Mario Kart: The Grand Tournament is the 9th game in the Mario Kart series (10th if counting MK8 Deluxe), developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Like in the last previous installments, players control characters from the Mario series in go karts. The game features the return of the gliders, underwater driving, anti-gravity, the logo make from Mario Kart DS, double item blocks from Mario Kart Double Dash, and kart customization.
Game Modes[]
Grand Prix[]
In Grand Prix Mode, the player needs to win the cups against computer-controlled opponents. The difficulty level against CPU racers increases while selecting the engine class which are four:
- 50cc - Easy. The minimum top speed is low for all karts and CPU racers have a very limited selection of items.
- 100cc - Intermediate/Medium. The minimum top speed is fairly average.
- 150cc - Hard. The minimum top speed in the karts is high. CPU-controlled heavyweight karts always take the top positions.
- Mirror - Very Hard. Similar to 150cc engine class, as well all racecourses are turned. CPU-controlled heavyweight karts always take the top positions.
- 200cc - Extreme. Twice as hard as 100cc. Mainly, CPU-controlled heavyweight karts always take the top positions.
Time Trail[]
In Time Trial, a single player races courses over a set number of laps to record the fastest completion time. When a race gets started, the characters will have three mushrooms for speed boosting. The best time elapsed in a lap and a race on a specific track will be saved after completing the race. Once completed the race on that racecourse, the user is able to compete against either their ghost from the current ghost data or the staff ghost within the stage. Otherwise, if a race is failed, the ghost data will not be saved.
VS Race[]
In Quick Race Mode, a single player battles against computer-controlled opponents. The player can customize options, like how many races, racing in teams or not, which engine class, turn Super Specials on/off, and which items.
Battle[]
Battle Mode again featured specially build stages and retro stages, which were absent in Mario Kart 8.
Balloon Battle[]
Balloon Battle can be played in teams or in free-for-all mode. It combines survival battle mode from Mario Kart DS and earlier installments and the timed points battle mode introduced in Mario Kart Wii; all players start with 3 points and 3 balloons each. Successfully making an opponent lose a balloon awards the player a point, and losing a balloon through any method will cause the player to lose a point. Balloons can never be regained (unless one is stolen from another player with a Mushroom), and if all balloons are lost, points can no longer be lost or gained. Defeated players can still drive and attack players as a Ghost however, so a player with a high score and no balloons can still win. Players can also now adjust the time limit from one to five minutes.
Coin Runners[]
In Coin Thief, a single player should collect Coins, which are spread over the stage. He/she also can also earn coins by hitting other players with items.
Bob-Omb Blast[]
In Bob-Omb Blast, Characters use Bob-ombs to hit their opponents and score stars to win. The bombs can be obtained by running over an Item Box, which only contains Bob-ombs. These Bob-Ombs can be thrown forward or dropped backwards. Any kart that makes contact with an opponent's bomb or gets blown up by the explosion will lose two points. The timer can be adjusted from 1 - 7 minutes.
Shine Thiefs[]
In Shine Thiefs, players must retrieve a Shine Sprite dropped on the course and keep it in hand until time runs out. On the other hand, players who couldn't retrieve the treasure can use items against whoever has the Shine to force them to drop it. If using a Mushroom, a Star or a slide-attack, a Shineless player can steal the Shine directly from its owner.
Knockout Race[]
In the new mode, Knockout Race, Drivers have to race in order to not be in last. Every minute, One driver will be knocked out of the race if there in last place. This will keep going until one driver is left standing.
Online[]
Just like in some previous Mario Kart games, players can race matches online against each other. This time players can race with random people both Worldwide and Continental, they can play in a Friend lobby, and they can start and participate in Tournaments. Players can set their own rules for tournaments.
Track Builder[]
The new mode in the game is Track Builder in which you can build your own tracks. You have a standard set of building parts and more can be unlocked upon completing Time Trails, Grand Prix and Missions. You can save your courses and play on them along with your friends in VS mode.

You can obtain a 3-star ranking if you do great, a 2-star ranking if you do very good, 1-star when you do well, and rank A, B and C if you do bad, very bad or really bad.
