Mario Kart Tour

Every tour, there are ten rewards that you can collect. Every day that you show up during that tour, you get the next reward. They are not huge rewards, but worth opening the app for.

There are three Packs every tour: a cheap Value Pack (~€3), an expensive Special Offer (~€20) and a very expensive Special Offer (~€45). The contents are not much. Only a few items are in the Special Offers (I don't get why anyone would buy them) but the contents of Value Packs are a little cheaper than if you'd buy them separate. This tour's Value Pack gives 5 rubies and a few tickets (to unlock things or have earlier access to something) for €2,29; which is the normal price for 3 rubies.

The longer you play, the more items you collect, the more points you win during races, the more your player level goes up, which gives more points during races. The more energy you put in, the more you win at the game.

The Gold Pass subscription costs €5,50 a month. It is optional and gives you advantages in the game. (See 'Pay to Win' section)

Gold Pass subscribers can earn 600 coins a day where normal players can collect 300. They can also earn more XP per day, which can level up karts, characters and gliders, which then give more points when used.

The Gold Pass Subscription for €5,49/mo gives you better rewards, better characters, karts and gliders. Where normal players can collect 300 coins a day by racing, Gold Pass Subscribers can collect 600/day. Coins can be used to buy more characters, karts and gliders. Some characters (like Mario, what the game is named after!) are only available to Gold Pass members. Also, the 200cc racing option is only available to them. They can earn you more points in a race.

At the start of the tour, you can use a Quick Ticket to skip waiting for a cup which is currently 'under construction'. I'm not sure if they can be bought, but they can sometimes be earned with completing Challenges.

The pipes are random rewards. If you come back daily, you also get a Daily Reward, but those are already predetermined and visible.

Rubies are the only currency that can be bought. They can be earned - when completing a Challenge, reward can be 1 or 2 (rarely 3) rubies; - or by buying them. 3 for €2,29; 10 for €7; 23 for €14; 48 for €30; 93 for €55; 135 for €75. They are very expensive, but can be more easily earned than bought. (Though you can't exchange, 3 rubies = roughly 500 coins. Sometimes, )

Kind of. You can always play, but some new cups with tracks are unlocked every day at the start of the tour, and a new Daily Challenge
