Halloween Tour (2022)

The Halloween Tour was the eighty-first tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on October 19, 2022 and ended on November 1, 2022. It marked the first instance of four tours sharing the same name.

Complementing the Halloween theme of the tour, many Halloween-themed drivers returned as spotlights, while several ghost-themed tracks were introduced, including Boo Lake from Mario Kart: Super Circuit making its series debut as a classic course. Donut Plains 3 from Super Mario Kart also returned after appearing in Mario Kart 8, Twilight House from Mario Kart DS returned as a battle course, and the R/T variant of Ghost Valley 2 made its debut. The Streetle from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe returned as a kart in this tour, marking the first time any non-Mario-related content (including characters, karts, gliders, or courses) appears in the game, as the Streetle is designed after the beetles from the Animal Crossing series.

The Autumn Celebration event that started in the previous tour continued into this tour. This tour introduced the second set of Autumn Challenges cards, which rewarded Captain Toad for completing all challenges on the card, in addition to finishing the Autumn Challenges 1 card from the previous tour. In addition, players could earn Petey Piranha (Gold), the newly introduced Red Vampire Flyer kart, and a gold pipe as part of reward for placing high in the ranked cups.

This was the first tour to feature a bonus challenge that had been featured in four other tours before this tour, being the Glider Challenge in the Peach Cup, as well as the first tour to feature a Smash Small Dry Bones bonus challenge that takes place on a course's variant. This was also the first tour to debut a classic course alongside its R/T variant.

This tour's Coin Rush course was DS Luigi's Mansion, which was reused from the 2019 Halloween Tour and the Cooking Tour. The menu's background featured the mansion from Boo Lake as the landmark for this tour.
Madrid Drive

### Music

Madrid Drive is a race course in Mario Kart Tour, named after and inspired by Madrid, the capital city of Spain. The course takes drivers through many landmarks of the city such as the Plaza Mayor and the Puerta de Alcalá. Both Madrid Drive and Madrid Drive 2, debuted together in the 2023 Summer Tour making Madrid Drive is the third city course in a row to not debut in a tour named after its respective city. This course is the seventh course set in a European city. The starting line for the course resembles the gate for the Royal Palace of Madrid.

Madrid Drive ,along with Rome Avanti, debuted in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Expansion DLC, Wave 6 on November 9, 2023.

Madrid Drive later returned in the Anniversary Tour (2023), introducing a brand new variant, Madrid Drive 3.
Summer Tour (2023)

The Summer Tour was the hundred-and-third tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 23, 2023 and ended on September 5 2023. This tour introduced a new city course based on Madrid, Spain called Madrid Drive. Along the tour's introduction, a tour named after every season had been held during the game's fourth year, following the Autumn Tour in 2022 and the Winter Tour and Spring Tour earlier in 2023.

The tour also introduced a purple variant of the Pit Crew Toad, and a new variant of Mario based on his black and blue suit from Super Mario Odyssey, marking this the first tour since the Anniversary Tour to introduce a new costume for Mario and the final instance of **Charles Martinet** providing a new voice line for Mario, due to his retirement. Additionally, many sport-themed vehicle parts were introduced in this tour, relating to baseball and golf.

This tour ends the Summertime Celebration, which began in the Sunshine Tour.

This was the first tour to add favorite courses for Peachette, Pauline, Peach (Kimono), the Poison Apple Kart, and the Star-Spangled Glider since the Peach Tour, Autumn Tour (2022), New Year's Tour (2023), and Rosalina Tour, respectively.

The Coin Rush course for this tour was Madrid Drive. The menu's background featured the **Santiago Bernabéu Stadium** as the tour's landmark.

## Trivia

* Poochy appeared on the course icon for Berlin Byways R/T although he was not obtainable this tour.
Yoshi Tour (2022)

The Yoshi Tour was the sixty-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on April 6, 2022 and ended on April 19, 2022. Being themed around Easter like the two previous Yoshi Tours, it introduced a new yellow variant of Yoshi (Egg Hunt) with a gold eggshell, as well as a white Birdo and Wave 3 of Mii Racing Suits which are themed around Yoshi and Birdo. Unlike the previous Yoshi Tours, which both only introduced two new R/T courses, this tour introduced Yoshi Valley from Mario Kart 64 as a new classic course (making this the first tour to introduce a new N64 course since the 2020 Exploration Tour forty-five tours prior introducing N64 Choco Mountain). The menu's background featured some mountains and hot-air balloons from N64 Yoshi Valley as the landmark for this tour. This was the first tour since the Bowser vs. DK Tour twenty-four tours prior in which all 36 courses are classic courses.

