The Sky Tour was the sixty-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on February 23, 2022 and ended on March 8, 2022. As its name suggests, it introduced a newly remade Sky Garden from Mario Kart: Super Circuit as a classic course after its last appearance in Mario Kart DS. This tour also introduced a variant of Mario donning his aviator helmet and outfit from Super Mario Odyssey. Kamek, Peach (Halloween), and Rosalina (Halloween) returned as spotlight drivers for the second week of the tour, along with variants of Kamek's Zoom Broom as the spotlight karts.
This tour concluded the Winter Celebration event that began in the Wario vs. Waluigi Tour. In addition to retaining the Winter Challenges, the tour featured a set of Winter Multiplayer Challenges that rewarded Black Yoshi upon completion, which would last until the following tour, the 2022 Mii Tour, as well as another new driver, Light-blue Shy Guy, as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups. This tour was also the first tour to include two Glider Challenges, and the second one after the 1st Anniversary Tour to have only one Time Trial challenge instead of two or three.
This tour's Coin Rush course was RMX Mario Circuit 1, which was reused from the Mario Bros. Tour and the 2021 Mario Tour. The menu's background featured some beanstalks and a Toad House from GBA Sky Garden as the landmark for this tour. Up until the release of Version 2.12.0, the title screen image for this tour was changed to represent Team Waluigi's victory over Team Wario during the Wario vs. Waluigi Tour. After downloading the update, the title screen would feature artwork of Mario and Miis in Pipe Frames in celebration of the 2022 Mii Tour until the 2022 Yoshi Tour. The Sky Tour's trailer features clouds during its opening splash screen.[2]
Starting from this tour, Captain Toad and Bowser Jr. (Pirate) are available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
