Yoshi Tour (2023)

The Yoshi Tour is the ninety-third tour of Mario Kart Tour, which begins on April 5, 2023 and ends on April 18, 2023. The tour introduces Yoshi's Island, which first appeared in Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, and the classic course debut of Yoshi Desert from Mario Kart: Super Circuit as new courses as well as the R/T variant of N64 Yoshi Valley. In addition to the Yoshi's Island course being themed around the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island game, many other Yoshi franchise items are also introduced in this tour, including Poochy's first playable appearance in the Mario Kart series and a Yoshi Cookie-themed glider. The introduction of Poochy makes this the first tour since the Piranha Plant Tour to introduce a brand new driver, as well as the first tour since the 2022 Los Angeles Tour over a year prior to introduce a new character to the Mario Kart series. This is the first tour since Super Mario Kart Tour to include different ending music after the trailer's music, which is an arrangement of the "Goal & Score" fanfare from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This is also the first tour since the Sundae Tour, 17 tours prior, to not introduce any new gold item.

The Spring Celebration event that began in the previous tour continues through this tour.

The thirteenth set of Expert Challenges begins in this tour. Extreme Challenges also debut in this tour.
