Mario Kart Tour is a great start. Players love the Mario Kart feel to the game, the constant challenges they must overcome to unlock, and the number of courses in the game and which ones are coming. However, despite being a popular mobile title, some players are still experiencing crashing issues. If you're still having issues with the game and it's continually crashing on you, you have a few options available to you to improve things.
Why does Mario Kart Tour keep crashing?
The biggest problem some gamers might encounter is not having a powerful enough phone. To play Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo recommends that you use these types of smartphones to play the game:
- An iPhone 6s or later
- A 7th generation iPad or higher
- A 5th generation iPad, Air 2, Mini 4 or newer
- Any iOS device running iOS 10.0 or higher and a compatible Android OS 4.4 or higher
Unfortunately, Nintendo's website doesn't list a specific amount of Android like they did for Apple products. However, if you bought your phone within the last three or four years, the installed operating system 4.4 should be sufficient.
If you are using any of the above devices or operating system on your smartphone and you are still experiencing crashes, it may be due to your internet connection. To make sure you're getting the best connection, turn off your phone and reconnect. You can also go home and manually restart your internet connection. It could have something to do with your provider.
Another reason why so many gamers are experiencing these issues is because the game is brand new. Mario Kart Tour released early Wednesday morning, and many people jumped at the chance to join in on the racing fun. Unfortunately, Nintendo servers may not be able to support that many connections at once. The development team behind the title has been working hard to push patches into the game to support the title's servers, but they may not have fixed the issue. It will take them a few weeks to get everything under control.
The alternative reason is that the game is experiencing several different errors. The 805-9056 number, the 805-9314 error, and the 806-7250 are some of the few players encountered on day one. Some players are still having issues with those, among others.
For any players who are still having these issues, an alternative you can explore is to uninstall the game and reinstall it. For some reason, your phone might have missed a critical game update or a fix didn't make its way on first use. Reinstalling Mario Kart Tour can give you all the files you were missing and help you more.
Nintendo is working hard to ensure Mario Kart Tour continues to perform well. They will be rolling out additional support for the title and login updates over the next few weeks.
