Super Mario Kart Tour

The Super Mario Kart Tour is the twenty-sixth tour of Mario Kart Tour that began on September 9, 2020 and will end on September 22, 2020. True to its name, the tour introduces Mario and Donkey Kong Jr. in their Super Mario Kart sprite-based appearance as new drivers, the latter making his first playable appearance in the Mario Kart series since the aforementioned game. The drivers were announced in the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct on September 3, 2020. Participating in the tour is one of the My Nintendo missions for the anniversary, with rewards including sweepstakes and a collectible pin set. A new variant of SNES Rainbow Road, named RMX Rainbow Road 1, was added as the signature course of this tour.

Signature kart sets
In every cup, the driver which the cup is themed about is raised a tier on each track, making them a three- or two-item driver on that course. Up until the Ice Tour, a kart and a glider were also given a bonus for each race in the cup.

Rewards
Gold cells indicate rewards exclusive to Gold Pass members.

Profiles

 * Mario Kart Tour Twitter:
 * "The Summer Festival Tour is wrapping up in blue. Starting Sep 8, 11 PM PT, get ready for some nostalgia with Mario (SNES) and Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES) in the blue Tour!"
 * "The new tour to celebrate the very first blue game, the Super Mario Kart Tour begins today!"

Trivia

 * The Super Mario Kart Tour Trailer video mistakenly featured the Gold Standard instead of the new Gold Pipe Frame. The Gold Standard is not in the Super Mario Kart Tour, and is instead exclusive to Coin Rush mode. The mistake was clarified in a tweet replying to the trailer's tweet and the YouTube video description.
 * Super Mario Kart Pipe 1's description says "Driver Mario (SNES) and kart 8-Bit Pipe Frame make their debut in classic 8-bit style!" This is inaccurate for Mario (SNES), as the SNES was a 16-bit console.
 * All four variants of RMX Mario Circuit 1 appeared in this tour. This is the third tour to have all four variants of a retro course or an RMX course, the first two were the Mario Bros. Tour (SNES Mario Circuit 1 and 3DS Mario Circuit) and the Jungle Tour (3DS Toad Circuit).
