Coming down the pipe
Nintendo’s mobile racing grinderMario Kart Touris the latest video game to ring in a whole new year – or decade, even – with some fresh seasonal content. A newly-released trailer reveals the existence of several celebratory character skins, all headed to the much-malignedpipe system.
New skins will see Mario rocking his Happi outfit from the acclaimedSuper Mario Odyssey, while Toad puts on a snazzy jacket, bow-tie and party hat. Curiously, the latter is also carrying a fake Mario nose and moustache, which he holds to his face while jumping, I guess it’s some kind of party mask.
A red Yoshi variant is also joining the roster, as is a golden Koopa Troopa wearing a backwards baseball cap, a look he’s clearly hoping will make a comeback in 2020. While there are no new tracks or modes this time around, current raceways will be decorated in the spirit of the season. It should also be noted that thepreviously-released Holiday contentis still available until tomorrow.
Mario Kart Touris available now on iOS and Android devices.
