Mario vs. Peach Tour

The Mario vs. Peach Tour is the forty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 28, 2021 and will end on August 10, 2021. This tour is the fourth to feature a Team Rally event, pitting Team Mario against Team Peach, as well as being the first Team Rally to feature teams from previous tours—Team Mario from the Mario vs. Luigi Tour and Team Peach from the Peach vs. Daisy Tour, both coincidentally the winners of their respective Team Rally tours. This tour also introduces a variant of Peach in a coat similar to that of Mario (Happi), and, in a similar fashion to the Summer Festival Tour, marks the return of all four Tokyo Blur courses, as well as the return of Ninja Hideaway while introducing R/T variants of it and Tokyo Blur 3 as the only new courses introduced on the tour. Additionally, this is the fourth tour to have two special pipes, and the second Team Rally tour to do so since the Bowser vs. DK Tour.

Unlike previous Team Rally tours, each team's scores is based on points rather than solely on team tokens collected, with one team token being equal to one point for the chosen team. Every day, the losing team will have their score duplicated as part of a new Support Bonus.

This tour ends the Summertime Celebration event that started two tours prior in the Summer Tour. In addition to keeping the Summertime Challenges introduced in the previous two tours, the event added better rewards on the Token Shop, which included Mario (Hakama) and Peach (Kimono).

This tour's Coin Rush course is Tokyo Blur 2, which was reused from the New Year's Tour. The menu's background features, the , and as the landmarks for this tour, which were reused from the Tokyo Tour, the New Year's Tour, the Summer Festival Tour, and the Mario Tour.
