Halloween Tour (2022)

The Halloween Tour is the eighty-first tour of Mario Kart Tour, which begins on October 19, 2022 and ends on November 1, 2022. It marks the first instance of four tours sharing the same name.

Complementing the Halloween theme of the tour, many Halloween-themed drivers return as spotlights, while several ghost-themed tracks are introduced, including Boo Lake from Mario Kart: Super Circuit making its series debut as a classic course. Donut Plains 3 from Super Mario Kart also returns after appearing in Mario Kart 8, Twilight House from Mario Kart DS returns as a battle course, and the R/T variant of Ghost Valley 2 makes its debut. The Streetle from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe returns as a kart in this game, marking the first time any non-Mario-related content (including characters, karts, gliders, or courses) appears in the game, as the Streetle is designed after the beetles from the Animal Crossing series.

The Autumn Celebration event that started in the previous tour continues into this tour. This tour introduces the second set of Autumn Challenges cards, which rewards Captain Toad for completing all challenges on the card, in addition to finishing the Autumn Challenges 1 card from the previous tour. In addition, players can earn a golden variant of Petey Piranha (dubbed "Petey Piranha (Gold)") as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups, and they can also earn the newly introduced Red Vampire Flyer.

This is the first tour to feature a bonus challenge that has been featured in four other tours before this tour, being the Glider Challenge in the Peach Cup. This is also the first tour to debut a classic course alongside its R/T variant.

This tour's Coin Rush course is DS Luigi's Mansion, which is reused from the 2019 Halloween Tour and the Cooking Tour. The menu's background features the mansion from Boo Lake as the landmark for this tour.

Daily Spotlight
The Daily Spotlight contains a mixture of items themed around the tour, items that have ranked tracks as favorites, and gold items. The rates listed are specific for that type of item; drivers, karts, and gliders are selected separately.

Today's Challenge
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favorite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in DS Luigi's Mansion T in the Mii Cup using the Dry Bones Mii Racing Suit 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.

This is notably the first tour to reuse a badge for the Today's Challenge, as the badge for this tour's Today's Challenge is reused from the 2021 Halloween Tour.

Rewards
Gold cells indicate rewards that are exclusive to Gold Pass members.

Gold Pipe
The Gold Pipe, including the All-Clear Pipe, randomly shoots out one of the following regular High-End items. The appearance rate can be viewed via the "Pipe content" link on the Gold Pass purchase screen.

Token Shop
The limited-time event where event tokens appear began on October 19, 2022 and ended on November 1, 2022. Event tokens could be earned by causing opponents to crash and by hitting Jack-o'-lanterns.

Tier Shop
The shop features a variety of set and randomized items available for purchase. The item slots in the shop are unlocked based on the highest tier of players. Starting from this tour, drivers, karts, and gliders are no longer offered in the Tier Shop.
