Vacation Tour

The Vacation Tour was the hundred-and-second tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 9, 2023 and ended on August 22, 2023. This tour introduced Squeaky Clean Sprint, which first appeared in Wave 5 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, as a new course.

This tour also featured the first reappearances of Athens Dash (the original and 2), Bangkok Rush 2, GBA Peach Circuit, GCN Mushroom Bridge, and GBA Bowser's Castle 4 since their debuts in the Spring Tour, the 2023 Winter Tour, the Princess Tour, the 2023 Mii Tour, and the 2023 Bowser Tour, respectively. The Boomerang Bro Cup also debuted in this tour, making it the first tour since the 2021 Space Tour where the new cup is for a non-High-End driver, and marking the longest gap between the cup's character's addition to the game and the debut of their respective cup. This was the first tour since the Peach Tour where the new cup does not fall on the ranked week.

This was the second tour in a row where the Daisy Cup is a ranked cup, being in the second week.

As of this tour, all Birdo colors from the Booster Course Pass are present in Mario Kart Tour. Additionally, all of the Koopalings now have a Mii Racing Suit as of this tour.

The Summertime Celebration that started in the Sunshine Tour continued in this tour, and ended in the 2023 Summer Tour.

The Coin Rush course for this tour was Squeaky Clean Sprint. The menu background featured the lawnchair, front-load washer and laundry basket, suitcase, and potted plant from Squeaky Clean Sprint as the landmark for the tour. This tour's trailer featured floating bubbles during its opening splash screen.

This was the first tour to repeat a Big Reverse Race vs. 100 bonus challenge. It was also the first tour to give favorite courses to Koopa Troopa, Birdo (Light Blue), Rosalina (Swimwear), the Koopa Dasher, the Super Blooper, the Light-blue Turbo Birdo, and the Great Sail since the 2022 Anniversary Tour, Hammer Bro Tour, 2022 Sundae Tour, New York Tour, Tokyo Tour, Marine Tour, and 2022 Los Angeles Tour, respectively.

Despite Paris Promenade being featured in this tour, its Battle map is not present. The Daisy Mii Racing Suit appears in the course icon for GCN Baby Park, despite not being available this tour.

This is the final tour to introduce a "new" non-city course, though if excluding it due to Squeaky Clean Sprint debuting in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe first, the title goes to Piranha Plant Pipeline in the Pipe Tour.
