Bowser Tour (2022)

The Bowser Tour was the seventy-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 24, 2022 and ended on September 6, 2022. Being themed around Bowser, the tour featured Meowser and Dr. Bowser in the first week's spotlight pipe, while the new courses introduced in this tour were Bowser's Castle 3 from Mario Kart: Super Circuit and a remix version of the GBA Bowser's Castle courses titled RMX Bowser's Castle 1 (the first non-SNES RMX course), making this tour the first to introduce both a classic course and a remix course, the first tour since the Hammer Bro Tour sixty-three tours prior to debut two non-city courses, and the first tour since the Kamek Tour twenty-six tours prior to debut a remix course. Two more courses in this tour are themed around Bowser: GBA Bowser's Castle 1 and 3DS Neo Bowser City, both of which had one of their variants in the ranked cups, being the normal and T variants, respectively. The tour also introduced Bowser- and Dry Bowser-themed Mii Racing Suits, with the former marking all Mario-themed Mii Suits from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being present in the game as of this tour. Both suits have the Bowser's Shell special skill, making this the first time a driver with said skill was introduced in a tour since Bowser Jr. in the Tokyo Tour, the game's second tour. The menu's background featured the mountains from the GBA Bowser's Castle courses and RMX Bowser's Castle 1 as the landmark for this tour.

Starting from this tour, the Sneeker kart is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

Of the tours that show short preview shots of the featured course at the start of their trailers, this is the first and only tour where only one shot is shown instead of two.
