New Year's 2022 Tour

The New Year's 2022 Tour is the sixtieth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 29, 2021, and will end on January 11, 2022. True to its name, the tour commemorates the new year of 2022. This tour features the debut of Bowser's Castle from Mario Kart 7 as a new classic course, as well as the return and debut of various feline-themed items, including the introduction of Meowser and Cat Rosalina as new drivers. This tour is also the third one after the previous New Year's-themed tours to feature Kadomatsu scattered across courses.

This tour concludes the Holiday Celebration event that began on the 2021 Holiday Tour, which in addition to keeping the Holiday Challenges, the tour will introduce new unique challenges called the New Year's Challenges, Pauline as a completion reward on the Tour Multiplayer Challenges, Coins Aplenty and Tokens Aplenty events every day of the tour, and better rewards on the Token Shop, such as Dixie Kong, the Banana Master and the Tropical Glider.

This tour's Coin Rush course is RMX Rainbow Road 1, which was reused from the Super Mario Kart Tour and the 2021 Paris Tour. The menu's background features Bowser's Castle as the landmark for this tour.

This will be the last tour to feature the seventh set of Expert Challenges, which started in the 2021 Halloween Tour.

Today's Challenge
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favourite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in RMX Ghost Valley 1R in the Funky Kong Cup using Dixie Kong 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.

All-Clear Pipe
The All-Clear Pipe randomly shot out one of the following regular High-End items. The appearance rate can be viewed via the "Pipe content" link on the Gold Pass purchase screen.
