Pipe Tour

The Pipe Tour is the one-hundredth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 12, 2023 and ends on July 25, 2023. This tour introduces a brand new pipe-themed course named Piranha Plant Pipeline, reflecting the theme of the tour. Wiggler is introduced as a new driver after its series debut in Mario Kart 7 along with a themed Mii Racing Suit, coinciding with Wiggler's inclusion in Wave 5 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass (which released on the same day as this tour). In addition, a variant of Pauline in a cowgirl outfit is introduced as a new driver, making this the first tour since the Peach vs. Daisy Tour to introduce a variant of Pauline. The tour also sees the first reappearance of Wii Dry Dry Ruins, GBA Yoshi Desert, Piranha Plant Cove and Piranha Plant Cove 2 after their debuts in the 2023 Ninja, Yoshi, and Exploration Tours, respectively. Counting re-routes as seperate courses, this is the first tour since the 2023 Ninja Tour to introduce only a single course to the game. It is also the first tour to not introduce a new balloon design since their introduction.

Similarly to the April-May 2021 Sydney Tour, New Year's 2022 Tour, and Spring Tour, the trailer and social media announcement were publicly released later than the usual time.

The Coin Rush course for this tour is Piranha Plant Pipeline. The menu background features the mountain from the starting area of Piranha Plant Pipeline as the tour's landmark.
