Ninja Tour (2023)

The Ninja Tour was the ninety-second tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on March 22, 2023 and ended on April 4, 2023. As the name implies, the tour featured the return of Ninja Hideaway. It also featured the classic course debut of Dry Dry Ruins from Mario Kart Wii.

This tour marked the first appearance of the Baby Mario Cup since the Wario vs. Waluigi Tour, thirty tours prior, the first reappearance of N64 Koopa Troopa Beach since the 2022 Cat Tour, twenty-one tours prior, and the first tour to include a non-R/T variant of DS Waluigi Pinball since the Samurai Tour one year prior. This tour was also the third tour in a row to debut no High-End drivers other than Mii Racing Suits.

The Spring Celebration event began in this tour and will run for three consecutive tours, ending in the Spring Tour.

The Coin Rush course for this tour was 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar, which was reused from the 2019 Holiday Tour and the Sunset Tour. The menu's background featured Ninja Manor as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2021 Ninja Tour and the Samurai Tour.

The twelfth set of Expert Challenges, which was made available in the 2023 New Year's Tour, lasted until the end of 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. Items marked with an asterisk (*) do not appear in the Daily Spotlight during the week they are available as Spotlight Shop banner items.

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 Waluigi Pinball in the Mii Cup using the Pokey 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.