As part of a 2.5-Year Anniversary celebration, this tour retained the 2.5 Year Anniversary Challenges from the previous tour, while also featuring upgraded items in the Token Shop, including Toad (Party Time), Ice Mario, the Pink Gold Paper Glider, and the Bruiser, as well as a High-End pipe. This tour featured a pipe known as the Colorful Pipe, which only contained 10 spotlight drivers, including White Yoshi and Birdo (Black), but the pipe would no longer be able to be pulled after it was emptied.

This tour brought back the Snap a Photo bonus challenge from the 2021 Yoshi Tour twenty-five tours prior, making this the first instance of a Snap a Photo bonus challenge being reused.

This tour's Coin Rush course was 3DS Daisy Hills, which was reused from the Flower Tour and the Summer Tour.

The ninth set of Expert Challenges was made available at the start of this tour. This was the first Expert Challenges card since the one that ran from the Summer Festival Tour to the Sunset Tour to not be released on or before a Team Rally tour. The ninth set of Expert Challenges has ended on the Metropolitan Tour.

Starting from this tour, Wario (Cowboy), Cat Toad, the Black Dozer, Kamek's Zoom Broom, the Treasure Map, and the Meteor Balloons are obtainable in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
Bullet Bill

**Bullet Bills** are anthropomorphic, bullet-like projectiles in the *Mario* franchise, acting as common enemies. They are horizontally shot out of Bill Blasters, coupled with a firing sound effect to indicate their prescence, and fly in a straight line, going through walls. Some Bullet Bills additionally approach from off-screen without the prescence of a Bill Blaster, though a firing sound effect is still heard. Bullet Bills are immune to fireballs; in most games, Bullet Bills can be defeated by jumping on them. Ever since *Super Mario 64*, some Bullet Bills have the ability to home in on Mario as a missile, similar to Bull's-Eye Bills. In some series, mostly in the *Mario Kart* series, Bullet Bills have been portrayed as items, either as projectiles themselves or are used to take advantage of their speed by either riding on them or transforming into one. While they have been primarily portrayed as obstacles, few games depict them as individual characters such as the Bullet Bill character in *Mario Party Advance*. **Bullet Bills** are a rare item in *Mario Kart*

## Use

When a player uses the Bullet Bill, they will transform into a very fast Bullet Bill. It will automatically steer the player throughout the track, although the player can swerve left or right to hit other players. Bullet Bills usually appear when a driver is in a low rank. eg: 7th or 8th place.
Doctor Tour (2023)

The **Doctor Tour** is the ninetieth tour of *Mario Kart Tour*, which begins on February 22, 2023 and ends on March 7, 2023. Reflecting the theme, the tour features the return of all four doctors in the game and their respective Capsule Kart colors, on top of introducing a gold Capsule Kart. The tour also introduces Shroom Ridge from Mario Kart DS as a classic course, as well as Wii Coconut Mall R/T. The tour's banner is very similar to that of the previous Doctor Tour, but replaces Dr. Luigi with Dr. Peach, switches her and Dr. Mario's positions, and features a different shot of Coconut Mall instead of the course's normal variant.
Head Honcho

The Head Honcho is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the Summer Festival Tour and became the signature kart of Cat Toad in the Bowser vs. DK Tour and Toad (Party Time) in the Wedding Tour. The kart is a black and gold variant of the Daytripper with a brown canopy and a red seat and lights. Unlike the Daytripper, it uses the Quickshaw's tires, though in an official screenshot, it is shown with the Pipe Frame's tires instead. Also unlike the Daytripper, this kart extends the duration of Mini-Turbo boosts while raising the number of points earned for performing Mini-Turbos.

## Availability

Since its debut in the Summer Festival Tour, the Head Honcho has appeared in all regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe, but it is not currently a part of the shop's Daily Selects. The table below shows the kart's availability by tour.

 Wedding Tour | Wedding Pipe 2(spotlight)
New Year's 2020

The New Year's 2020 is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It is a marquee-styled glider in the shape of the number "2020" in celebration of New Year's Day 2020, when the Holiday Tour ended. It is the signature glider of Pauline (Party Time). This glider increases the chance of obtaining Mushrooms from Item Boxes and the points earned for using them.

