2nd Anniversary Tour

The 2nd Anniversary Tour was the fifty-third tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on September 22, 2021 and ended on October 5, 2021. As the tour's name indicates, it celebrated two years since the official launch of Mario Kart Tour on September 25, 2019. This tour introduced a new layout of the New York Minute course, named New York Minute 4, and it was also the first tour to consist of only city-themed new courses, making this tour the only one to not feature any classic courses, the first to not feature any SNES courses, and the second in a row to introduce a new city course. This was also the first tour since the Hammer Bro Tour to only introduce Super drivers, being Birdo (Blue), who was available as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups alongside the Blue Turbo Birdo, making this the first tour to feature a kart as a reward for placing high in the ranked cup. The tour also featured new unique challenges, as well as an upgraded Token Shop with some half-price items. This is also the third tour to feature 35 unique courses, including variants; the only recurring track was New York Minute 4R/T.

This tour's Coin Rush course was London Loop, which was reused from the London Tour. The menu's background featured the as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2019 Holiday Tour and the 1st Anniversary Tour.
