Mario Kart Tour is off to a great start. Players are loving the Mario Kart feeling to the game, the consistent challenges they need to go through to unlock, and the number of courses in the game and those incoming. However, while it is a popular mobile title, some players are still running into issues regarding crashes. If you’re still having trouble with the game and have it 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 players may encounter is not having a powerful enough phone. To play Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo recommends you use these types of smartphones to play the game:

  • An iPhone 6s or higher
  • An iPad touch 7th generation or higher
  • An iPad 5th generation, Air 2, Mini 4, or anything newer
  • Any iOS device running iOS 10.0 or higher and an Android capable of OS 4.4 or higher

Unfortunately, the Nintendo website does not list out a specific amount of Android-related as they did for Apple products. However, if you’ve purchased your phone in the last three or four years, you should do fine with the 4.4 OS installed.

If you’re using any of the above devices or OS on your smartphone and you’re still experiencing crashes, it could be from your internet connection. To make sure you’re optimizing the connection, turn off your phone and reconnect to it. You can also go into your home and manually restart your internet. It could have something to do with your provider.

Another reason so many players are experiencing these issues is that the game is brand new. Mario Kart Tour released early Wednesday morning, and so many people jumped at the chance to get in on the racing fun. Unfortunately, the Nintendo servers may not be up to the task to support this many connections at once. The development team behind the title worked hard to get patches out to the game to support the title’s servers, but they may not have fixed the problem. It’s going to take them a few weeks to get things under control.

The alternative reason is the game is experiencing several different errors. The 805-9056 issue, 805-9314 error, and the 806-7250 are some of the few many players ran into on the first day. Some players are still having problems with those, among others.

For any player still experiencing these issues, an alternative you may want to explore is uninstalling the game and give it a fresh install. For whatever reason, your phone may have missed a critical update to the game, or a patch did not make its way through the first time. Reinstalling Mario Kart Tour may give you all of the files you were missing and help you further.
