Introduction
Subway Surfers Rio Carnival, also known as Subway Surfers World Tour: Rio 2025, is the 194th installment in the popular endless runner game series developed by SYBO Games. This version transports players to the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the festive Carnival season. Launched around February 2025, it celebrates Brazilian culture with colorful visuals, lively music, and thematic content tied to Carnival and International Women’s Day.
In this game, players can explore a dynamic environment filled with Carnival-inspired elements like confetti, samba rhythms, and tropical scenery. The update introduces three new characters—Rebeca Roar, Gabriel, and Dinorange—along with a new outfit for the existing character Fantasma (Carnaval Outfit). It also features three new hoverboards: Roarsome, Arara Board, and Moongazer. Special events such as the Marathon Challenge, Tag Time Attack, Season Challenge, Mystery Hurdles, and Women’s Day Run add variety, with Carnival Masks serving as the Season Hunt tokens. The update also includes a new soundtrack, “Vamos Dançar,” enhancing the festive atmosphere.
