The Mario vs. Peach Tour was the forty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 28, 2021 and ended on August 10, 2021. This tour was the fourth to feature a Team Rally event, pitting Team Mario against Team Peach, as well as being the first Team Rally to feature teams from previous tours: Team Mario from the 2020 Mario vs. Luigi Tour and Team Peach from the Peach vs. Daisy Tour, both the winners of their respective Team Rally tours. This tour also introduced a variant of Peach in a happi coat similar to that of Mario (Happi), and, in a similar fashion to the Summer Festival Tour twenty-four tours prior, marked the return of all four Tokyo Blur courses, in addition to Ninja Hideaway. The tour also introduced R/T variants of Ninja Hideaway and Tokyo Blur 3, the only new courses added in the tour. Additionally, this was the fourth tour to have two special pipes, and the second Team Rally tour to do so following the Bowser vs. DK Tour. Starting from this Team Rally, the trailer features a different text in the intro splash, simply reading "Team Rally" instead of its tour's name due to its length.[2] However, the tour's name is shown at the end of the trailer.[2] This was also the first tour to feature the Premium Challenges+.
Team Peach, which ended up with 52% of the team tokens, won this Team Rally event. This was the first time the second team won the Team Rally event. The title screen of the game was changed to one featuring the team's victor for the Kamek Tour only.
Unlike previous Team Rally tours, each team's score was based on points rather than solely on team tokens collected, with one team token being equal to one point for the chosen team. Every day, the losing team's tokens were worth double points as part of a new Support Bonus. A cooperative campaign was launched during this tour in which all of the game's players worked together to collect as many team points for both teams.
This tour ended the Summertime Celebration event that started two tours prior in the 2021 Summer Tour. In addition to keeping the Summertime Challenges introduced in the previous two tours, the event added better rewards on the Token Shop, which included Mario (Hakama) and Peach (Kimono).
This tour's Coin Rush course was Tokyo Blur 2, which was reused from the 2020 New Year's Tour. The menu's background featured Mount Fuji, the Tokyo Tower, and Kaminarimon as the landmarks for this tour, which were reused from the Tokyo Tour, the 2020 New Year's Tour, the Summer Festival Tour, and the 2021 Mario Tour.
The sixth set of Expert Challenges was made available at the start of this tour, which has ended on the 2021 Autumn Tour.
Starting from this tour, Birdo (Black), the Wild Pink, and the Black Great Sail are all available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
Both this tour and the 1st Anniversary Tour featured five new courses, the second largest number in a single tour. Also like that tour, the tour featured thirty-five unique courses, including variants; the only recurring track was Ninja Hideaway R/T.
