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 introduced a new variation of Tokyo Blur known as Tokyo Blur 2, while also introducing a new variant of Mario in his happi outfit from Super Mario Odyssey and Toad in a celebratory costume as spotlight characters. This tour also introduced Red Yoshi as a new driver, as well as the R/T variants of SNES Mario Circuit 2, 3DS Toad Circuit, and 3DS Neo Bowser City. 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 trailer features a text different from the tour's name, with the trailer simply reading "2020". The menu's background featured Mount Fuji, the Tokyo Tower, and Kaminarimon as landmarks for this tour.
