Mario Kart Tour is all about choosing the best racer, kart, and glider. But, on top of that, being able to drift around corners expertly is key to your success as a racing star. That’s why many have found themselves wondering if Mario Kart Tour has controller support on iOS and Android. Here’s everything you need to know.

Does Mario Kart Tour have controller support?

If you’re one of the many hoping to make use of a controller of some sort with Mario Kart Tour, unfortunately, we have some bad news for you. At this point in time, Mario Kart Tour does not offer any kind of controller support for users playing on iOS or Android. This means you’re simply going to need to make do with the default control options in the game.

While these control options can be a bit frustrating, once you’ve taken some time to get used to them, they work fairly well. Even then, racing in Mario Kart Tour is more about points than anything when it comes to challenges, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much about being the best racer around, at least not until multiplayer arrives and you want to show off to your friends.

All we can really do is wait it out and see if any kind of support becomes available down the road.

        1) has already been answered
        2) Because it's the best Mario Kart, it's still a huge seller on the Switch, and no one sells Switch games (I've checked, Switch games have probably the smallest active resell market I've ever seen for a current console).
