<< List of tours >>

The Yoshi Tour was the fifteenth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on April 8, 2020 and ended on April 21, 2020. Set around Easter, the tour introduced an Easter-themed variant of Yoshi that appears to have hatched inside an Easter egg, along with assorted egg-themed kart parts such as the Egg 1 from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7, which was available in the closed beta. The featured course of the tour was GCN Yoshi Circuit. This tour also introduced a yellow Birdo as a new driver. This was the first tour to not introduce any new courses (besides the R/T variations of RMX Mario Circuit 1 and SNES Donut Plains 1), as well as the first to feature a special, third pipe with fifty items which included several returning spotlight characters, karts, and gliders from previous tours. This was the first tour to introduce similar-looking gliders, being the Eggshell Glider and Bright Glider. The menu's background featured the lighthouse from Yoshi Circuit as the landmark for this tour. This was the first tour to introduce two R/T classic courses instead of three, as well as the first tour to advertise the app on the App Store and Google Play at the end of the trailer. This was also the final tour to only introduce new bonus challenges.

With the addition of the new drivers in this tour, Mario Kart Tour exceeded Mario Super Sluggers as the Super Mario game with the largest number of playable characters.
