The Ninja Tour is a tour of Mario Kart Tour. It originally occurred from March 22, 2023 through April 4, 2023 as the game's ninety-second tour, being rerun in the subsequent years.
As the name implies, the tour featured the return of Ninja Hideaway. It also featured the classic course debut of Dry Dry Ruins from Mario Kart Wii.
This tour marked the first appearance of the Baby Mario Cup since the Wario vs. Waluigi Tour, thirty tours prior, the first reappearance of N64 Koopa Troopa Beach since the 2022 Cat Tour, twenty-one tours prior, and the first tour to include a non-R/T variant of DS Waluigi Pinball since the Samurai Tour one year prior. This tour was also the third tour in a row to debut no High-End drivers other than Mii Racing Suits.
The Spring Celebration event began in this tour and ran for three consecutive tours, ending in the Spring Tour.
The Coin Rush course for this tour was 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar, which was reused from the 2019 Holiday Tour and the Sunset Tour. The menu's background featured Ninja Manor as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2021 Ninja Tour and the Samurai Tour.
The twelfth set of Expert Challenges, which was made available in the 2023 New Year's Tour, lasted until the end of this tour.
Beginning with this tour, every tour would feature a teaser by the official Mario Kart Tour social media accounts the day before its reveal, though most of these teasers only reveal new courses, while only few of them also tease new characters, like older teasers.
