Frost Tour

The Frost Tour was the fiftieth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 11, 2021 and ended on August 24, 2021. This tour introduced a new remix course based on the Vanilla Lake tracks from Super Mario Kart named RMX Vanilla Lake 1, being the first tour to introduce a new remix course since the Peach vs. Daisy Tour thirteen tours prior, as well as introducing Penguin Mario from New Super Mario Bros. Wii as a new driver, while also bringing back Penguin Luigi and Penguin Toad on the second spotlight pipe since their last pipe appearance together in the Snow Tour. It is also the first tour since the 2021 Trick Tour to not include any new gliders, though like that tour, it introduced a new Dozer Dasher variant, the Ice Dozer, as the only new kart. Additionally the 2-Player Challenge, which was previously on the 2021 Mario Tour and the Wedding Tour, made a return.

Despite the Summertime Celebration event ending on the previous tour, the Mario vs. Peach Tour, the event-exclusive better rewards and Tour Multiplayer Challenges are being permanently added from this tour onwards.

This tour's Coin Rush course is RMX Vanilla Lake 1, which makes this tour the first non-city tour to not reuse a Coin Rush course since the Snow Tour twelve tours prior. The menu's background features the icy hills from the Vanilla Lake courses as the landmark of this tour. This tour's trailer featured the background encased in ice during its opening splash screen.

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