The New Year's 2020 glider was exclusively obtainable during the Holiday Tour and was part of the second week's spotlight lineup, alongside Pauline (Party Time) and the Platinum Taxi. A counterpart to this glider called the New Year's 2021 debuts in the
Snow Tour

The **Snow Tour** is the thirty-eighth tour of *Mario Kart Tour*, which began on February 24, 2021 and will end on March 9, 2021. This tour features the return of DK Summit from *Mario Kart Wii* as a new classic course, while also introducing Penguin Toad from *New Super Mario Bros. Wii* as a playable driver in the first week spotlight with Penguin Luigi, and Peach (Wintertime) and Wario (Hiker) making a comeback for the second week spotlight. Starting with this tour, the ranked tier cap was increased to 70, drivers, karts, and gliders can now be increased up to level 7, Normal drivers at level 7 can now get upgraded special skills, and a new Kart Pro event is also introduced in this tour, which challenges players to score three consecutive wins in Standard Races or Gold Races in the Multiplayer mode. The menu’s background features the snowboarding Donkey Kong statue from DK Summit as the landmark of this tour.

## Cups[edit]

### Notes

The Snow Tour reuses the Shy Guy Cup and Lemmy Cup's bonus challenges from the 2019 Halloween Tour for this tour's Birdo Cup and Hammer Bro Cup (although the 2-star and 3-star requirements for the latter were increased from 12 and 18 to 14 and 19), the Morton Cup's bonus challenge from the 2019 Winter Tour for this tour's Dry Bowser Cup, the Dry Bones Cup's bonus challenge from the Holiday Tour for this tour's Fire Bro Cup (although the 1-star requirement was increased from 200 to 300), the Pauline Cup's challenge from the Ice Tour for this tour's Roy Cup (although the 2-star and 3-star requirements were decreased from 10 and 18 to 9 and 16), and the Luigi Cup and Larry Cup's bonus challenges from the Trick Tour for this tour's Pink Gold Peach Cup and Baby Mario Cup (although the 3-star requirement for the latter was decreased from 38 to 35).

Blizzard Parasol

The Blizzard Parasol is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the Ice Tour and it is the signature glider of Peach (Wintertime). The glider is a variant of the Peach Parasol with an icy-blue color scheme and a snowflake pattern. It also slightly resembles Rosalina's variation of the Peach Parasol from Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. Unlike the Peach Parasol, hitting other racers with Super Horns grants more points when using this glider.Names in other languages
Peach Parasol

The Peach Parasol is a glider introduced in Mario Kart 7. As its name states, it is a pink umbrella which has its design inspired by Princess Peach. It offers a small acceleration boost, while hindering the weight stat. Like all the other gliders, it allows karts to go airborne for a brief time period.

## History

### Mario Kart 7

The Peach Parasol makes its first appearance in Mario Kart 7. Like the Birthday Girl, its color only changes when it is used by Daisy, Rosalina and Honey Queen. All the other characters use Peach's personal pink parasol. It gives a small boost to acceleration but makes the kart slightly lighter. It has the same stats as the Flower Glider. Unlike the Birthday Girl, male or indeterminate-gender computer racers can use this glider.

#### Color schemes

Daisy - Orange

Rosalina - Blue

Honey Queen - Purple

All other characters - Pink

### Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Peach Parasol returns in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and is now less transparent and adorned with a royal pattern on the white line and the shaft is now brown instead of tan. The same color changes apply like the previous game, but only when using Daisy, Rosalina, and their baby versions. The glider has the same stats as it does in Mario Kart 7, and it shares its stats with the Cloud Glider, Parachute, Parafoil, Bowser Kite, MKTV Parafoil and Hylian Kite.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Peach and Cat Peach use this glider with the Prancer kart body.

#### Color schemes

Daisy and Baby Daisy - Orange

Rosalina and Baby Rosalina - Turquoise

All other characters - Pink

### Mario Kart Tour

The Peach Parasol returns in Mario Kart Tour. In this appearance, it only uses the default pink color scheme, no matter which racer is using it. It is classified as a Super glider. Hitting other racers with Red Shells yields more points when using this glider. An icy blue variant called the Blizzard Parasol is introduced in the Ice Tour, and a variant with a stained glass rose pattern called the Rose Parasol is introduced in the Peach vs. Daisy Tour. Both variants are classified as High-End gliders.
Night Tour

The Night Tour was the ninety-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on June 28, 2023 and ended on July 11, 2023. This tour introduced **Rome Avanti**, a new city course set in **Rome, Italy**, and also introduces **Moonview Highway** from Mario Kart Wii, marking its first appearance in the series as a classic course. The tour also includes other city courses set at night (hence its name), namely New York Minute, Vancouver Velocity, and Singapore Speedway, in addition to GCN Waluigi Stadium's first reappearance, immediately following its debut in the previous tour. The inclusion of Vancouver Velocity most likely referenced Canada Day, which occured during this tour on July 1, and New York Minute most likely referenced Independence Day, which also occured during this tour on July 4. This is the first tour since the 2019 Paris Tour to introduce both a new city course and a classic course, and the second tour in a row to add three courses simultaneously. It is also the first tour to feature the normal variant of New York Minute since its debut in the New York Tour (the first tour of the game), the first tour to feature the reverse variant of New York Minute 2 since its debut in the 2019 Holiday Tour (the seventh tour of the game), and the first tour to feature New York Minute B since its debut in the 2022 Autumn Tour.

