Mario Bros. Tour

The Mario Bros. Tour was the twelfth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on February 26, 2020 and ended on March 10, 2020, coincidentally ending on Mario Day. It introduced a new Mario Circuit course, RMX Mario Circuit 1, which introduces a new type of course separate from the new courses and the classic courses, as well as variants of Mario and Luigi in outfits based on their appearances and artwork for older games such as Donkey Kong (for Mario) and Super Mario Bros. 2, and similar to their appearances in the three DIC Mario cartoons, respectively. Additionally, for the first time, Mario, Luigi, and two Super karts called the Super 1 and Dasher II were made available as the first Super spotlight items. This is also the first tour to have only 50 pipe pulls in a pipe rather than the usual 100. Despite the tour being themed around RMX Mario Circuit 1, 3DS Mario Circuit acts as the tour’s signature course. The menu's background featured the hills and the block formation from World 1-1 as landmarks for this tour. This is currently the final tour to feature 18 cups, as there have been only 12 since the Baby Rosalina Tour.

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