Pipe Tour

The Pipe Tour is the one-hundredth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 12, 2023 and ends on July 25, 2023. This tour introduces a brand new pipe-themed course named Piranha Plant Pipeline, reflecting the theme of the tour, while also adding two pipe-based karts - one being the Boo Pipes from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the other being the new Gold Pipes kart. Wiggler is introduced as a new driver after its series debut in Mario Kart 7 along with a themed Mii Racing Suit, coinciding with Wiggler's inclusion in Wave 5 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass (which released on the same day as this tour). In addition, a variant of Pauline in a cowgirl outfit is introduced as a new driver, making this the first tour since the Peach vs. Daisy Tour to introduce a variant of Pauline. The tour also sees the first reappearances of Wii Dry Dry Ruins since its debut in the 2023 Ninja Tour, GBA Yoshi Desert since its debut in the 2023 Yoshi Tour, and Piranha Plant Cove and Piranha Plant Cove 2 since their debut in the 2023 Exploration Tour, as well as the first reappearances of GBA Sunset Wilds and 3DS Piranha Plant Slide since the 2023 Exploration Tour, and the first reappearance of GCN Dino Dino Jungle since the Animal Tour. Counting re-routes as separate courses, this is the first tour since the 2023 Ninja Tour to introduce only a single course to the game.

This is the first tour since the Tokyo Tour to give the Cheep Charger a new favorite course, as well as the first tour since the New Year's 2021 Tour to give the Oilpaper Umbrella a new favorite course, and the first tour since the 2021 Halloween Tour to give Waluigi (Bus Driver) a new favorite course.

Similarly to the April-May 2021 Sydney Tour, New Year's 2022 Tour, and Spring Tour, the trailer and social media announcement were publicly released later than the usual time.

The Coin Rush course for this tour is Piranha Plant Pipeline. The menu background features the mountain from the starting area of Piranha Plant Pipeline as the tour's landmark.

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. Items marked with an asterisk (*) do not appear in the Daily Spotlight during the week they are available as Spotlight Shop banner items.

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 race in Kalimari Desert 2 in the Mii Cup using Wiggler 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.
