Mario Kart Tour brings real Mario Kart racing to your phone — and yes, you can race your partner directly. Here is how multiplayer works on iPhone and Android.
How to race each other
- Install Mario Kart Tour on both phones — free on the App Store and Google Play (it runs on Android and iOS alike).
- Sign in with Nintendo accounts and add each other as friends.
- Open Multiplayer from the main menu and create a private room.
- Your partner joins from the friend list — pick a cup, line up and race.
Making it a proper rivalry
Best-of-five, loser makes the coffee. Short races and item chaos keep every rematch fresh — it is a staple of our racing games for couples list. If you want more drift in your duels, KartRider Rush+ and Asphalt 9: Legends are the next stops.
After the podium
When the grudge match is settled, wind down with our #1 couple game Our Flower Garden — zero items thrown, guaranteed. Or browse the full couple games list for the next rivalry.
