Spotlight Shop in Mario Kart Tour to eliminate gacha ruby shooting

Mario Kart Tour is getting ready for a big update that will finally include fight mode to the mobile game and give you a whole new method to get your favorite characters without having to rely on a gacha RNG. Yes, you heard correctly; you won't need to depend on luck to find the finest racers, and that's cause for celebration in my opinion.

The Mario Kart Tour Spotlight Shop update acts as a kind of game reset for those who haven't yet succumbed to the lunacy of Mario's mobile racing, allowing new players to get started without having to depend on gacha-style pulls. This not only makes new characters more accessible, but it also allows you to gather older characters who were previously hidden behind the gacha feature.

It's an exciting moment to be a Mario Kart fan, with new circuits joining the game as part of the continuing Mario Kart 8 DLC and the most recent Mario Kart Tour update. Our heads are running like Baby Bowser on Rainbow Road with a pocket full of mushrooms, thanks to the update notes from the Mario Kart Tour Twitter account, which also promise "lots of other things in the works" for future updates.

When will the Spotlight Shop upgrade for Mario Kart Tour go live?

On October 5, the update will launch Mario Kart Tour's fighting mode and Spotlight Shop. Here's the most current Mario V.S. Luigi clip in case you need a refresher on what's available in Mario's mobile racing.
