Mario Kart Tour

I think Sonic & All-Stars Transformed is on mobile too, but I haven't played it and I don't know how good it controls.

I tried it, you can't transform mid race, instead the vehicle type is decided before the race. Gum is unlockable but Beat isn't even in the game? I'm pretty sure there were weird roster choices like that. I can't remember how it controls because it crashes every five seconds on my phone.

I did however, spend a ton of time in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing on mobile when I was younger, and even downloaded it a few years ago so I could replay through it. I'll be honest here, I think I prefer it to Mario Kart Tour, sure it's old, and it looks like it's old, but it controls far better then Mario Kart Tour. You can control it with motion controls or a sliding bar on the left, and you can use the brake or drift button to brake or drift. Essentially, this let you make fine adjustments to you position with the horizontal bar/motion controls, and you could do that in tandem with the drift button to perform drifts. Outside of the obvious flaw of it being a mobile game, it controlled fairly well.

I'm pretty sure it's just a port of the DS version of the game, but optimised for phones. I'm not sure if the game included microtransactions, but considering how much of a slog it was to unlock some the later tracks and characters, I'll just assume that's true. Overall it's a decent mobile game that's better then Mario Kart Tour, and I'll never be able to play again because it's "not optimised for iOS whatever". Shut up Apple, I just want to play actually good mobile racing games.
 
people also have valid reasons for disliking the game and have stated them as well theyre not just like.. a pack of wolves. which would imply theyre hatin on it for like no reason? and that aint true
 
Even if there was no gacha system, I hate the ranking system employs for the characters and vehicle parts. It heavily implies that Baby Luigi is common as dirt trash.

Which strengths by point from my post that characters being better on certain tracks is a terrible idea since it goes against the incentive to pick your favorite character which has been in every game before.
 
It's even worse since you have to gamble for those characters. If you don't pay anything, chances are, you're not going to really make any progression unless you onerously grind for nearly-worthless coins (capped every day) or stop by the daily shop frequently (habit-forming rubbish they're trying to encourage).
