The Valentine's Tour was the tenth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on January 29, 2020 and ended on February 11, 2020. It was the first tour to introduce only one spotlight driver, namely Baby Peach in a Cupid-like cherub outfit, reflecting the tour's theme of Valentine's Day. Additionally, both Peach (Vacation) and Shy Guy (Pastry Chef) returned from the 2019 Paris Tour as the spotlight drivers for the second week. Paris Promenade was once again the featured course of the tour as the new course Paris Promenade 2, a reference to Paris being commonly known as the "City of Love". This tour also introduced Pink Shy Guy as a new driver, as well as the R/T variants of SNES Ghost Valley 1, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, and DS Waluigi Pinball. The menu's background featured the Eiffel Tower as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2019 Paris Tour.
