Los Angeles Tour (2021)

The Los Angeles Tour was the forty-eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 14, 2021 and ended on July 27, 2021. It was the sixth tour to have the same title as a previous tour and the second city tour to do so after the 2021 Paris Tour. The tour introduced a new layout of the Los Angeles Laps course (which is the very first variation of a city course where the starting line is in a different area than its first variant), named Los Angeles Laps 3, while also introducing a new variant of Mario in his baseball uniform and helmet from Super Mario Odyssey. Funky Kong and Mario (Sunshine) returned in the second spotlight after they were previously featured in the spotlights in the 2020 Los Angeles Tour and the Banana Pipe in the 2021 Yoshi Tour. This was the first tour since the 2020 Yoshi Tour to introduce only similar-looking gliders, being the Home-Field Glider and Gold Home-Field Glider, and the first overall to introduce only similar-looking karts, being the Pinch Hitter and Cleanup Hitter.

This tour continued the Summertime Celebration event that started on the previous tour, the Summer Tour; like that tour, it added new Multiplayer and unique Challenges.

This tour's Coin Rush course was N64 Kalimari Desert, which was reused from the Wild West Tour. The menu's background featured the baseball stadium and two palm trees from Los Angeles Laps 3 as the landmark for this tour.

This was the last tour to feature the fifth set of Expert Challenges, which started in the Bowser vs. DK Tour.
