New York Tour

The New York Tour was the first tour of Mario Kart Tour that began during the game's launch on September 25, 2019 and ended on October 8, 2019. Reflecting its theme, the tour introduced a character and course new to the Mario Kart series, Pauline and New York Minute (temporarily retitled "New York Minute 1"), as well as a variant of Mario in a musician outfit, which originated in the similarly New York-inspired Metro Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. The menu's background featured as the tour's landmark.

Signature kart sets
In every cup, the driver which the cup is themed about is a three or two star item on that course. The driver, and their specific kart and glider are bumped up one tier. This item sometimes changes between tours.
