Mario Kart Tour fans reckon the mobile racing game could soon be playable on PC thanks to officially supported emulation. 

As spotted by ResetEra user MondoMega, dataminers over on a fan-run Discord channel have found a series of hints pointing towards the possibility in Mario Kart Tour's latest update. The first discovery to raise some eyebrows was the addition of mouse support as an input method. While that could be for development purposes, dataminers flag that further references to native emulation support have also appeared. 

More officially, Mario Kart Tour's latest update has laid the groundwork for a big new bonus challenge called Big Reverse Race vs 100. If you don't fancy waiting to check it out, one fan has used mods to load the challenge early. As ever, be wary of spoilers. 

In other news, Nintendo has increased security following 2020's "gigaleak".
