Halloween Tour (2020)

The Halloween Tour is the twenty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which begun on October 21, 2020 and will end on November 3, 2020. It is the first tour to have the same title as a previous tour, while also being the first tour to introduce a course from Mario Kart Wii, namely Maple Treeway, which acts as the signature course of the tour. This Halloween Tour introduces three new driver variants: Mario and Peach in Halloween costumes, the former of which originates from a Halloween-themed HOME Menu theme for the Nintendo 3DS, and a gold variant of King Boo. For the duration of the tour, the Lakitu referee also wears a Halloween costume, and in a similar fashion to the festive trees and kadomatsu, Jack-o'-lanterns are scattered throughout the courses in the tour and grant "Trick or treat!" bonus points when hit. The menu's background featured the large tree from Maple Treeway as the landmark for this tour.

Starting with this tour, the Tier Shop was introduced (added in version 2.6.0, not implemented prior to this tour), where more items are available depending on the player's tier and change every week.

Signature kart sets
In every cup, the driver which the cup is themed about is raised a tier on each track, making them a three- or two-item driver on that course. Up until the Ice Tour, a kart and a glider were also given a bonus for each race in the cup.

Rewards
Gold cells indicate rewards exclusive to Gold Pass members.

Initial pipe appearance rates

Token Shop

Tier Shop
