Nintendo has just announced a special campaign for Mario Kart Tour in celebration of the launch of Mario Kart World. The campaign will be held between July 23 to August 6 2025, bringing with it some new content.

The big N had announced in 2023 that Mario Kart Tour would stop receiving new content after 4 years of support. This coincided with the closing out of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass. This new campaign will bring Mario and Luigi in their mechanic uniforms, as well as add 4 differently colored variations of the Tiny Titan kart from World.

Donkey Kong Bananza is out on Nintendo Switch 2 today, and to celebrate, a brand new event has started up in Super Mario Run.

New rewards are available that can be earned by completing different missions. You’ll clear your first once by simply booting up the mobile game and visiting your kingdom. Other missions involve collecting coins, defeating a certain amount of enemies, and more. Players can fill out three mission sheets in total, which provide different statues.

Nintendo Today went live with a new version 1.2 update today, which includes a couple of new features.

First, daily notifications are available, and you can choose to have them sent at three different points of the day. Picture-in-picture video is also supported, meaning you don’t have to sit in the app while watching content.

The full rundown is as follows:
