Reception
[edit]Kotaku's Zack Zwiezen noted that although the game was a clear Mario Kart clone, it was also a "fun and well-made mobile kart racer" and that the lack of microtransactions that are present in most mobile games because of the Apple Arcade subscription model compared favorably against Mario Kart Tour.[7] Pocket Tactics's Kayleigh Partleton praised the game and called it a "fantastic mobile kart racer" in a positive review.[8]
