Nintendo's mobile Mario Kart game, Mario kart Tour, has surpassed $200 million lifetime revenue and 200 million downloads, according to a report from research firm Sensor Tower Store Intelligence.
The mobile racing game had a fast start with over 100 million downloads and $17.8 million in revenue in its first 11 days following its launch on September 25, 2019. The game earned $100 million in revenue in under six months, which was helped by its $4.99 per month Gold Pass subscription. This enabled players to earn more in-game rewards and access to 200cc races.