This is the first tour to introduce a variant of a Kong character, namely Donkey Kong. It is also the first to introduce a driver with the Banana Barrels special skill since the introduction of Funky Kong in the Jungle Tour eighty-one tours prior, being the Light Green Mii Racing Suit. Additionally, all Shy Guy colors from Mario Kart 8 have returned in Mario Kart Tour as of this tour.

The tour's Coin Rush course was New York Minute, which was reused from the New York Tour and the 2022 Autumn Tour. The menu's background featured the Colosseum as the tour's landmark.

The fourteenth set of Expert Challenges was introduced in this tour. This is the second set of Expert Challenges to last for seven tours instead of six; the first was from the 2023 New Year's Tour to the 2023 Ninja Tour.
Autumn Tour (2021)

**The Autumn Tour** is the fifty-fourth tour of *Mario Kart Tour*, which began on October 6, 2021, and will end on October 19, 2021. The tour introduces various Tanooki-themed items, such as marking the return of Tanooki Mario as a playable character and introducing Rosalina's Tanooki form as a playable variant, which makes this tour the first to introduce two new High-End characters since the Ninja Tour thirteen tours prior. Due to the former's reappearance, as of this tour, all playable characters from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, except for Miis and non-Mario characters, are present in the game. King Boo (Luigi's Mansion) and Peach (Halloween) (who both appeared as the week 2 spotlight drivers in the previous Halloween Tours) reappear as spotlights for the second week.

The tour's signature course is Wii Maple Treeway, and similarly to the last tour that featured this track as its signature course, the 2020 Halloween Tour, there are Jack-o'-lanterns scattered across every course except GBA Sunset Wilds, 3DS Rosalina's Ice World, 3DS Rainbow Road, their variants, and SNES Donut Plains 2R/T. While this tour does not introduce any new courses, it introduces the R/T variants of SNES Choco Island 1 and Wii Maple Treeway. This is also the first tour since the 2021 Los Angeles Tour to introduce similar-looking gliders, being the Tanooki Parafoil and the Gold Tanooki Parafoil. Starting from this tour onwards, trailers for tours are no longer released on the tour's start date but rather on the tour's announcement date. In this tour, the Coins Aplenty event gives out 500 coins instead of 300 coins.

The Autumn Celebration event began in this tour which, similarly to the Summertime Celebration event held from the Summer Tour to the Mario vs. Peach Tour, will feature new unique challenges, as well as upgraded rewards in the Total Points Challenge. The event will last for three consecutive tours.

This tour's Coin Rush course is GCN Dino Dino Jungle, which is reused from the Hammer Bro Tour. The menu's background features the large tree from Wii Maple Treeway as the landmark of this tour, which was reused from the 2020 Halloween Tour.

This is the last tour to feature the sixth set of Expert Challenges, which started in the Mario vs. Peach Tour.

Super Bell

The **Super Bell** is a power-up introduced in *Super Mario 3D World*. It is a golden striped bell with beady eyes. When obtained, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Bowser, Rosalina, or Toadette will transform into their Cat forms, which allows them to slide into enemies, pounce in midair, and climb up walls and Goal Poles.

## History

### *Super Mario 3D World* / *Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury*

Super Bells first appear in *Super Mario 3D World*, serving as the game's signature power-up succeeding the Super Leaf in *Super Mario 3D Land*. Grabbing one turns Mario and friends into their Cat forms, letting them scratch or pounce into enemies (with  or  while grounded or in midair, respectively), slide into enemies (in place of rolling), and climb up walls and Goal Poles. They also dash at crouching height, and sprint sooner than in any other form. There is also another power up called the Lucky Bell, which also turns the player into their Cat form, but when they ground pound, they turn into invincible Lucky Cat statues and earn bonus coins while falling.

Super Bells are first seen during the game's prologue scene, where they are flung out of the Clear Pipe leading to the Sprixie Kingdom, along with many other items such as POW Blocks and Double Cherries. Like most power-ups, these can often be found inside ? Blocks, but they are also frequently dropped by Cat Goombas.

