Capsules appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as new items starting from the [[Doctor Tour]]. They are the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of Dr. Mario, Dr. Luigi, Dr. Peach, and Dr. Bowser. When used, three capsules orbit the player's kart, and the player must then tap the screen to throw them all at once; when they do, the capsules bounce toward opponents, and they cause them to spin out when hit. When Capsule+ is activated, the capsules are slightly bigger, and a fourth one is added. | Capsules appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as new items starting from the [[Doctor Tour (2022)|2022 Doctor Tour]].
