Animal Tour

The Animal Tour is the eighty-third tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on November 16, 2022 and ends on November 29, 2022. This tour introduces Kitsune Luigi from Super Mario 3D Land as a new driver, as well as a Moo Moo-themed Mii Racing Suit, which players can retrieve by placing high in the tour’s ranked cups. Like the Sky Tour, players can also earn Light-blue Shy Guy for placing high in the ranked cups.

This tour also introduces DK Mountain from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Riverside Park from Mario Kart: Super Circuit (the latter of which makes its series debut as a classic course in this tour). Various other animal-themed drivers, karts, and gliders are also featured and introduced. This is the first tour since the introduction of Battle Mode in the Battle Tour to not introduce any new battle courses. The Chargin' Chuck Cup debuted in this tour, making this the first tour to introduce a new cup since the 2022 Cat Tour twelve tours prior, even though Chargin' Chuck had been playable since the 2022 Los Angeles Tour and had been available in regular pipes since the May 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour.

This tour's Coin Rush course is GCN Dino Dino Jungle, which is reused from the Hammer Bro Tour and the 2021 Autumn Tour. The menu's background features the volcano from DK Mountain as the landmark for this tour.

Starting in this tour, weekly spotlight items can appear as daily spotlights in the week opposite to the one in which they appear as a weekly spotlight.

Daily Spotlight
The Daily Spotlight contains a mixture of items themed around the tour, items that have ranked tracks as favorites, and gold items. The rates listed are specific for that type of item; drivers, karts, and gliders are selected separately.

Today's Challenge
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favorite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a balloon battle in GBA Battle Course 1 in the Mii Cup using the Cat Mii Racing Suit 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.

The badge for this tour's Today's Challenge is reused from the 2021 Autumn Tour.
