Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2020)

The Mario vs. Luigi Tour was the thirty-first tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on November 18, 2020 and ended on December 1, 2020. This was the first tour to feature a Team Rally event, in which players select one of two teams at the start of the tour and try to collect as many team tokens scattered throughout the race for their team as they can by using drivers on their team. Once the teams are chosen, they cannot be changed later. The teams for the Mario vs. Luigi Tour were Team Mario and Team Luigi. All of the races in the tour were played in the two teams, with the exception of bonus challenges, races in auto mode, and Coin Rush, in which cases, as with event tokens, team tokens cannot be earned. The team with the most team tokens collected won 15 rubies, 3,000 coins and a badge, as well as the title screen being changed to a picture of the team's leader (Mario or Luigi), while the losing team earned 10 rubies and 1,500 coins.

In a similar vein to the Trick Tour, every course within the tour was an R/T variant, with Builder Luigi from Super Mario Maker 2 being added as a playable character. The menu's background featured the hills from the SNES Mario Circuit courses and RMX Mario Circuit 1 as landmarks for this tour, while this tour's loading screen featured Mario and Luigi competing on SNES Mario Circuit 1R/T.

Team Mario, who collected 61% of team tokens, won the Team Rally. The title screen of the game was changed to the aforementioned picture representing the victory of Team Mario over Team Luigi, for the Rosalina Tour, the New Year's 2021 Tour and the Berlin Tour.

This is the first tour since the Jungle Tour to not introduce a new course to the game (though it did introduce the R/T variants of the GBA Sunset Wilds and RMX Rainbow Road 1 courses), being the first tour to introduce R/T variants of classic courses since the 2020 Trick Tour fifteen tours prior.

The third set of Expert Challenges was made available at the start of this tour, which then ended in the 2021 Cat Tour.

This team rally received a rematch in September 2022, making it the first team rally to do so.

Trivia

 * Neither Builder Mario nor Builder Luigi appeared in any of the course icons of this tour, despite being spotlight drivers.