Two new Bell power-ups debut in *Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury*. The Invincibility Bell, which can be spawned by using a Cat Mario amiibo, turns Mario into White Cat Mario, which has the invincibility of the White Tanooki form applied to the Cat form instead. Exclusive to the *Bowser's Fury* mode is the Giga Bell, which turns Mario into Giga Cat Mario, an enlarged, enhanced Cat form used to fight Fury Bowser. Super Bells can also be gained in that mode by collecting 100 coins (though they are given randomly), steering Plessie underneath Fury Bowser, or by ground-pounding an inactive Giga Bell while having enough Cat Shines.

### *Mario Kart* series

#### *Mario Kart 8* / *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*

In *Mario Kart 8* and *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*, Super Bell acts as the logo of the station that the Super Bell Subway course takes place in, seen on banners and trains among others. A Super Bell statue also tops the fountain at the final U-turn before the finish line. The Bell Cup, which hosts this course, is also represented by a Super Bell.

#### *Mario Kart Tour*

The Super Bell returns in *Mario Kart Tour* as the special skill of Cat Peach and Cat Toad. When used, it rings and strikes the driver's surroundings, similarly to a Super Horn. Unlike the Super Horn, however, this item rings three times consecutively to cause this effect, with the tradeoff being that other racers will simply spin out, and items will simply be repelled from the player. When Super Bell+ is active, the bell will ring once more and last longer.
Trick Tour (2021)

The **Trick Tour** was the forty fourth tour of *Mario Kart Tour*, which began on May 19, 2021 and ended on June 1, 2021. It is the fourth tour to share its name with a previous tour, and like the 2020 Trick Tour, it features only Reverse/Trick variants of courses. This tour added the R/T variants of RMX Choco Island 1 and DS Airship Fortress, and Builder Toadette from Super Mario Maker 2 as a playable driver. This is the first tour in the game to not introduce any new gliders. This tour's Coin Rush course is RMX Choco Island 1, which was reused from the Jungle Tour. The menu's background features the hills from RMX Choco Island 1 as the landmark for this tour.

Poison Apple Kart

The Poison Apple Kart is a High-End kart in **Mario Kart Tour**. First introduced in the Cooking Tour, it became the signature kart of Rosalina (Halloween) in the Rosalina Tour. The kart is a purple variant of the Apple Kart with a brown steering wheel and exhaust pipe, black leaves, black taillight rims, and red highlights on the taillights. Its name is possibly derived from the poisoned apple in Snow White. Unlike the Apple Kart, it uses pink versions of the Sponge tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This kart increases Dash Panel boost duration and the number of points earned upon using Dash Panels.
Frost Tour

The Frost Tour is the fiftieth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 11, 2021 and will end on August 24, 2021. This tour introduces a new remix course based on the Vanilla Lake tracks from Super Mario Kart named RMX Vanilla Lake 1, being the first tour to introduce a new remix course since the Peach vs. Daisy Tour fourteen tours prior, as well as introducing Penguin Mario from New Super Mario Bros. Wii as a new driver, while also bringing back Penguin Luigi and Penguin Toad on the second spotlight pipe since their last pipe appearance together on the Snow Tour. It is also the first tour since the 2021 Trick Tour to not include any new gliders, though like that tour, it introduced a new Dozer Dasher variant, the Ice Dozer, as the only new kart. Additionally the 2-Player Challenge, which was previously on the Mario Tour and the Wedding Tour, made a return.

Despite the Summertime Celebration event ending on the previous tour, the Mario vs. Peach Tour, the event-exclusive better rewards and Tour Multiplayer Challenges are being permanently added from this tour onwards.

This tour's Coin Rush course is RMX Vanilla Lake 1, which makes this tour the first non-city tour to not reuse a Coin Rush course since the Snow Tour twelve tours prior. The menu's background features the icy hills from the Vanilla Lake courses as the landmark of this tour.

Starting from this tour, the Manta Glider is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
Sweet Daytripper

The **Sweet Daytripper** is a High-End kart in *Mario Kart Tour*. Introduced in the Peach Tour, it is the signature kart of Peach (Wedding). The kart is a red, white, and pink variant of the Daytripper, including the tires. Unlike the Daytripper, this kart increases the duration of Rocket Start boosts and the amount of points earned for performing a Rocket Start.

## Availability

The Sweet Daytripper has only appeared in certain pipes and is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The following table shows the kart's availability by tour.

The kart is a red variant of the Yellow Taxi with silver accents, a purple windshield with blue edges, blue headlights, yellow secondary lights, a gray seat, and a top sign that has three stars. Unlike the Yellow Taxi, it uses the Off-Road tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Also unlike the Yellow Taxi, the Red Taxi increases Dash Panel boost duration and the number of points earned for using Dash Panels.

