Metropolitan Tour

The Metropolitan Tour was the seventy-second tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on June 15, 2022 and ended on June 28, 2022. Similar to the 2nd Anniversary Tour nineteen tours prior, the tour only consisted of city courses, namely the four city courses that are set in Europe (Paris Promenade, London Loop, Berlin Byways, and Amsterdam Drift), introducing Berlin Byways and Amsterdam Drift 2 (making this the first tour since the Hammer Bro Tour, fifty-eight tours prior, to introduce two courses and the first tour overall to introduce more than one city-themed new course) and featuring the reappearance of Berlin Byways 2, Amsterdam Drift, Paris Promenade, Paris Promenade 2, Paris Promenade 3, London Loop 2, and London Loop 3. This tour also featured various food- and chef-themed items, including the debut of both a Pastry Chef Mii Racing Suit and a variant of Rosalina in a chef outfit. The Rosalina Mii Racing Suit also returned as a ranked reward (its last appearance was in the Mii Tour seven tours prior), making this the first tour to reuse a Mii Racing Suit as a ranked reward, and the first tour since the 2021 Halloween Tour seventeen tours prior to repeat a ranked reward. This was the first tour since the Summer Festival Tour, forty-seven tours prior, where new city tracks did not debut with their R/T variants.

Starting from this tour, a Metropolitan Fest event takes place, which runs from this tour until the Bangkok Tour. The event includes a new set of City Course Challenges, which rewards rubies for completing a challenge, and completing all nine challenges gives a prize of 30 rubies.

The title screen was changed in this tour to represent Team Bowser's victory over Team Peach in the May 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour.

This was the last tour to feature the ninth set of Expert Challenges, which started in the 2022 Yoshi Tour.

This tour's Coin Rush course was Berlin Byways 2, which was reused from the Berlin Tour. The menu's background featured the, , and the as the landmarks of this tour, which were also reused from the aforementioned tour.

Starting from this tour, the Strawberry Crêpe glider is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
