Here's a cryptic tweet I read today. See what you can make of it:

> The checkered flag has been raised and the finish line is near.

> A new mobile application is now in development: Mario Kart Tour!

> #MarioKartTour

> Releasing in the fiscal year ending in March 2019.

What is a "fiscal year"? Why do fiscal years end? Does "year" kind of rhyme with "tour"? Is #MarioKartTour a hot trend Nintendo is jumping on for attention, or is the company hinting at something deeper here?

Here's a crazy idea: what if Nintendo made a Mario Kart game for smartphones?

Wild, I know, but if you read between the lines...
