If you're after specific Mario Kart Tour characters, your options are unfortunately limited - it's either a case of waiting for them to appear in the Store or as a Tour Gift reward, otherwise you have to try your luck by spending Rubies in pipes. This requires Rubies (Mario Kart Tour's premium currency, earned in-game and purchased with real-world money) to use.

MARIO KART WII CHARACTERS UNLOCK UPDATE
Latest update (October 9th): Added 14 (!) new characters to our list with the arrival of the Tokyo tour, including Rosalina, Peach (Kimono), Mario (Hakama), the Koopalings and more.


This all means having a range of Mario Kart Tour characters at your disposal will give you an advantage on whatever course the game throws your way. Instead of simply slotting neatly into light, medium and heavy racers, these characters have their own rarities and a special skill - which you can pick up from Item Boxes on the track - and can pick up more Item Boxes depending on the course they race on. That said, this mobile version has a few new additions - such as Pauline and Musician Mario - as well as changes to how each character choice can give you an advantage. Mario Kart Tour characters offer a series of familiar faces for those who have played Mario Kart on consoles or handhelds over the years.
