The 1st Anniversary Tour was the twenty-eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on October 7, 2020, and ended on October 20, 2020. It celebrated the first anniversary since Mario Kart Tour's release on September 25, 2019, and saw the return of four previous city courses (Tokyo Blur, Paris Promenade, London Loop, and Vancouver Velocity) while also introducing New York Minute 3, which all make up half of the tour's courses. Log-in bonuses were extended from 10 days to all 14 days of the tour, as was the event tokens event. Anniversary Challenges were also added alongside the standard Tour Challenges and granted the player rubies as rewards for completing each of them. Additionally, the number of free pipes for this tour was increased from 4 to 6. The menu's background featured the Empire State Building as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2019 Holiday Tour. This tour's trailer featured city skylines during its opening splash screen.
This was the third tour in a row where the Mario Cup was a ranked cup, being in the second week.
Despite celebrating the game's first anniversary, the actual one-year anniversary fell in the previous tour, the 2020 Los Angeles Tour. Instead, the tour was announced on the day in question, three days after the 2020 Los Angeles Tour began, making this tour's announcement date one of the closest ones to its previous tour's starting date, though no information besides its name was given until the day the tour would have normally been announced. This was the first tour to feature a special pipe that reused a theme and name from a previous tour (the Gold Pipe from the Cooking Tour). It was also the first tour to feature 35 unique courses, including variants (the only recurring track was New York Minute 3R/T); due to this, it had fewer base courses compared to previous tours, with 10.

TriviaEdit
- This was the first tour to have two variants of the same course in a cup, namely SNES Choco Island 1 (both the Reverse and Trick variant of the course appeared in the Diddy Kong Cup).
- It was also the first tour to feature a cup that only contained real-life city tracks; in this case the Mario Cup and its bonus challenge.
