Summer Festival Tour

The Summer Festival Tour was the twenty-fifth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 26, 2020 and ended on September 8, 2020. Reflecting its theme, the tour introduced a variant of Daisy in a yukata outfit and a new layout of Tokyo Blur known as Tokyo Blur 3, as well as the return of Tokyo Blur and Tokyo Blur 2, which was likely due to the city's reputation of hosting summer festivals nearly every year. It was the first tour since the Baby Rosalina Tour, which was twelve tours prior, to feature a course from a real-life location, as well as the first tour overall to see the return of past real-life city courses. This is the second tour to introduce a new version of a city course in the same year as another one, with the first being the 2019 Holiday Tour eighteen tours prior.

The second set of Expert Challenges were made available at the start of the tour, which then ended on the Sunset Tour.
