The Summer Tour was the forty-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on June 30, 2021 and ended on July 13, 2021. This tour featured the return of Cheep-Cheep Island from Mario Kart: Super Circuit as a new classic course, making this the first tour to introduce a classic course to the game since the Snow Tour nine tours prior. This tour also introduced a variant of Daisy wearing a swimsuit similar to that of Rosalina (Swimwear), who returned alongside Mario (Swimwear) in the week 2 pipe again since their last pipe appearance together on the April–May 2021 Sydney Tour, with the difference being the gliders Silver Manta Glider and Great Sail.

Starting from this tour, the Summertime Celebration event began, which added new Multiplayer and unique Challenges and included new and improved tour rewards, including the newly introduced Blue Koopa (Freerunning) as a high-ranking ranked cup reward. Additionally, for the duration of the event the Lakitu referee also wore a summer-themed outfit. The event lasted for three consecutive tours, ending in the Mario vs. Peach Tour.

This tour's Coin Rush course was 3DS Daisy Hills, which was reused from the Flower Tour. The menu's background featured some rocks with a lighthouse and a house from GBA Cheep-Cheep Island as the landmark for this tour. This tour's trailer featured rising fizz bubbles during its opening splash screen.
