Space Tour (2023)

The Space Tour is the eighty-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on January 11, 2023 and ends on January 24, 2023. It features the introduction and classic course debut of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart Wii as well as bringing back every Rainbow Road introduced so far, including RMX Rainbow Road 1 and RMX Rainbow Road 2. It also introduces other space-themed items, including variants of Toad and Toadette in astronaut suits based on the Toads that appear in the background of Rainbow Road and in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This is the first tour to include a white background at the end of its trailer.

The Coin Rush course for this tour is SNES Rainbow Road, which was previously the case in both the Tokyo Tour and the Ninja Tour. The menu's background features Earth and various celestial bodies from Wii Rainbow Road as the landmark for this tour.

Daily Spotlight
The Daily Spotlight contains a mixture of items themed around the tour, items that have ranked tracks as favorites, and gold items. The rates listed are specific for that type of item; drivers, karts, and gliders are selected separately. Items marked with an asterisk (*) do not appear in the Daily Spotlight during the week they are available as Spotlight Shop banner items.

Today's Challenge
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favorite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon in the Mii Cup using the Purple Mii Racing Suit for a free pipe launch. Starting from day 2, players have to finish a race in the earliest incomplete course that is not in any of the ranked cups using the driver shown on the course's thumbnail every day to obtain the corresponding reward in the table below. Once all of the courses are completed, the courses are selected at random.

Rewards
Gold cells indicate rewards that are exclusive to Gold Pass members.
