In Mario Kart Tour, Lakitu encourages you to fire off a pipe that shoots out random characters and karts every time it is launched. In order to fire off this pipe, you’ll need the special in-game currency (Rubies) which can be unlocked by playing the game or purchasing them with real money.
Like other mobile games, the gacha-style mechanics on display here aim to encourage players to resort to microtransactions to unlock ultra-rare items. If you’ve been wondering what the odds are, below is the appearance rate of each character and item in the game (thanks VGC):
