Sydney Tour (September 2021)

The Sydney Tour was the fifty-second tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on September 8, 2021 and ended on September 21, 2021. It was the seventh tour to have the same title as a previous tour, the third city tour to do so after the 2021 Los Angeles Tour, and the first tour to share a title with a tour that was released in the same year, as well as the trailer color having the same color as the first one (orange to cyan gradient background). The tour introduced a new layout of the Sydney Sprint course, named Sydney Sprint 2. It also introduced a yellow -themed variant of Yoshi, as well as Pink Yoshi as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups. The Ocean Pipe returned in this tour, with the Polka-Dot Manta Glider and Starry Great Sail being added to the aforementioned special pipe, while a new glider called the Ship's Wheel also appeared in this special pipe.
