The '''Piranha Plant Tour''' was the seventy-fourth tour of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', which began on July 13, 2022 and ended on July 26, 2022. As the tour's name indicates, it featured numerous [[Piranha Plant]]-themed content, including [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Slide]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' returning as a [[classic course]], [[Petey Piranha]] as a new driver (marking his first playable appearance in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series since ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' almost 19 years prior, and leaving [[Koopa Paratroopa]] as the only character from that game to not yet be playable in ''Tour''), a Petey Piranha-themed [[Mii|Mii Racing Suit]] released as part of Wave 10, the [[Piranha Pipes]] kart from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and the new [[Piranha Plant Balloons]] glider. Additionally, most of the courses that have Piranha Plants in them, such as [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]] and [[SNES Choco Island 2]], were also included. The tour also took place during the 20th anniversary of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Petey Piranha's debut game, in Japan, July 19.

Starting from this tour, with the exception of [[coin]]s, the bonus point boosts from glider [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skills]] apply to items that appear in driver special skills, like the [[Lucky Seven]]. For example, if a player is to use a glider with the Mushroom Plus skill, the player will receive more bonus points from picking up [[Mushroom]]s shot out of a [[Mushroom Cannon]], instead of the point boost strictly applying to Mushrooms received in [[Item Box]]es.

For unexplained reasons, despite posting a teaser image for the tour the Thursday before the tour started, the official ''Mario Kart Tour'' [https://twitter.com/mariokarttourEN Twitter account] did not post the trailers for the tour and the corresponding Mii Racing Suit on the Friday before the start of the tour like normal, instead posting it on the day of the tour itself. However, the trailers were viewable in the News section of the game itself on the Friday prior.
This was the final tour to introduce a new 3DS course.
