Visite de Mario Kart might not be banking the same amount of money as titles like Pokémon GO, but for a mobile racing game, it’s still been quite successful.

Le last major sales update in April last year, revealed Tour had surpassed 200 million in downloads and $200 million in player spending since releasing in 2019. Maintenant, Sensor Tower (via GamesIndustry.biz) has shared some new stats. Tour has now generated an estimated amount of $293 million USD for Nintendo.

This not only includes purchases on the gacha mechanicwhere players fire off a pipe to unlock a new item or characterbut also takes into account earnings from monthly Gold Pass subscriptions (priced at $4.99 USD).

While all of this is seemingly easy money for Nintendo, last week the Japanese company announced it would be removing the gacha elements and replacing these in-game mechanics with a ‘Spotlight Shopnext month on 4th October.

This new in-game store will remove the random element, but will still feature the monestisation aspects. Gold Pass subscriptions will also still be available for players to purchase.
