Nintendo will end Mario Kart Tour service at 11:00 p.m. Pacific time on September 29, 2026. For players following the final Anniversary Tour, the more urgent deadline is one hour earlier: the second half’s ranking results are viewable in the app only from 10:00 to 10:59 p.m. Pacific. Nintendo says they will not appear in Past Tours’ Stats after service ends.

When does Mario Kart Tour shut down?

Nintendo Support gives 11:00 p.m. Pacific on September 29 as the service end time. That is 8:00 a.m. Central European Summer Time on September 30. The calendar date therefore differs by time zone; the two times describe the same shutdown.

When can I see the final Anniversary Tour rankings?

Nintendo’s updated ranking FAQ says the second half of the Anniversary Tour rankings can be checked in the app only between 10:00 and 10:59 p.m. Pacific on September 29. In Central European Summer Time, that is 7:00 to 7:59 a.m. on September 30.

After the shutdown, those results will not be available in Past Tours’ Stats, even if you viewed them during the final window. If you want a personal record, check the in-app result while the window is open and save it yourself. Nintendo does not say that viewing it earlier will preserve it in your account.

What happens to unused rubies?

Ruby sales ended July 7, but Nintendo says players can spend rubies they already have until service ends. The listed uses are the Spotlight Shop, Mii Racing Suit Shop and Coin Rush. Nintendo’s separate FAQ says rubies cannot be used in other games, apps or services. These statements do not establish a refund policy for unused currency; check Nintendo’s official support for account-specific purchase questions.

What happens to Gold Pass?

New Gold Pass subscriptions and automatic renewals stopped July 7. Nintendo says most Gold Pass benefits are free for players through 10:59 p.m. Pacific on September 29, immediately before service ends. The exception is benefits tied to continuous subscription; the free access does not include those. Nintendo’s FAQ lists benefits such as Gold Gifts, Gold Challenges and 200cc among those made available.

Nintendo has announced the service deadline and these in-app changes. It has not established a post-shutdown offline version in the cited notices, so do not assume the game or account features will remain playable after the service ends.
