- This article is about the tour that took place to celebrate the year 2020. For the similarly named tour that took place to celebrate the year 2021, see New Year's 2021 Tour.
The New Year's Tour was the eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on January 1, 2020 and ended on January 14, 2020. The tour celebrated the new year of 2020 and featured Mario in his happi from Super Mario Odyssey and Toad in a celebratory costume as spotlight characters. Similar to the festive trees in the previous three tours, kadomatsu were added throughout many of the courses; hitting one with an item during a race granted "Happy New Year!" bonus points. The 10 daily log-in bonuses for this tour rewarded the player with 5 rubies each day, for a total of 50 rubies. The menu's background featured Mount Fuji, the Tokyo Tower, and Kaminarimon as landmarks for this tour.

Signature kart sets[edit]
Drivers with a corresponding cup in the tour were bumped one rank up in every course of their cup. Each one had a specific kart and glider pair that were also bumped one rank up, though these sometimes changed between tours. This was the last tour to use set karts and gliders.
