Mario Kart Tour features a lot of items and mechanics from the Mario Kart franchise. The franchise has had years to perfect the number of useful items, mechanics, and races to keep its players entertained for hours on their mobile devices. An iconic element of the game is the Super Horn. The Super Horn is a practical item and can prevent a player from losing their first place.
The Super Horn in the Mario Kart tour
The Super Horn looks like a red box with a yellow megaphone on the side. It comes with many uses and is a great way to clear the path or protect yourself.
Clear the way
A great way to optimize this item is to clear the path. This produces a small shock wave coming from your driver's vehicle. If there are nearby players hit by the shockwave, they will launch into the air and lose their progress. If these drivers were carrying objects, those will also fall.
You want to fight your way if there's a small group of players in your way or if they start approaching you. You can see them getting closer to you when you're in the lead by using the 180 degree button at the bottom or next to the little icon that appears when a player is getting closer. If they try to overtake you or slip behind you, hit them with the horn to send them packing.
Stop the blue seashell
The dreaded blue shell. Every Mario Kart Player knows what it is. It's the item you send that rushes forward and hits the player in the first place. If you time the blue shell correctly, you can prevent the lead player from winning a race and overtaking it. Many friendships have probably ended over the use of this dreaded item.
However, the blue shell has a counter: the Super Horn. If you're in the top spot and get the Super Horn, you want to keep it for as long as possible. While it's good to protect yourself from players coming in close, you also want to make sure you have it to prepare for all of the blue shells. The Super Horn is not going to protect you from the blue shell. Instead, you have to time it. You have to wait for the blue shell to come in and start to descend. When the Blue Shell sets, it will crush you. But if you hit the Super Horn right before that, you're going to get rid of it and continue the race unscathed.
No matter how you use the Super Horn, it will help you win races and save time. Much easier Mario Kart ride.
