Mario Kart Tour brought the thrill of racing in the Mushroom Kingdom to mobile devices upon release at the end of September 2019. With tons of different courses to race through, the game can provide hours of kart racing. However, players quickly realized that one notable course was missing from the lineup: Rainbow Road. If you’ve played other games in the series, you’re likely familiar with this course and possibly traumatized. So, we have to ask the question, when is the Mario Kart Tour Rainbow Road release date?
