There are actually a few different ticket types in the game. Some allow you to upgrade an item or character’s stats, while others allow you to get more points when you use them, the latter being what we’re looking at here.

Each item has a point value that is added to your total when you use them in a race. You use Point Boost Tickets to increase the number of points that an item or character grants, making it easier to unlock stars and go up the ranking leaderboards.

You can purchase them from the store in Mario Kart Tour and sometimes you’ll get them as rewards from winning cups and races.

How to Use Point Boost Tickets in Mario Kart Tour

As for how to use point boost tickets in Mario Kart Tour once you’ve got them, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Menu option at the bottom of the main menu.

  2. Choose Drivers, Karts, or Gliders, depending on the item you want to use your Point Boost Tickets on.

  3. Choose the exact thing you want to upgrade.

  4. Select the points tile underneath the picture of the item/character.

  5. Select Raise to use one of your Point Boost Tickets and up the points score it gets.
