Ice Tour

The Ice Tour was the ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on January 15, 2020 and ended on January 28, 2020. Reflecting its ice theme, Penguin Luigi and Peach in her winter outfit from Super Mario Odyssey are introduced as the spotlight drivers with Ice Mario from Super Mario Galaxy introduced as a new driver, while Frappe Snowland and Vanilla Lake 1 are introduced as new courses, marking the first appearance of a Vanilla Lake course since Mario Kart: Super Circuit. This tour also introduced the R/T variants of SNES Choco Island 2, DS DK Pass, and 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar. Starting with this tour, karts and gliders are no longer eligible for cup bonuses that previously moved them up a tier on certain cups. The menu's background featured the snow statue of Mario from Frappe Snowland as the landmark for this tour.

Signature kart sets
Drivers with a corresponding cup in the tour were bumped one rank up in every course of their cup. Up until this tour, each one had a specific kart and glider pair that were also bumped one rank up.

Rewards
Gold cells indicate rewards exclusive to Gold Pass members.
