Remember when this was meant to be released around a few weeks after launch…- Creepimus Creeper ?? 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ (@Creepimus) March 3, 2020 Regardless, it’s probably high time you reinstalled Mario Kart Tour, because it’s about to get a lot more exciting! For those looking to reinstall their download, Nintendo has offered some helpful advice. Tweeting to its many players, the company said: “Are you a returning player? If so, now’s a great time to jump back in! If you redownload #MarioKartTour and link to the My Nintendo Account you had originally linked, you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off.”ADVERT ADVERT Love how you guys assumed so many people deleted it- Shiv (@MasterShivX) March 9, 2020 Back in December 2019, Mario Kart Tour was revealed as one of the most popular mobile games of the year. As revealed by Apple [via TheVerge], the Nintendo hit scored the number one spot on the “Free iPhone Games” chart, blowing both Call of Duty: Mobile and Fortnite out of the water.

Hopefully the release of multiplayer will help Mario Kart Tour to keep its winning spot in the charts!
