First place isn't enough in Mario Kart Tour

The long and winding Rainbow Road to the release of Mario Kart Tour is nearly complete. After announcing the game roughly a year ago and immediately going into radio silence about it, Nintendo is finally giving some players a chance to see how it's translating one of its most popular franchises to the mobile platform in a closed beta. Anyone with a My Nintendo account was able to apply to be part of it and, as luck would have it, I managed to receive an invite. 

For the past four days, I've been diving into the game to see what it is all about. While the first day was riddled with connection issues, it's been smooth sailing since, allowing me to really get a feel for what Mario Kart Tour will be like when everyone is able to play it. As it stands right now, I don't see myself bothering with it when the full version launches later this summer.

And because I'm not allowed to share images or video from the beta -- though that hasn't stopped others from doing so -- this article will instead use free stock photos of dogs from Pexels.com.