Summer Tour

*Not to be confused with Summer Festival Tour*

The **Summer Tour** is the forty-seventh tour of *Mario Kart Tour*, which begins on June 30, 2021 and will end on July 13, 2021. This tour features the return of Cheep-Cheep Island from *Mario Kart: Super Circuit* as a new classic course, making this the first tour to introduce a classic course to the game since the Snow Tour nine tours prior. This tour also introduces a variant of Daisy wearing a swimsuit similar to that of Rosalina (Swimwear). Starting from this tour, the Summertime Celebration event began, which adds new Multiplayer and unique Challenges and includes new rewards, including Blue Koopa (Freerunning) as a high-ranking ranked cup reward.

"THIS IS HARD TO KEEP UP WITH!!"*This article may be outdated. You can help the Mario Kart Tour Wiki by keeping it updated!.*

## Shop

### Purchasable?

Has items for purchase, not available to purchase the mechanic itself

### Use

To purchase items with either game currency or real life currency (purchasing rubies)

In Mario Kart Tour, the shop consists of 6 sections. Items from the shop can be bought with **Tokens, Coins** and **Rubies.**

## Spotlight Shop

The **Spotlight Shop** was introduced in the Battle Tour as a replacement for purchasing Pipes. Instead of hoping for a Spotlight driver, kart or glider, users could now buy their desired item with rubies (just like the pipe). Spotlight items are available for one week, then switching for the second half of the current Tour. There is also a **Daily Spotlight Shop** in which the stock changes out everyday. Players can buy each item up to three times for the costs of 150 rubies (drivers) and 100 rubies (karts and gliders).

Until the Anniversary Tour, the pipe section was available in the shop. A pipe contained a determined amount of Normal, Super, and High-End items, plus featured items. The items were not ordered, so each item, including the featured ones, could be potentially found in any placement within the pipe. The player could reset the pipe at any moment. A new pipe was introduced each week and, since the 2019 Halloween Tour, the pipes lasted until the end of the tour.

## Mii Racing Suit Shop

Introduced in the 2022 Mii Tour, the Mii Racing Suit section consists of 10 different Mii Racing Suits. The player can buy each Mii Racing Suit up to three times for the cost of 100 rubies. However, the first purchase of each Mii Racing Suit is 30% off (70 rubies).
Luigi

* Luigi
* Penguin Luigi
* Luigi (Lederhosen)
* Builder Luigi
* Luigi (Classic)
* Luigi (Painter)
* Luigi (Golf)

**Luigi** is Mario's slightly younger, taller fraternal twin brother and the deuteragonist of the *Mario* franchise. Throughout his life, he has lived in Mario's shadow, developing both cowardly and heroic tendencies. Despite this, Luigi has helped and fought alongside his brother on many occasions. *Mario Bros.* marks his first appearance in the *Mario* franchise and his debut in general. Originally an exact copy, then palette swap of Mario, Luigi was created to facilitate a second-player option. Since the two-player mode was dropped from most main *Super Mario* games beginning with *Super Mario Land*, Luigi has gained his own identity and personality, becoming a co-starring character of the *Mario* franchise. This is especially noticeable in installments for the *Luigi's Mansion* and the *Mario & Luigi* series of games. Luigi's notable traits include his green cap, his smooth mustache, his cowardly personality, his Italian accent, his heavy use of power-ups, and a superior jumping ability to Mario.

### Mario Kart Tour

He reappears in a playable role yet again in *Mario Kart Tour*, where he was made available since the 2019 Halloween Tour as a Super character; like his brother and Metal Mario, the Fire Flower reappears as Luigi's special item.

Peach vs Bowser Tour (November - December 2022)

The Peach vs. Bowser Tour was the eighty-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on November 30, 2022 and ended on December 13, 2022. This tour was the ninth to feature a Team Rally event, pitting Team Peach against Team Bowser, making this the second instance of two teams from a previous Team Rally going against each other for the second time (the first being the 2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour). This was the second instance of two tours in the same year having the same name, after the two Sydney Tours in 2021, as well as the first instance of a Team Rally sharing its name with another one that occurred in the same year.

Unlike the first Peach vs. Bowser Tour, Team Peach, which ended up with 51% of the team tokens, won this Team Rally event, marking this as Team Peach's third win in a Team Rally, meaning that Team Peach has the most wins out of all other teams.

