Bowser Tour (2022)

The Bowser Tour is the seventy-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 24, 2022 and ends on September 6, 2022. Being themed around Bowser, the tour features Meowser and Dr. Bowser in the first week's spotlight pipe, while the new courses introduced in this tour are Bowser's Castle 3 from Mario Kart: Super Circuit and a remix version of the GBA Bowser's Castle courses titled RMX Bowser's Castle 1 (the first non-SNES RMX course), making this tour the first to introduce both a classic course and a remix course, the first tour since the Hammer Bro Tour 63 tours prior to debut two non-city courses and the first tour since the Kamek Tour 26 tours prior to debut a RMX course. The tour also introduces Bowser- and Dry Bowser-themed Mii Racing Suits, with the former marking all Mario-themed Mii Suits from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being present in the game as of this tour. Both suits have the Bowser's Shell special skill, making this the first time a driver with said skill was introduced in a tour since Bowser Jr. in the Tokyo Tour, the game's second tour.

Starting from this tour, the Sneeker kart is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

During this tour, assets indicating a potential Mario vs. Luigi Tour rematch were found. It is unknown if this is for the next tour, another tour in the future, or simply a placeholder.

On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in RMX Choco Island 1 in the Mii Cup using Pink Gold Peach for a free pipe launch. Starting from day 2, players have to finish a race in the earliest incomplete course that is not in any of the ranked cups using the driver shown on the course's thumbnail every day to obtain the corresponding reward in the table below. Once all of the courses are completed, the courses are selected at random.
