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 twenty-seven tours prior. 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. The special Bowser's Minions Pipe from the Pirate Tour returned in this tour, albeit with some different drivers and karts and gliders added.

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

The Kamek Cup debuted in this tour (the first new cup since the Bowser vs. DK Tour eight tours prior), although Kamek was never made as a regular High-End driver until the Battle Tour twenty-nine tours later.

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

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 SNES Choco Island 2R in the Ice Mario Cup using Bowser Jr. 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.