This tour introduced Peach Gardens from Mario Kart DS as a classic course, coinciding with the course's inclusion in Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (making this the first tour to introduce a DS race course since the Pirate Tour sixty tours prior introducing DS Airship Fortress). It also introduced a new route for the Amsterdam Drift course (named Amsterdam Drift 3), making Amsterdam Drift the first city course to have its three layouts introduced in the same year.

This tour marked the first instance of a Team Rally featuring two bonus challenges that would normally appear outside of a Team Rally, namely Big Reverse Race at 3DS Mario Circuit (which was previously used in the Tokyo Tour) and Vs. Mega featuring Bowser Jr. (Pirate) at DS Airship Fortress (which was previously used in the Pirate Tour and 2021 Trick Tour). Due to the inability to collect team tokens in bonus challenges, team medals did not appear next to the drivers on the selection screen.

This tour's Coin Rush course was GBA Bowser's Castle 3, and the menu's background featured tulip fields and windmills from Amsterdam Drift 3 as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the Amsterdam Tour.
The Pico

**The Pico** (Rattus Piconicus) is a type of rodent with hematophagous habits. This large rat was only identified at the end of the 19th century (when the first Pico was created by Oliver Hofmeier). In addition to the blood of other animals, it is strongly attracted to the sap of some roots, particularly the Mandragora Forgotteniensis. Jimmy Larson also owned one as a child, indicating they were viewed as an equivalent to hamsters or other pet rodents at that point.
Space Tour (2023)

The Space Tour was the eighty-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on January 11, 2023 and ended on January 24, 2023. It featured the introduction and classic course debut of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart Wii and brought back every Rainbow Road introduced so far, including RMX Rainbow Road 1 and RMX Rainbow Road 2. It also introduced other space-themed items, including variants of Toad and Toadette in astronaut suits based on the Toads that appear in the background of Rainbow Road and 3DS Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It was the first tour to include a white background at the end of its trailer, as all prior tours starting from the 2020 Yoshi Tour utilized a black background for their trailers.

During the first half of the tour, players could receive the newly introduced Toadette (Astronaut) and Pink Toad (Pit Crew) as rewards for placing high in the ranked cup, while the second half of the tour featured the new Gold Lunar Cruiser as a ranked reward.

The Coin Rush course for this tour was SNES Rainbow Road, which was previously used in the beta test, the Tokyo Tour, and the Ninja Tour. The menu's background featured Earth and various celestial bodies from Wii Rainbow Road as the landmark for this tour.

The Flea-Spider

Of unknown origin, theArachnide Pulxis, or **Flea-Spider** of Forgotten Hill has characteristics that usually belong to the arachnid or the sifonacteria: 8 hairy legs that secrete paralyzing poison and an extreme agility with which it reaches the host where it can lay up to 20 eggs a day. Given its rarity, captured specimens are often displayed as trophies.

Ethan McMillan had an affinity for the creature, using its likeness to create his Colonel mask.
Festival Girl

The **Festival Girl** is a High-End kart in *Mario Kart Tour*. It was introduced in the Summer Festival Tour and is the signature kart of Daisy (Yukata). The kart is a variant of the Birthday Girl based off Daisy (Yukata)'s outfit, with blue bows, an orange body, and a flower on the left side of the front bow as well as at the center of the rear bow. Unlike the Birthday Girl, it uses the Karp Kart's tires. Also unlike the Birthday Girl, this kart extends the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and increases the amount of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

Bowser Tour (2022)

The Bowser Tour was the seventy-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 24, 2022 and ended on September 6, 2022. Being themed around Bowser, the tour featured Meowser and Dr. Bowser in the first week's spotlight pipe, while the new courses introduced in this tour were Bowser's Castle 3 from Mario Kart: Super Circuit and a remix version of the GBA Bowser's Castle courses titled RMX Bowser's Castle 1 (the first non-SNES RMX course), making this tour the first to introduce both a classic course and a remix course, the first tour since the Hammer Bro Tour sixty-three tours prior to debut two non-city courses, and the first tour since the Kamek Tour twenty-six tours prior to debut a remix course. Two more courses in this tour are themed around Bowser: GBA Bowser's Castle 1 and 3DS Neo Bowser City. The tour also introduced Bowser- and Dry Bowser-themed Mii Racing Suits, with the former marking all Mario-themed Mii Suits from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being present in the game as of this tour. Both suits have the Bowser's Shell special skill, making this the first time a driver with said skill was introduced in a tour since Bowser Jr. in the Tokyo Tour, the game's second tour. The menu's background featured the mountains from the GBA Bowser's Castle courses and RMX Bowser's Castle 1 as the landmark for this tour.

