Night Tour

The Night Tour was the ninety-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on June 28, 2023 and ended on July 11, 2023. This tour introduced Rome Avanti, a new city courses set in Rome,, as well as Moonview Highway from Mario Kart Wii, marking its first appearance in the series as a classic course. Fitting with Rome Avanti's theme, Donkey Kong in a gladiator outfit was introduced as a new driver, the first variant of a Kong character. The tour also includes other city courses set at night (hence its name), namely New York Minute, Vancouver Velocity, and Singapore Speedway. The inclusion of Vancouver Velocity may also reference, which occurred during this tour on July 1, and New York Minute may also reference , which also occurred during this tour on July 4. This was the first tour since the 2019 Paris Tour to introduce both a new city course and a classic course, and the second tour in a row to add three courses simultaneously. It was also the first tour to feature the normal variant of New York Minute since its debut in the New York Tour (the first tour of the game), the first tour to feature the reverse variant of New York Minute 2 since its debut in the 2019 Holiday Tour (the seventh tour of the game), and the first tour to feature New York Minute B since its debut in the 2022 Autumn Tour. This tour saw GCN Waluigi Stadium's first reappearance immediately following its debut in the previous tour, making this the first tour to feature a course introduced in the previous tour since the second Peach vs. Bowser Tour. This tour marked the longest gap between appearances of a bonus challenge, as it marked the first appearance of the Vs. Mega Donkey Kong bonus challenge since the New York Tour.

This was the first tour to introduce a driver with the Banana Barrels special skill since the introduction of Funky Kong in the Jungle Tour eighty-one tours prior, being the Light Green Mii Racing Suit. Additionally, all Shy Guy colors from Mario Kart 8 have returned in Mario Kart Tour as of this tour.

This is also the first tour since the Marine Tour to give Monty Mole a favorite course (being the normal variant of New York Minute).

This tour's Coin Rush course was New York Minute, which was reused from the New York Tour and the 2022 Autumn Tour. The menu's background featured the Colosseum as the tour's landmark.

The fourteenth set of Expert Challenges was introduced in this tour. This was the second set of Expert Challenges to last for seven tours instead of six; the first was from the 2023 New Year's Tour to the 2023 Ninja Tour.
