Mario Kart Tour redesigns racing for thumb play and a service cadence, using city-based tracks and a rotating character-glider-kart economy to keep players checking back. It is not the same fantasy as console Mario Kart, but it is much more deliberate than a lazy mobile downport would have been.

Example
Real-world city courses gave the game a travel-postcard identity that helped distinguish it from the mainline entries.

Why it matters
It matters because it is Mario Kart adapting to the mobile market on its own terms, not just borrowing the logo for brand reach.
