Lederhosen Luigi Is Now A Thing
Mario Kart Tour has received another shakeup this week as Mario and the gang head to Berlin. The best news? Luigi’s whipped out his lederhosen to celebrate.
Available as we speak and running until 26th January at 9.59 pm PT, the new Berlin Tour will see all your favourite Mario Kart characters racing through the streets of Germany’s capital city. The tour hopes to make the most of its Berlin inspiration by substituting the city’s signature red and green pedestrian signals, known as Ampelmännchen, for Nintendo’s own red and green men, Mario and Luigi.
Beyond the German-inspired items, players can also race in the “Butterfly Wings” glider, and, in week two, race as Penguin Luigi, Builder Luigi, or regular ol’ classic Luigi. There are new vehicle items, too: Sushi Racer kart and the Blooper Wingtip glider.
