The Anniversary Tour was the seventy-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on September 21, 2022 and ended on October 4, 2022. This tour celebrated three years since the release of Mario Kart Tour on September 25, 2019; however, unlike the 1st and 2nd Anniversary Tours, this tour's name did not contain a number representing the anniversary it celebrated.
This tour marked the end of the two-tour event celebrating the third anniversary of Mario Kart Tour that started in the previous tour. This tour featured an upgraded Token Shop that included items like Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, the Wild Wing, and three golden pipes. This tour also introduced the second set of two 3rd Anniversary Challenges cards in addition to continuing the 3 Year Anniv. Log-In Bonus and the 3rd Anniversary Challenges 1 card from the previous tour.[2]
Like the 2nd Anniversary Tour and Metropolitan Tour, only city courses appeared in the tour. This tour also introduced new routes for both Sydney Sprint and Berlin Byways, named Sydney Sprint 3 and Berlin Byways 3 respectively, the former of which was previously seen in the course's appearance in the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It also introduced the R/T variants of both Amsterdam Drift 2 and Singapore Speedway 2, which debuted in the Metropolitan Tour and Ocean Tour, respectively. With the introduction of these courses, this was the first tour since the Samurai Tour thirteen tours prior to introduce new R/T variants, the first tour in the game to introduce the R/T variants of multiple city courses, and the first tour since the Ice Tour seventy tours prior to introduce both multiple new courses and multiple R/T variants simultaneously. It also features the return of Tokyo Blur, Berlin Byways 2, Los Angeles Laps 3, and Sydney Sprint 2. This was also the only tour to feature the T variants of Berlin Byways 3 and Sydney Sprint 3.
Despite the new courses not being related to London or Britain, and the tour not including returning London Loop tracks, the new vehicles are a variant of the Double-Decker and a kart based on a Hackney carriage, in addition to a new variant of Mario, where he is in his King's Crown and King's Outfit from Super Mario Odyssey.
This was the last tour to feature the regular week pipes which would be fired with rubies and contain spotlight items, as they were removed after this tour in favor of a Spotlight Shop that was implemented in the following tour. In addition to the removal of ruby pipes, this was the last tour where commemorative items and the spotlight items from the first and second week were raised to a higher shelf on the first, second, and third course of every cup, respectively, restricting shelf boosts after this tour to driver cups and the first course in a cup for Mii Racing Suits. This was also the last tour to have only twelve cups as the next tour would have fifteen.
This tour's Coin Rush course was Tokyo Blur, and the menu's background featured the Sydney Harbour Bridge as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the April–May 2021 and September 2021 Sydney Tours.
Despite the tenth set of Expert Challenges ending in the last tour, the eleventh set was not made available at the start of this tour and was instead made available at the start of the Battle Tour.
Starting from this tour, the Platinum Taxi and Clanky Kart are available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
