Battle Tour

The Battle Tour is the eightieth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which begins on October 5, 2022 and ends on October 18, 2022.

As the tour's name indicates, it introduces Battle Mode as a new playable mode, with Balloon Battle being the first confirmed playable mode, and GCN Cookie Land and GBA Battle Course 1 being the first battle courses (both of which are also seen in the App Store’s version 3.0.0 update trailer. The tour is also heavily food-themed, introducing Luigi in a chef outfit and several food-themed karts and gliders. In addition to the new Battle Mode content, a new course based off of the Donut Plains courses from Super Mario Kart debuts in this tour.

The Autumn Celebration event begins in this tour. The event will last for three tours for the first time since the Winter Celebration in the Wario vs. Waluigi, 2022 Los Angeles, and Sky Tours, and will end in an upcoming tour. This is also the first time a new event begins immediately after a previous one had ended.

Starting from this tour, the maximum player level has been increased to level 400, the maximum tier has been increased to 99, the maximum grade has been increased to S+9, and the base-point cap for drivers, karts, and gliders has been increased.

This is the first tour to not have the regular weekly pipes that can be fired by rubies and contain spotlight items, which have been replaced by the new Spotlight Shop introduced in this tour, including the removal of the spotlight items in the regular weekly pipe being raised to a higher shelf in the second or third course of cups during their featured tour, making Mii Racing Suits and commemorative items the only ones that can be raised to a higher shelf.

The eleventh set of Expert Challenges will be made available at the start of this tour and will end in a later tour.
