Halloween Tour (2020)

The Halloween Tour was the twenty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on October 21, 2020 and ended on November 3, 2020. It was the first tour to have the same title as a previous tour, while also being the first tour to introduce a course from Mario Kart Wii, namely Maple Treeway, which acted as the signature course of the tour. This Halloween Tour introduced three new driver variants: Mario and Peach in Halloween costumes, the former of which originates from a Halloween-themed HOME Menu theme for the Nintendo 3DS, and a gold variant of King Boo. For the duration of the tour, the Lakitu referee also wore a Halloween costume, and in a similar fashion to the festive trees and kadomatsu, Jack-o'-lanterns were scattered throughout the courses in the tour and granted "Trick or treat!" bonus points when hit. The menu's background featured the large tree from Maple Treeway as the landmark for this tour.

Starting with this tour, the Tier Shop was introduced (which was added in version 2.6.0 but not implemented prior to this tour), where more items are available depending on the player's tier and change every week.

Signature kart sets
Drivers with a corresponding cup in the tour were bumped one rank up in every course of their cup.

Token Shop
The limited-time event where event tokens appeared began on October 25, 2020 and lasted until November 3, 2020. Event tokens could be earned from collecting in courses, as well as driving into Jack-o'-lanterns or hitting them with items.

Tier Shop
This tour was the first tour to introduce the Tier Shop after the update (to version 2.6.0) of the game. The shop featured a variety of set and randomized items available for purchase. The item slots in the shop are unlocked based on the highest tier of players.
