Mario Tour (2023)

The Mario Tour is the ninety-first tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on March 8, 2023 and ends on March 21, 2023. The tour runs through Mario Day. Reflecting the theme, the tour features the introduction and classic course debut of Mario Circuit from Mario Kart DS coinciding with its presence in Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was announced a day before the tour's trailer and would release a day after the start of the tour, as well as the R/T variant of N64 Luigi Raceway.

This is the first tour to introduce a recolor of the Pipe Buggy since the base kart's debut in the 2019 Halloween Tour eighty-eight tours prior, thus making it the longest gap of the kart's (and any item in general's) introduction and its first recolor variant. It also introduces the green Roving Racer from Super Mario Odyssey, which previously had its textures added to the game eighty-five tours prior in the London Tour. This is the first tour since the 2022 Doctor Tour to feature RMX Mario Circuit 1 and SNES Mario Circuit 3, and the first since the Singapore Tour to feature the normal, R, and T variants for SNES Mario Circuit 1. This tour also marks the first return of RMX Donut Plains 1, as well as the Precision Gliding bonus challenge.

The Coin Rush course for this tour is SNES Mario Circuit 1, which is reused from the 2020 Trick Tour and the Toad vs. Toadette Tour.

An event called the "Mario event" will begin and end in this tour to coincide with Mario Day. This is the first event to last only one tour.
