Kamek Tour

The Kamek Tour was the fifty-first tour in Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 25, 2021 and ended on September 7, 2021. As the tour's name indicates, Kamek was introduced as a playable driver after being previously cut from both Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart 8, making this the first tour to introduce a completely new driver to the series since the introduction of King Bob-omb in the Pirate Tour. Like the previous tour, this tour introduced a new remix course, this time based on the Ghost Valley tracks from Super Mario Kart, named RMX Ghost Valley 1. This was the eighth tour to be named directly after a character, the previous one being the 2021 Yoshi Tour. The special Bowser's Minions Pipe from the previously mentioned Pirate Tour returned in this tour, with more High-End drivers: Lakitu (Party Time), King Boo (Gold), and Gold Koopa (Freerunning).

In this tour, the title screen image was changed to an image representing Team Peach's victory against Team Mario in the Mario vs. Peach Tour.

This tour's Coin Rush course was GBA Bowser's Castle 2, making this tour the second non-city tour in a row to not reuse a Coin Rush course. The menu's background featured mountains and clouds from the Ghost Valley courses as the landmark of this tour.

Starting from this tour, the Black Turbo Birdo is available in all regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