Starting from this tour, the Sneeker kart is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

Of the tours that show short preview shots of the featured course at the start of their trailers, this is the first and only tour where only one shot is shown instead of two.
Peachette

> "Just like a Princess!"
>
> -Peachette

**Peachette** is a unique form of Toadette, obtained by grabbing the Super Crown in *New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe*. Upon obtaining the Super Crown to transform, she highly resembles Princess Peach, but with a different dress sporting a mushroom-like appearance, a Toad cap-like crown, gray irises, pigtails, a magenta ribbon with a yellow brooch, and Toad-like shoes. She first appeared in Mario Kart Tour through the New York Tour.

## History

### *New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (debut)*

Peachette first appeared in *New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe*. In this form, Toadette is able to Double Jump in midair, and can also perform Peach's Floating Jump from *Super Mario Run*. If Toadette performs a Spin Jump in this form, she also jumps much higher than normal. Peachette functions similarly to the Flying Squirrel form, however, Toadette in this form cannot cling to walls. She also gets boosted out of any pits, lava, or poison that she falls into, though this can happen only once. If Peachette tries this twice in a row, she will fall into the hazard and lose a life.

### *Mario Kart Tour*

Peachette is playable in *Mario Kart Tour* (marking her debut in the *Mario Kart* series), as a separate character from Toadette. She is one of the three starter characters in the game, with the other two being Toad and Toadette, and the only one that is a High-End driver. If Peachette is not given as the player's starting character, she is available as an unlockable High-End character instead. Her special item is the Mushroom Cannon, continuously shooting mushrooms from the front of her kart for her and the other racers to pick up. She was given out for subscribers of the Gold Pass in both the Halloween and London Tours. Like most characters, she has her own cup.

Peachette's voice was given a major change in this game. Originally, in *New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe*, her voice sounded exactly like Peach; this time, her voice is a unique mixture of both Peach and Toadette.

Coin Rush

*“Grab the coins!”*
—**In-game tagline**
**Coin Rush** is a mode found in *Mario Kart Tour*. The objective of this mode is to collect as many coins as possible while racing as Gold Mario in the Gold Standard. While playing as Gold Mario, driving close enough to any coins will have them automatically be drawn closer to the player. Each course typically has around 400 coins to collect, and occasionally item boxes can be found as well. This is the only mode in *Mario Kart Tour* that allows the player to use Gold Mario and the Gold Standard.

The following is a list of Coin Rush challenges by course.

Luigi Cup

The Luigi Cup is one of the cups in Mario Kart Tour. Courses in this cup are treated as Luigi's favored or favorite courses.

## List of courses

*1* - The course's name erroneously shows as "RMX Mario Circuit 1X" on the cup selection, but switches to "RMX Mario Circuit 1T" when the player chooses their driver, kart, and glider and during the course introduction. This was fixed in the 2.0.0 update.
Mii

Red Mii Suit

Miis are digital avatars that appear in the Mii Channel, Mii Maker, StreetPass Mii Plaza, Miiverse, and various other Mii-centered games and applications. Miis get their name from how the word "me" would be written in rōmaji, in the same way that the Wii gets its name from a similar spelling of "we." Miis are based off of human beings, and players can design what their Miis look like and use them in compatible games.

Shigeru Miyamoto (creator of the Mario franchise) had wanted to create digital avatars for Nintendo consoles since the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and kept trying to create them with every system released, such as the Nintendo 64DD add-on and Nintendo DS.

Players can start from scratch or create a Mii from an existing template Mii. Only 100 Miis fit in one Wii console, while each individual Wii Remote can hold ten Miis. They can also be created on the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and the Nintendo Switch, as well as through the smartphone application "Miitomo". They can be created either from scratch or from a photo, using Mii Maker, where they can be edited as well. Also, they can be made into QR Codes, to be scanned from another Nintendo 3DS, or a Wii U. Each 3DS and Switch system can have up to 100 Miis, and each Wii U system can have up to 3,000 Miis.

On May 24, 2018, Nintendo introduced a browser-based Mii editor called Mii Studio. The editor is available for all Nintendo Account/My Nintendo users in all regions. Mii Studio supports all Mii attributes and standards introduced for the Nintendo Switch. Up to six Mii avatars can be created at a time, including any Mii imported from a linked Nintendo Network ID.

## Mii Racing Suits

There are 35 Waves of Mii Racing Suits (as of June. 2023)

*1* - This Mii Racing Suit has one or several unique in-game animations.

## Trivia

* There are 42 Miis as of the start of the Doctor Tour (2023)
* Miis can only be bought or recieved, they cannot be obtained from the Pipe
