The Halloween Tour was the twenty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on October 21, 2020, and ended on November 3, 2020. It was the first tour to have the same title as a previous tour, while also being the first tour to introduce a course from Mario Kart Wii, namely Maple Treeway, which acted as the signature course of the tour. This Halloween Tour introduced three new driver variants: Mario and Peach in Halloween costumes, the former of which originates from a Halloween-themed HOME Menu theme for the Nintendo 3DS and previously appeared in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, and a gold variant of King Boo. For the duration of the tour, the Lakitu referee also wore a Halloween costume, and in a similar fashion to the festive trees and kadomatsu, Jack-o'-lanterns were scattered throughout the courses in the tour and granted "Trick or treat!" bonus points when hit. The menu's background featured the large tree from Maple Treeway as the landmark for this tour. This tour's trailer featured Jack-o'-lanterns during its opening splash screen.[2]
Starting with this tour, the Tier Shop was introduced (which was added in version 2.6.0 but not implemented prior to this tour), where more items are available depending on the player's tier and change every week. Also starting with this tour, the first and third cups are always ranked cups.
