Mushroom Cup

Your friendly guide to Mario Kart Tour's Mushroom Cup! Learn about each track, the items you'll find, and how to unlock Donkey Kong.

Alright, so you're diving into the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart Tour! It's the first cup you'll tackle, and it's a great way to get a feel for the game. This cup has four tracks, and completing it is your ticket to unlocking the one and only Donkey Kong. Let's break it down track by track so you know what to expect!

Here are the tracks you'll race on in the Mushroom Cup:

• Mario Bros. Circuit
• Crown City
• Whistlestop Summit
• DK Spaceport

Mario Bros. Circuit

This first track is pretty straightforward. Keep an eye out for the Donut item, which is a type of Food in this game. Collecting these specific items can help you unlock alternate costumes for your characters, which is a neat bonus! When you spawn into the track, you'll see the 'Mario Kart' sign right in front of you. The nearest Food shop is actually to the immediate left of that sign, even before you start moving. You'll also see a table listing characters associated with this track, but don't worry too much about that for now – just focus on racing!

Aero	Daisy
Peach
All-Terrain	Bowser
Luigi
Mario
Pro Racer	Bowser Jr.
Toad
Toadette
Wario
Yoshi (R)

Crown City

Next up is Crown City! On this track, you'll be looking for the Cake item, another Food type that helps unlock character costumes. As soon as you spawn, just drive forward for a few seconds. You'll want to look to your right – you should spot some coins. The Food shop is right around there. It's a good idea to grab any items you see, especially if they can help you unlock those cool costumes later on!

Whistlestop Summit

Whistlestop Summit is a bit different. Here, you'll find Chips / Coffee as your Food item, which, you guessed it, helps with unlocking costumes. When you start, drive forward and immediately scan to your left. You should see a banner that says 'Wilderness Coast Station'. The Food shop is right around that area. This track also has a list of characters associated with it, but again, focus on the race itself for now!

DK Spaceport

Last but not least, we have DK Spaceport! This track features the DK Smoothie Bowl as its Food item, useful for unlocking those character costumes. This track has a few character associations listed, including Wario, Mario, Peach, and Yoshi.

Unlocking Donkey Kong

The best part? Completing the entire Mushroom Cup will unlock Donkey Kong as a playable character! So, keep pushing through these races, aim for those wins, and you'll have DK joining your roster in no time. Good luck out there!
