The New Year's 2021 Tour is the thirty-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 30, 2020 and ended on January 12, 2021. Hence the name, the tour celebrates the new year of 2021. A new remix variation of SNES Rainbow Road, called RMX Rainbow Road 2, is introduced in this tour, while the Lakitu referee in his New Year's outfit worn since the 2020 Winter Tour became a playable High-End driver in the game, alongside Pauline (Party Time) and Toad (Party Time) as the spotlight drivers for the first week. Additionally, every alternate variant of Mario (only excluding Mario (Musician) and Mario (Santa)) return as the spotlight drivers of the second week. The menu's background featured the four bouncy mushrooms from RMX Rainbow Road 2 as the landmark for this tour.

Starting from January 1, 2021, kadomatsu have been added to every course. Unlike the 2020 New Year's Tour, hitting the kadomatsu does not award the player with points.

Similarly to the 1st Anniversary Tour, there are special bonus challenges called New Year's Challenges that award players with rubies upon completing a challenge.
