vehicle, and glider level before you start the race. These are going to give you a decent boost before you hit the track, but they’re not going to win you the day. You want to rely on hitting other opponents while you’re driving and landing those item box hits.

To make sure you’re hitting as many item boxes as possible during your race, refer to your driver’s favored courses. You can view these on their driver profile screen by checking them out in the driver section. Both King Boo options are going to prefer the newer courses, which are going the be the highlight for this big Halloween event. If you get the chance to drive around with these two, then you’re going to do fine during the first series of races.

You can earn points during your race by collecting coins, hitting drifts to get a boost forward, doing jumps, and landing one of the top spots in the race. When you’re aiming for a score like 8000, you want to make sure you’re hitting first place.
