BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
I have a hard time with controls. It really keeps me away from the game. If you would let you use one of the controllers they have now for mobile it would be awesome.
My 4yo son loves to play MK Tour. He isn't great at it, but its wholesome fun and he loves the characters. The best part is I just let him go at it and its there in a pinch if we get caught running errands and his patience wears out. We don't like to stick a screen in front of him but this works great in a pinch.
I play this way too much. The best part of this game is the tracks change every 2 weeks. That's what keeps it fun and why I think the added the expansion pass tracks to MK8.
I know some disagree, but this game was a letdown for me. I played and enjoyed it for a few days. But the game mechanics just left me wanting more. I will stick to regular Mario Kart.
