Chequered flag. On 24th September 2019, Nintendo launched Mario Kart Tour for mobile devices. This was Mario’s second outing in mobile gaming, following 2016’s Super Mario Run, which had an impressive initial reception but seemingly failed to generate much revenue (compared with other big mobile games, including Nintendo’s own Fire Emblem Heroes).

Last time, we put the GameCube curio Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest into the ring, with a 1v1 match-up between North America and Japan. While the latter put up a pretty good fight, it was NA that walked away with…
