Los Angeles Tour (2020)

The Los Angeles Tour is the twenty-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on September 23, 2020 and will end on October 6, 2020. True to its name, the tour introduces a new course named after, , aptly named Los Angeles Laps, marking the first instance of a tour taking place in another city in the same country as a previous tour (the New York Tour; both cities are in the United States), and the sixth city-based nitro course overall (with the last one being Vancouver Velocity in the Vancouver Tour, eight months prior). However, the track itself takes place in Santa Monica as indicated by the Santa Monica Pier and the course flags welcoming players to Santa Monica.

This tour takes place during the game's first anniversary, although the game does not commemorate it until the next tour, the 1st Anniversary Tour. It also introduces a new variant of Mario based on his Sunshine outfit from Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Odyssey. This tour also features the first new R/T course since SNES Vanilla Lake 1R/T in the Trick Tour, being Los Angeles Laps R/T. The menu's background featured the Santa Monica Pier as the landmark for this tour.

Signature kart sets
