Progressing through Mario Kart Tour is all about collecting new drivers, karts, and gliders, then powering them up to improve their performance in races. You’re going to get better rewards from completing cups. One way to improve your unlocks in Mario Kart Tour is by using tickets to level up, which has a couple of different benefits. You can also increase the skill level of any driver, kart, and glider to make its unique abilities more useful only by using the pipe.

Driver, Kart, and Glider Skills in Mario Kart Tour

Skills in Mario Kart Tour cover a wide variety of different effects. They can include things like Princess Peach’s Heart, the Slipstream bonuses from various karts, or increased chances to get specific items based on your choice of a glider.

The random nature of content unlocks in Mario Kart Tour make it impossible to predict which driver, kart, or glider you’ll unlock next. If you’re hoping for one of the game’s most rare unlocks, you’ll also probably be in for a long wait. Each time you have a chance to use the pipe, you’ll receive a random item. There’s no way to increase your chances of obtaining any particular one.

How to Increase Skill Levels in Mario Kart Tour

While it’s bad news if you want to fill out your collection, it can work to your advantage. When you’re trying to increase the skill level of items you’ve already received. It’s not nearly as exciting to get a copy of a thing you already have. To find an entirely new one, but it’ll help you in the long run. Each time you get a duplicate driver, kart, or glider from the pipe, it will increase the skill level of that item instead of giving you something new. Collecting multiples of the same unlock to improve your performance in races. Doing better gets you a little closer to your next chance at unlocking something even better from the pipe.
