<< List of tours >>

The Los Angeles Tour was the forty-eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 14, 2021 and ended on July 27, 2021. The tour introduced a new layout of the Los Angeles Laps course, named Los Angeles Laps 3 (which actually the second layout of the course), while also introducing a new variant of Mario in his baseball uniform and helmet from Super Mario Odyssey. Funky Kong and Mario (Sunshine) returned in the second spotlight after they were previously featured in the spotlights in the 2020 Los Angeles Tour and the Banana Pipe in the 2021 Yoshi Tour. This was the first tour since the 2020 Yoshi Tour thirty-three tours prior to introduce only similar-looking gliders, being the Home-Field Glider and Gold Home-Field Glider, and the first overall to introduce only similar-looking karts, being the Pinch Hitter and Cleanup Hitter. This was the first tour since the Jungle Tour thirty tours prior to include the Lemmy Cup.

This tour continued the Summertime Celebration event that started on the previous tour, the 2021 Summer Tour; like that tour, it added new Multiplayer and unique Challenges.

This tour's Coin Rush course was N64 Kalimari Desert, which was reused from the Wild West Tour. The menu's background featured the baseball stadium and two palm trees from Los Angeles Laps 3 as the landmark for this tour.

This was the last tour to feature the fifth set of Expert Challenges, which started in the Bowser vs. DK Tour.
